Fan of the game and teams that play it the right way. That of course doesn't explain why I like England. Does anyone know why some groups are playing 8 games and others playing 10?
Sweden and Netherlands tied at 2. Sweden gets the auto qualification as the best 2nd place team with a win, still might with a draw.
dammit, those names just ran together for me on the match facts i guess my latent racism is coming through
So automatic qualification: Ukraine Poland Germany Russia Italy France Netherlands Sweden (best 2nd place team) Greece England Denmark Spain Playoffs will be chosen amongst Pot 1 vs Pot 2 Pot 1 Portugal Croatia Ireland Czech Pot 2 Bosnia Turkey Montenegro Estonia
Pot 1 teams are drawn against Pot 2 and play a 2 leg playoff. Winners of the two legs qualify for the Euro.
oh so 4 teams advance hm team: portugal croatia turkey estonia shame that only one of croatia bosnia can advance
Seedings The draw for the play-offs will be held on 13 October 2011 at 13.00 (UTC+2) in Kraków, Poland.[1] After confusion caused by the UEFA play-offs for 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifying – which was originally to be an unseeded draw, but was seeded by FIFA in September 2009 – UEFA have announced that the draw for the play-offs will be seeded. The four runners-up with the best positions in the UEFA team coefficient ranking system will be seeded. The draw will define the four pairings as well as the order of the home and away ties.[1] Each nation's coefficient was generated by calculating: 40% of the average ranking points per game earned in the UEFA Euro 2012 qualifying group stage. 40% of the average ranking points per game earned in the 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifying stage and final tournament. 20% of the average ranking points per game earned in the UEFA Euro 2008 qualifying stage and final tournament. The seedings are as follows:[2] Pot 1 (seeded) TeamCoeff Croatia 32,723 Portugal 31,202 Republic of Ireland 28,203 Czech Republic 27,982 Pot 2 (unseeded) TeamCoeff Turkey 27,601 Bosnia and Herzegovina 27,199 Montenegro 21,876 Estonia 20,355
team big countries for international tournaments bosnia and croatia are more skilled than ireland and probably would produce better matches next summer, but the possibility of england vs. ireland is always appealing
Euro '12 playoff draw: Estonia-Ireland, Bosnia-Portugal, Czech Rep-Montenegro, Turkey-Croatia. Bosnia-Portugal a rematch of '10 WCQ playoff
Stupid fuck. Might have to play Gerrard in the middle. -----Welbeck/Bent---- --Young----Gerrard----Walcott possibly Ox if he impresses enough -----Wilshere---Parker------ Can't see them competing. Not a good enough attack, Terry always plays like shit in the big tourneys, and Parker is a liability vs good teams.
will heavily depend on who they're matched up with. if they can avoid spain-germany-dutch who knows it isnt like italy or france are bulging the ole onion bag at rapid pace
