I won’t say a word lads

Credit due to everyone involved tonight, it was a super win and deserved but I do think Portugal already being qualified played a part in it too.

It was still, barring an unlikely result v Armenia on Sunday, their second last competitive game before the summer's World Cup. I'm sure it was taken very seriously and it hasn't been an impressive campaign at all for them with late winners needed against us and Hungary.

 

[fed up]

I wouldn't be getting too carried away just yet..

Hungary just need a draw, they'll have seen that our wide players need to be pushed back and that we're toothless in center mid.

It's still a big big ask to go there and get a win.

Great win and well deserved , a bit of pride back in the jersey and team.
Still need to win 3 more games in a row to get to world cup,a tough ask but who knows

three in a row? are the playoffs home
and away matches?

Agreed, that's what not beating Armenia does unfortunately. Different ball game when the onus is on you to attack.

But let's just enjoy last night first.

Our best performance since THAT night in Paris?

In this case they will have to play 2 single leg playoff games if they get a win in Hungary

The 2026 World Cup playoffs involve teams that didn't qualify directly for the tournament. Here's the lowdown:

*UEFA Play-offs:*

- 12 group runners-up and 4 best Nations League group winners participate
- Teams are drawn into 4 play-off paths with single-leg semi-finals and finals
- The 4 path winners qualify for the World Cup

Yep 3 games

So we need to beat hungary. [ become 1 of 12 above)

Then
We need to win a one game sf
then
We need to win a one game final

Then we would qualify for world cup
