Noorderling29 157 Posted September 19, 2023 #11 Share Posted September 19, 2023 My point is that, in the context of possible Olympic qualification, it could be in the interest of either Scottish or English players to achieve a certain result in the matches between those two countries to keep their chances of participation in TeamGB in Paris alive. I see they meet at the last match day, with potentially everything still to play for. I hope and expect nothing untoward happens, but there is the potential for serious questions.

The chances of Scotland's women sandbagging to keep hope of an Olympic spot in what would be more or less an England team alive is so small as to be subatomic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodge 1,004 Posted September 20, 2023 #13 Share Posted September 20, 2023 Quite the opposite. There is literally nothing more the Scottish footballers would like to do than beat England. If that means 2/3 of them won't go to the Olympics, they'll be more than happy to make that sacrifice mpjmcevoy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one still knows if someone will actually play on friday against Sweden in the Nations league premiere, also working as olympic qualification. And there was a game finally that ended 3-2 to Spain after a penalty goal in the very last second Edited September 22, 2023 by Swewi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AsensioWillemsen 155 Posted September 23, 2023 #17 Share Posted September 23, 2023 2-1 loss against Belgium basically means we need to get 4 points against England minimum or it is all but over already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wrote with maybe 30 seconds more to play in my comment here that the game ended 2-2. Had to Edit immediately. Such a way to probably miss olympics.

AsensioWillemsen 155 Posted September 27, 2023 #19 Share Posted September 27, 2023 (edited) Clutch win against England in a match that really could have gone either way. Lucky that a clear offside goal was ruled onside. Really weird that VAR is absent at the Q for the biggest women's tournament. Happy that Spain is doing well, Spain and Netherlands could still well both qualify, although Spain and England are still the favourites for the quota to me. Don't see any other country than France winning Group B and while Group C is open, Germany doesn't seem very solid and I don't think Denmark can upset against the top nations either.
