If we lose against Uraguay we will fly home but hopefully we will beat them and they will beat Italy putting all teams on 3 points for the last games.

Not true. We can lose against Uruguay and still go through.

If we lost to Uruguay we can still go through providing Italy win both their games and we beat Costa Rica

I hadnt considered that possibility but in the event of that happening do we need to beat Costa Rice by 2 goals or will a straight head to head win do.

Why not state the obvious Correct me if I'm wrong but Simster is just trying to evaluate all the options, not whether we are good / bad enough or if you are bothered.

Thank you, Smeg.

No one appears to have factored in alien abductions this evening of Italy, Rica and Poyetguy.. We are sure to go through if this happened..
