Honey Honey Posted January 24, 2018 Posted January 24, 2018 So one of Wales and Ireland will get relegated then
Smiley Culture Posted January 24, 2018 Author Posted January 24, 2018 Bit of needle between Ireland and Wales after the Coleman leg break, two massive games for each there.
Administrator Stan Posted January 24, 2018 Administrator Posted January 24, 2018 League A Group 1 Netherlands France Germany Group 2 Iceland Switzerland Belgium Group 3 Poland Italy Portugal Group 4 Croatia England Spain
Administrator Stan Posted January 24, 2018 Administrator Posted January 24, 2018 GROUP OF DEATH KLAXON for Group A1
Honey Honey Posted January 24, 2018 Posted January 24, 2018 Englander drawn with Spainer according to the host
Smiley Culture Posted January 24, 2018 Author Posted January 24, 2018 Just now, Stan said: GROUP OF DEATH KLAXON for Group A1 Not in the slightest. It’s a two-way battle, Holland are dog shit. 2, 3 or 4 are much harder groups.

Smiley Culture Posted January 24, 2018 Author Posted January 24, 2018 England are in danger of relegation there, I reckon. Croatia won’t be an easy place to go and Spain are Spain.
Honey Honey Posted January 24, 2018 Posted January 24, 2018 SkySports have no idea how this tournament works

We havent even got a coach at the moment! but the prospects coming through are some of the best youth about in Europe.
LFCMike Posted January 24, 2018 Posted January 24, 2018 Only thing I'm not sure about is the qualifying for the Euro's and World Cup. Does that still work in pretty much the same way then?

Eco Posted January 24, 2018 Posted January 24, 2018 Still surprised Italy qualified for the League A in this new 'League'. Still seems odd to be that the 4 League Champions get automatically qualified into the Euros, as (to me), it's like saying the winners of Leagues One and Two both get a Europa Spot, but I guess that's how they get countries excited for this.

It’s so small countries have something to play for rather than just promotion, it would have made this concept pointless for them.

Eco Posted January 24, 2018 Posted January 24, 2018 Just watched the UEFA videos explaining this competition and how it relates to the Euro and Euro qualifiers. Pretty well thought out it seems.
Eco Posted January 24, 2018 Posted January 24, 2018 Well a few Group of Deaths in League A. Group 1 for instance will see the Dutch relegated, with either France or Germany winning it. Italy gets a great draw with Poland and Portugal. It wouldn't surprise me to see Italy win this group actually.
ScoRoss Posted January 24, 2018 Posted January 24, 2018 Not a chance of even a weekend home game for Scotland. UEFA and their 'week of football' is just appalling once again.
Smiley Culture Posted January 24, 2018 Author Posted January 24, 2018 7.45ko for the Spain game for England, which is a bit of a crap time on a Saturday, I’d have taken anywhere between 12-5pm. A 2pm ko for Croatia at Wembley on a Sunday isn’t too bad, though. Will try and do both, I think.
Guest Posted January 24, 2018 Posted January 24, 2018 One problem is if you are in a harder group you can get relegated where as a team in an easier group might not. Do the lower groups have a play of?

Do the lower groups have a play of? The lower groups have a playoff to decide who wins an automatic qualification place for Euro2020. One place available per section.
