Just 3 points, and a goal difference of -3 (atm) - this seems unlikely to get them a 3rd place progression.
Yes agree they're unlikely to remain in the competion

I have a feeling they may just scrape through to the next round.

If I was any good at predictions/guesswork I'd have won the lottery by now :D

I'll be amazed if they do but if they do then I'll be pleased for them.

If they do qualify third in their group, they’d most likely face either Germany, Mexico, or (probably) France.

Two, possibly three teams can overtake them, which would push them out.
On the other hand, two teams could potentially move below them if they lose by more than one goal.
So its still possible for them to scrape through, but I would not like to bet on it.

It breaks the record of 3.587 million, which was set the last time the United States hosted the World Cup in 1994.

Thats becasue it has way more matches than any previous world cup.

There have already been more group matches (54) than the entire 1994 world cup, inc the final (which had 51).

By the time its done, there will have been 104 matches (the 2022 world cup had 64 matches).

After last night's surprises, Scotland are safe to book their tickets home... Under 5% chance of getting through.

With Senegal winning today as well, its looking very much like they will be out.

Strange but true fact today.
Both this evenings matches have English Refs;

Senegal v Iraq has Anthony Taylor.
Norway v France has Michael Oliver.

Jarred Gillett (Australian, but a PL ref so counts as ours) is VAR on the Norway v France match as well

Your're not suggesting an English stitch up surely!

Iran, all but eliminating Scotland, now look likely to go through and would enjoy a slightly less restrictive trip to Canada to play Switzerland.

Unless of course results in all of the remaining groups go against them.

Re: World Cup 2026
 
Croatia(by 3 or more) and Algeria(by 2 or more) would have to both lose badly and Congo not win against Uzbekistan. Not completely impossible, but unlikely.

Yeah looks an impossible task now for Scotland.

So far another dull game from England. Hard to get behind the team that just doesn't seem to want to be there.
