How many points to get through?

[DireStraits]

We need two more win to be sure but 1 win and a tie can be enough.

Guys try this widget!!! its AWSOME!! http://ultra.zone/2018-FIFA-World-Cu...FC-Third-Round

When one wants to predict its always good to look back and see the trend and from what we all have seen from our Cheetahs, its safe to say we will get probably another TWO more wins and in worst case another TWO more draws, so add another 8 more points to the 14 we already we have!! 22 points is my prediction and an easy transit to RUSSIA! CQ literally got his salary paid from the WC funds we get for qualifying....and IFF got their TM training pitch!

you know that we are through if we win against china, uzbekistan doesnt win against qatar and south korea lose to syria!!

In case of UZB not winning vs Qatar and us winning vs China, a draw vs UZB would be enough to qualify for the WC (unless Syria gets more than 3 points out of their next two games)

[Dreamer]

Sounds like 2 wins will get us through, even if we lose against Korea in Korea.

To put it simply without all the ifs and ands we need 22 points to guarantee qualification in the current state of the group.

If the teams chasing us keep winning then we can only know if we have qualified when there is one game left provided we win all 3 of our next games.

you guys are wasting your time, in CQ mind, we need to win the next 3 matches to go to WC. He has always set the bar high so we do not FAIL! thinking about how many points we need is a typical iranian coach mentality. Under CQ, it is 100% or nothing!

^ Agree, CQ has gone into a higher gear. yesterday's formation was a proof of it.

Lol winning the next 3 games is exactly what we need to guarantee qualification.

so if we win ,and uzbek dont win, we are through, even if korea win is fine for us, because korea play a game against uzbekistan, so we are through

Things are looking good guys, hopefully a good result against China is on is way

That's not true. If in the coming round we win and uzbeks lose they can still qualify over us if we lose the next three and they win the next three. Even if we draw one of the next three and they win their next three we are tied on points.

You can try it here.

We need to win 3 of the next 4 to categorically guarantee our progression WITH the current standings. It can obviously change in the next round based on results.

thats not true we just need to win 2 of the last 4

Yeah, I just did the calculations and even if Uzbeks or Korea win out, we would only need 6 points from the remaining matches to qualify as second team. I think people were saying that 3 wins is what is needed to guarantee winning the group.

I have a feeling that at minimum we will finish with 21 points, which would make us easily qualify. I wouldn't put it past us to finish with 3 wins at home and a tie, giving us 24 points and easy top spot in our group.
