This one is way more simple now. Four points in third place or better gets a team through, period. All four teams have a chance of advancing. Because of the scenario it's impossible to know which slots each team is more likely to wind up in. So, we can wait and see on this one.

Poland is very underated. No swedes would take a spot in polands team. 99 of 100 Poland wins over Sweden.

Sweden probably have a slightly better squad and manager than Poland. We are favorites but it could go either way.

Yes it looks like it will considering GD with other 3rd place teams
It's already clinched (excepting the fore-mentioned scenario where they end up in 4th :laugh:) - they only have to be better than 2 3rd place teams, and Ukraine and Finland are already locked in with negative goal differentials.

Poland are less than the sum of their parts. They're more talented than Sweden but a worse team.
Pretty much this, but I have some faith we'll get our acted together and pull off the win in the end. Defensively though we've looked very shaky and Isak/Forsberg can absolutely take advantage of us.

A Swedish guy saying Poland are way better than Sweden sounds like a classic counter-jinx to me. I think it's quite obvious Sweden are the more effective team and talent-wise Poland are no better than Sweden other than Lewandowski who obviously can't be matched - but who can also be neutralized when playing on a meh team like Poland.

Poland has everything to play for, they need points to make playoffs. Sweden already is in playoffs. This is gonna get ugly. My serbian friend is gonna watch todays game, its first time he will watch Sweden play. Not a good game to decide watching Sweden.

Well looks like we need a tie. Thanks a lot Tarkovic! Hope the door doesn’t hit you on the way out

with how good hamsik where against sweden, u cant count out slovakia. and skriniar should be able to stop that morata guy.


Both of these statements are incredibly false. It's a 50/50 matchup.

How so?

Lewandowski is better than Isak.
Swiderwski is better than Berg/Quaison.
Moder/Klich/Zielinski/Linetty/Krychowiak is better than any on Swedish midfield.
Bednarek/Glik/Bereszyński is better d.
Szczesny is much better than Olsen.

Form? Poland getting red card against Slovakia is what f***ed things up for Poland. Poland did play better against Slovakia/Spain than Sweden did.

Isak, Forsberg, Lindelof, Kulusevski and Augustinsson would all make that Poland team.

Besides, individual talent isn't everything. Poland have been considered underperformers for a while now.

Who says they couldn't all play together?



Very different players.




:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:



You are comparing a left back to a centre-half?

diffrent yes, but klich is better.

glik was a top guy in monaco for a long time. lindelöf is one of the most bashed player in united for years by united fans.

i thought poland played with 3 players in their backline?
