Statistical and tactical masterstroke by Coleman

Happy with a point. I cant see Israel doing better against Belgium than we do against Andorra on the final day. Even in the worst case scenario its all on Israel to do now because they didn't win tonight. Coleman was very smart tonight because it was effectively a six pointer that could have swung the balance of the group back into their favour, had they grabbed a win.

We could have been looking at had Israel grabbed a win against us tonight.

Wales 17
Belgium 17
Israel 15

Instead even if Belgium win tonight, we are looking at.

Wales 18
Belgium 17
Israel 13

Then, even if (in the worst case scenario)

Belgium beat Andorra
Israel beat Cyprus
We lose to Bosnia

Belgium 20
Wales 18
Israel 16

Still then, in the final game Israel need to beat Belgium in Belgium and Andorra need to beat us in Wales for them to go through with

Belgium 20
Israel 19
Wales 18

Even if we draw vs Andorra and Israel win then we still go through due to H2H (one win vs Israel and one draw)

Belgium 20
Wales 19 (through on H2H)
Israel 19

Coleman played a statistical and tactical masterstroke tonight. You have to be bloody barmy to not realise that. Had we lost 1-0 by taking silly risks, got caught on the counter attack (Israel have proven they can score goals) and then we go into the last 2 games with it being so close, there'd have been an absolute meltdown.

With some, Coleman just cannot win. All the pressure is now on Israel to beat both Cyprus and Belgium whilst we don't even get 1 point. Coleman put 5 at the back and made it difficult for Israel to get anything at all points-wise. Also, they barely offered a threat going forward just showing how organised we are as a unit at the back.

It is much better than

Wales 17
Belgium 17
Israel 15

I can assure you.

Good job Chris Coleman on not trying to rush the job and winning this 6 pointer. Only fools rush in! #TogetherStronger

The man has done a stellar job so far.

Stop being sensible !!!!!

Great result

Tactical master stroke your having a laugh - top ten sides in the world polish off games like this. Think you were all getting above your stations to be honest!!

Anyway another point closer for you and looks like you will be France so see you there

Understand your happy but its not a master stroke. He did nothing different to the rest our our games

Israel just made it extremely difficult to get around them
