On the eve of Scotland Women's National Team finding out their World Cup playoff fate, John B & Vinny are joined by Dave Smith to review their recent matches. First up, an away trip to Netherlands proved to be a useful exercise as Scotland gave a good account of themselves before going down 2-1 to the FIFA ranked sixth best side in Women's Football. This was followed up by a resounding 6-0 win in Faroe Islands to wrap up their qualifying group, where second place was long wrapped up.
The lads then discuss Scotland's potential playoff opponents as we will have to face two one-off ties on 6 & 11 October. Even then winning both matches might not be enough to secure qualification as only the two best playoff winners, combined with their qualifying campaign record, will advance to the Finals in Australia and New Zealand, with the third playoff winner going into a ten team tournament in New Zealand in February to fight for one of the three remaining Finals spots. It's all broken down by this link...

We then discuss the SWPL1 season so far and what teams have surprised us the most, both in an overachieving and underachieving aspect, and give our predictions for the weekend games. We also give credit to Rangers for moving their Women's Champions League qualifier against Benfica to Ibrox, and predict a few crowd records will be broken across SWPL1 this season.
Let's hope Scotland get a kind draw in the playoffs, two home ties would be nice!
