Poland, Ukraine and Greece.

Greece, Ukraine and Finland are the three best third placed teams in the qualifying groups.

Obviously if it were decided that way there still would be playoffs between the third placed teams but that would be a million times better and fairer than the BS they have invented.

What thread do I post and read about the brawl in brazil

It's hard to compare because some teams were in group of 5 vs 6. Greece only beat the bottom 2 in their group and they had Gibraltar as one of those teams. Ukraine had a tough group and got points off the top 2 so that one I agree with. Finland and Kazakhstan were in the same group with the same record so not sure how you say one is better than the other?

In the groups of six you deduct the points received against the bottom teams.

To me these seem to be quite relative speeches about the pots, the third seems to me stronger than the second, and the fourth is potentially stronger than the third. It will depend a lot on the draws, I think in the first and second pots they are not very happy. Apart from France, England and Spain of course.

If you win your NL B-group you are certain to get a playoff-spot in the qualifications but since you win the group you are promoted to the A-level where you have no chance for playoffs in qualifications.

Today is the semifinal of the playoffs, naturally UEFA decides to have most of the games kickoff at the same time Though Georgia-Luxembourg is an early kickoff due to time difference

A
Poland vs. Estonia
Wales vs. Finland

B
Bosnia-Herzegovina vs. Ukraine
Israel vs. Iceland

C
Georgia vs. Luxembourg
Greece vs. Kazakhstan

Winners of each game will meet in the finals to determine the last three Euro spots on Tuesday

 

[HajdukSplit]

Georgia with a 1:0 lead over Luxembourg at halftime, fully deserved the much better team but Luxembourg didn't defend the corner well which led to the goal. Luxembourg can barely cross the halfway line

 

[luiginb]

VAR doing a number there on Luxembourg. And just when the Portuguese (/s) Gerson scored.

 

[HajdukSplit]

Crazy few minutes for Luxembourg, will be extremely difficult for them now, Georgia simply the better side despite playing without Kvaratshkelia

 

[luiginb]

As expected, Georgia through to play the winner between Greece and Kazakhstan

 

[Jussi]

Fire everyone.

 

[luiginb]

Fire everyone.

C'mon you weren't beating Wales away

 

[HajdukSplit]

Estonia down to 10 in Poland and down a goal, not that they had much of a chance. Cruise control for Greece so far as well

 

[Jussi]

And that's game.

 

[HajdukSplit]

Wales convert a free kick from just outside the box. Match probably over, though Finland missed a golden chance prior to Wales going down the field and scoring

 

[Jussi]

Sack Rive.

Lifeline for Finland, nice run and finish by Pukki. Should be a decent 2nd half now

 

[OKR]

Pukki keeping the game alive for now, gonna be bleak years ahead for Finland once he retires.

 

[luiginb]

I'm watching Bosnia Ukraine. Seems like I picked the wrong game, feels like a friendly, nearly fell asleep during the first half

 

[HajdukSplit]

Defender at the far post kept Johnson onside because he fell on his ass. Really Finland don’t deserve anything how sloppy they have been to start both halves

 

[OKR]

Alho froze entirely there lol

Håkans is one of the most frustrating players i’ve seen, does some things at relatively high level but other things at almost below sunday league level.

 

[luiginb]

Bosnia 1-0 up against Ukraine! Both Mudryk and Zinchenko have sucked ass, and all the play is going through them. Dovbyk has received zero balls from the offensive players. Tsygankov is a big miss.
