Win vs Croats would be incredible but a score draw keeps us within striking distance before the last match. If this result holds, 2 wins out of 2 and we're first place. Just depends on our players' mindset.

We need the Belgium Morocco game to end in a draw.

That way a draw v Croatia and a win over Morocco puts us through

A draw vs Croatia and a win over Morocco can still put us through even if today's result holds.

Surprised they went with Borjan on the graphic with the Serbia/Croatia angle

Should've put Herdman on it instead lol

Yes but Morocco will be playing for a draw. They’re extremely difficult to breakdown. Will be very tough to win that. I almost think we have a better shot at a win today against Croatia

Going for it.

Might as well.

2 against 3 in the midfield still worries me. But me being wrong is often a safe bet.

[vancanman]

Come on Lukaku, get stuck in. 

If these nitwits can't come back and draw level, I might be rethinking my wishes for the Belgium v Croatia match.  

That would result in Belgium only ending up with three points.

Croatia would...scrrew it, I'm so bad with numbers...if we win our next two games 10  - nil....

I fully expected Herdman with a big ‘F’ superimposed on him. 

[Kadenge]

We need Doneil stretching at the corner flag for this game.

Yes you are right.

Basically the Croatia game is a must not lose game

It could have had a decorative border, but lovely nonetheless.

The weird thing is that Hoilett can give you a 3rd CM. No one left to do that. Looks like we are going for all 3. Honestly, that might be our only option based on results.

Go bag a couple Mr Larin

He's Canada's keeper and that's all that matters on that score.

[narduch]

Not nervous for this one.

The opposite of how I felt for the Belgian game 

[vancanman]

Belgium are absolute shite.

[rdb9ty]

Fuck that second goal is brutal for us

[Floortom]

Have to beat Croatia now..goal difference will be on Moroccos side in our last match with them if we just draw Croatia 

[Califax]

Can I just say - and Im sorry if it's off topic - but this pissing match between Kilbane and Pesch is a pretty stupid thing to going on about on the day of our biggest game ever.

Especially ironic for anyone on TSN to get their guard up when their indifference to soccer is part of the reason the players and the CSA are at odds.
