Wales!

It's looking very likely now, i think there is a good chance at first, although does it go on head to head record or goal difference?

3 points clear with Cyprus away, Israel at home, Bosnia away and Andorra at home. Bosnia is the real tough one but given the teams form 9 points is more than possible.

And it's in our own hands too

I'll be gutted if Wales finish 3rd now and having to play an extra team to qualify (wales have a great history of bottling), if we were offered 2nd right now id snap yer hand off!!

Heres hoping Ireland and Scotland can go all the way although its looking like only one or the other can go through

I actually think Cyprus is the big one for wales, if we pick up another 3 points there I THINK we'll finish at least 2nd, if we lose, nerves will kick in and there's a good chance we'll start dropping unnecessary points elsewhere

We have a five point lead over Israel and Cyprus and 6 over Bosnia so im pretty confident but we have come close a few times in my lifetime. Really want us to finish first though, could it help us for the draw?

Seeding at the tournament is likely done by the FIFA rankings. France are seeded. Sapin will be too if they qualify seeing as they are the holders. so to be a top seed in one of the remaining 4 groups you'd need to be one of the 4 highest ranked teams. England, Holland, Italy, Germany will all be there or thereabouts you'd think.

Tough ask for a top seed.

Ahh was more thinking of 2nd 3rd seeds and that kind of thing but I am guessing that doesn't happen then. Down to luck of the draw then, a lot of teams are potentially beatable with Wales current form.

I'm not sure. I think they still divide everyone up into to 4 separate pots. Basically, win as many games as possible (todays result will fire you up the charts) and take your friendlies seriously.

Delighted to see Wales do well.

I can't see Wales blowing it now, Cyprus away, Israel home, Bosnia away and Andorra home.

They'll be beat Andorra guaranteed, and I think they'll stay unbeaten with the rest the only one which is worrying is the Bosnia game. However I'm pretty sure the momentum of this victory will get Wales over the line. Beating Cyprus is a big step.

Also Wales are going to shoot up the rankings (could be higher than England if certain results happen this weekend) and they are also going to be in Pot 1 for the World Cup draw next month.

They were in pot 6 last time round, amazing.
