If Swiss beat France on Saturday, we beat Cyprus, and then France win their last game and we beat Swiss, then all three of us will finish on 19 points.
Qualification in the event of tied points, is normally decided on the basis of the home/away results between the two teams tied. But if three are tied, this can't work, as in the scenario I have outlined above, we would be entitled to finish ahead of the Swiss, the Swiss would be entitled to finish ahead of the French, and the French be entitled to finish ahead of us. Complex isn't it.
Does anyone know what criteria decides qualification where three teams finished tied, and the home/away rule has to be chucked out the window because it can't work ?
