Statsman, you know that, tonight, I'm relying on you to know if we qualified. Better not say we did if we don't ! :)
I can stomach not qualifying, but not thinking we did :(

So to ease the tremors of Perpete, and risk of my head on a stick, I shall now double and triple check the results of today's outcomes. Exciting times! :D

all the teams that are 6-1 before today's games will not affect us, as their spots are secured. Thus top 16 spots are out of the running. Here is the list from 17 to 32:

17 Belgium 6 2
18 Hrvatska 6 2
19 Türkiye 6 2
20 Schweiz 6 2
21 Brasil 6 2
22 Canada 6 2
23 Danmark 5 3 220
24 England 5 3 206
25 Magyarország 5 3 148
26 Bulgaria 5 3 142
27 Portugal 5 3 124
28 Malaysia 5 3 116
29 Sverige 5 3 89
30 U.A.E. 5 3 87
31 Hanguk 5 3 61
32 Singapore 5 3 51
Colombia 5 3 30
România 5 3 7
Scotland 5 3 -12
Rossiya 4 4
Australia 4 4
Peru 4 4
Norge 4 4
Jamaica 4 4
Andorra 4 4
Shqipëria 4 4

it is still a bit of a mess right now, I will try to go over it again to make sure
but from initial reports, it looks like we made it in the #31 spot!!!
hold your celebration, let me double check. Perpete will be so mad if my math is wrong! :P

I think we have history in the making... =)

the rankings of 6-2 teams might not be correct, but that is not of concern. going over the PD of 5-3 teams once again to ensure correctness

nigeria beating peru was crucial!
norway losing to vietnam may have also played a small role
japan not going down without a fight and taking down Andorra helped
jamaica vs romania played a tight game and eliminated each other from the competition

and there we have it... I hope my foot is not in my mouth when I say. We made it!
Congrats!!

Wow, congrats on that achievement! That's HUGE!! And thanks for the live recap even though I wasn't able to check it out live. A thriller with an amazing and positive outcome

Looks good, thanks for those stats

Sounds good! And I snatched a young Kim away from Woody's "claws". Looking forward to train another U21 prospect - and possibly (considering his size) NT player as SF. Let's see how far he'll go with his potential....

Thanks again, Moorwood, for letting me have him

yes, he needs a lot of outside-training but with his potential, he would only become a good u21 player and don't have a shot a the nt. So I'll try to get him there even if that's going to take quite a while longer than just a big

Well, we'll see what I can do. It's going to be hard work getting him from OD1 and PS2 to anywhere near what a SF will need. But I won't give up. And at least he has some nice inside skills to work with ... he's probably going to become a rather inside-oriented SF but we'll see what will happen. He'll definitely get all the training that I can give him, that's for sure
