Wales - What do we need to qualify?

Firstly the point in Belgium was massive and it shows how far we have come as a footballing nation. We are not a one man team. We have a reasonable level of quality right throughout the team

So after the game I looked at what we need to qualify. Taking two assumptions into account:

1) Belgium winning all their remaining home games
2) Andorra losing all their games

This would suggest that our home game on the 15th September-v-Israel will be the game that see's us qualify in 2nd place behind Belgium.

Assume belguim get 1st

Israel already have 9 points they also have to play Andorra and Cyprus both home in Israel that could take them to 15 and if they do beat us in either game against us they will have 18 points

Means we would have to beat Cyprus Andorra Israel home and draw with Bosnia away or belguim home just to draw level points with Israel

I dont think Belgium will win all the games they have.

Im also not sure on Bale upfront on his own, seems such a waste especially in a game like yesterday where we dont attach much. Playing him wide means he can effect the game so much more.

but doesn't 3rd mean that you qualify now..?

Think 3rd is a play-off spot. Not sure though.

I just found this: The group winners, runners-up, and the best third-placed team (with the results against the sixth-placed team discarded) directly qualify to the finals. The eight remaining third-placed teams contest two-legged play-offs to determine the last four qualifiers for the finals

So the best 3rd place team could be Wales then if that's the case bar from a total collapse

I think we can get a total of 20 points

6 games left

Israel Away 1 point at the most
Cyprus Away 3 points a must
Bosnia Away 1 point at the most

Belgium Home 1 point at the most
Israel Home 3 points a must
Andorra home 3 points a must

That's a total of another 12 points to get a tally of 20 points, even if we did lose at home to Belgium I think 19 points will be good enough to qualify.

so easy writing it down , I'm not getting ahead of myself we thought we were certain to qualify under Hughes then we collapsed , we have a good chance

I think Wales can beat Israel over there, I think that Bosnian game was a freak result which you get every now and then

My prediction.

I'd love us to qualify but don't think we will with coleman in charge.
