Sweden 99% out of WC- disaster for everyone

[elnino99]

with Sweden almost certain to miss out on the world cup, (only chance is Malta not losing to Portugal in Lisbon) HOW CAN WE HAVE A WOLD CUP WITH NO SWEDISH FANS AROUND.
WORLD CUP JUST LOST HALF OF IT ATTRACTIVENESS

Because one group has one team fewer than the others, matches against the sixth-placed team in each group are not included in this ranking. As a result, eight matches played by each team will count for the purposes of the second-placed table.

The table below reflects the current standings, but does not take into account that the team finishing bottom in each group may change, altering the points each team can bring forward, or that other teams in the individual groups may yet finish second.

Hope that makes it easier

It will count if Portugal want to finish second in their group.

But for deciding which of the eight out of nine second placed teams actually make the second round, no that game result wont count for Portugal as they will remain on the points they have for deciding that.

So Sweden must hope Portugal somehow **** up against Malta and they win their game so that they can finish second.

But it looks like Sweden wont make it

Portugal beat Malta in Malta 4-0. I doubt Malta can do anything to stem the rot in Portugal on 14th Oct.
