What is the correct?
FIFA report is (unusually) correct; Armenian FA site agrees with it (except for goal times, which differ slightly). But yes, Saag didn't come on until the 86th minute, so he couldn't have scored the second Estonia goal. Mjefm ( talk) 16:57, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
It appears to be a little bit more complicated than suggested, as if they clinch second via a draw it would still be possible for Turkey (who Spain have already defeated twice) to finish last in the group, leaving Spain on 13 after removing those two results. No set of results can guarantee both Spain second with a draw and Turkey not last, since if Turkey win it means Armenia must also win to guarantee second for Spain:
That means that they would have to have a group where second could finish with no more than 12 in order to guarantee a playoff spot; the only way that can happen is in Group 9 (where Scotland would have to fail to defeat Norway, then draw with Macedonia). PiGuy314 ( talk) 16:49, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
