The Spanish publication “Marca” made a detailed analysis today of the situation with the national team of “La Furia” and what is needed to qualify directly for the World Cup in the USA, Canada and Mexico, Sportal.bg reported.
Currently, Spain leads Bulgaria's group with 12 after 4 matches played and a goal difference of 15:0. Second is the Turkish team (9 points), followed by Georgia (3 points) and our national team is last without a point won.
There are two matches left until the end of the qualifiers, and the Spaniards are sure that with today's victory in Tbilisi they will win a direct quota for the World Cup. The condition is that Turkey does not make an “explosion” against Bulgaria and prevails 11:0.
“The calculations are crystal clear. A victory in Tbilisi qualifies Spain directly for the draw in Washington. Three points and Spain will be one of the 48 teams that will fight for the world crown. Failure would turn the match on Tuesday against Turkey in Seville into a final, although Spain would have two chances: a victory or a draw. Unless, of course, Turkey makes a goal-attracting explosion that could threaten our chances. If Spain wins by only one goal difference, Turkey will only have to win in Seville if it beats Bulgaria by eleven goals”, we read in the material of “Marca”.
We recall that a little over a month ago the “lions” lost their home game to Turkey 1:6. Another match from the world qualifiers, this one between Norway and Moldova, ended 11:1 in favor of Holland and company.
