    Faroe Islands
    Moldova

    Scotland 2 - 2 Austria
    Austria 3 - 1 Faroe Islands

    Decent start by Austria. The Faroe Islands match was must-win, which they did. A draw in Scotland is okay. Denmark is off to a good start with wins in Israel and home to Moldova. Austria hosts Denmark next, and three points would be huge.

    The Danes earned a decisive win with four goals in the last half hour. They’re now in definite control of Group F. Lots of games left, but Austria is probably hoping to advance from second place in the group at this point.

    Must-win against the last-place team in the group. Denmark still sports a perfect record. Israel and Austria tied with 7 points and will play each other next. Big match.

    Really a bad result that did serious damage to Austria’s chances. Pretty even match except for the scoring, as Israel converted almost all their chances.

    Austria dropped to fourth, now behind both Israel and Scotland for the second spot. Denmark still has a perfect record to lead the group.

    Another egg laid by Austria. Still in fourth place but now four points behind second-place Scotland. Might be the end of Austria's hopes to qualify, and probably need to win all four remaining matches to have any chance. Denmark trounced Israel to remain perfect.

    Faroe Islands 0 - 2 Austria
    Denmark 1 - 0 Austria

    Austria prevailed in the must-win match at Faroe Islands, but the subsequent loss in Denmark put Austria's World Cup dreams out of reach. They're still fourth in Group F, seven points behind second-place Scotland with two rounds remaining. Could move into third place with home wins against Israel and Moldova, but a top-two finish is out of reach.
