So if that one drops, there are still other things that can happen.
Because Senegal, if Senegal failed to beat Iraq, that's sort of one of the six scenarios.
but also Uruguay need to lose to Spain, Iran need to lose to Egypt, Austria need to beat Algeria by two plus goals, Congo need to fail to beat Uzbekistan, and Ghana need to beat Croatia by three goals.
So any four of those six scenarios need to happen.
Ghana aren't going to beat Croatia by three goals.
That's not going to happen.
Austria could beat Algeria by two goals.
It's a possibility.
Iran could lose to Egypt.
I think there certainly are four of those six are possible, but as many people will tell you, it's not just as easy as looking at it.
A lot of people who put on accumulators on a weekly basis will look at things and say, those four can easily happen.
And then 30 minutes into the games, you quickly realise that they're not going to happen.
