The first two should easily happen, Senegal will beat Iraq, no way Ghana beat Croatia by 3 goals, Austria - Algeria is the most nailed on draw in world cup history and doctor Congo should beat Uzbekistan So we're out.

There's something wrong with football when you can't rely on the Germans

A years contract extension then punt them back out on a season long loan?

If Uruguay get anything against Spain, then a return to Boston to play Germany can happen. Spain win, and the only possibility if we do reach the last 32 is Mexico. We need four of six scenarios below to go our way. Spain beat Uruguay (or draw if you're desperate to go back to Boston), but then you now need four from five below to happen. Egypt to beat Iran Iraq to avoid defeat to Senegal Ghana to beat Croatia by at least three goals Austria to beat Algeria by at least two goals Uzbekistan to avoid defeat to DR Congo

A quick update on the upgrade timeline - we'll be migrating the site in one day, rather than through the week - so DonsTalk will be unavailable from 10am on Monday.6 July 2026. The new site will be available from the evening of Monday 6 July 2026.

The fact that Turkey, bottom of their group, are out .... whilst having equal or better points/goal difference than some 'still in the hunt' illustrates what a shit system the 3rd place scramble is. It's bad enough having to, uncharacteristically, cheer on bigger sides against the diddy teams in the hope of our own diddy team's survival, but holy fuck!

Confirmed this afternoon by the club

Whilst Algeria (who'd beaten WG in the first match) were eliminated.

To be fair the team did everything I expected of them. Abject team performances backed by the most negative manager. Despite the Haiti win we were the worst team in the group. Haiti were unlucky against us but we can never say we were unlucky in the other two games. Lucky in all three not to concede more at best. Everything will start to get back to normal now knowing that all the optimism was wasted as per forever and we can get down to the usual business of anyone but....

Yeah, they have previous and a draw works for both Algeria and Austria. Might have to have a wee flutter…

Aye, strange that.... Wasn't it Austria in 86 or 90 that played out a draw? Edit: 82 against West Germany, where they played out a 1-0 win for the Germans to both go through

The Algeria vs Austria match is just above evens for the draw. Don’t think I’ve ever seen odds to draw a match so low before.

A case of seeing how many more days we can survive. Could potentially go out tonight, but unlikely. Spain, Egypt to win and Iraq to shitfest a draw and we're back in the hunt. A good chance that we'll get two of those three tonight, which will keep us clinging on until the final fixtures. I'm sure we'll all be staying up late with the excitement. I realised I forgot group L in my analysis: Group L: Ghana to beat Croatia by more than two goals. Very unlikely!

This thread isn’t going to last long as it seems we’re down to a 5.26% chance of making it though after overnight results. Getting what we deserve.

Ats cheatin min, check my post on page 146

Fuck! .... Didna see that comin', but credit far credit's due - some performance by Ecuador ... stunnin'.

Running out of options now as Ecuador keep us in bottom spot in the third league (for teams who have played all their fixtures).

Oh well we were always needing a miracle.

God fucking dammit

Watching through fingers is right

Aye I am watching it through my fingers. Ecuador probably the slightly better team. Ref is poor.

The Germany game is a nervy watcb. Ecuador well up for it
