Holland/ Netherlands have gone rubbish since Johnny Heitinga was removed as their defensive linchpin. ;-)

this thread is a disgrace, SOME of you need some education -

Holland is a region and former province on the western coast of the Netherlands. The name Holland is also frequently used to informally refer to the whole of the country of the Netherlands. This usage is commonly accepted in other countries, but in the Netherlands and particularly in other regions of the country it could be found undesirable[2] or even insulting.[3]

Nobody lives in those parts plus they talk funny so no one cares what they think lol

Now Turkey are through as best 3rd place team and the play offs are between the rest I take it with Ireland still in the unseeded half????


Pld W D L GF GA GD Pts Qualification
1 A

Turkey 8 5 1 2 12 7 +5 16 Qualification to final tournament
2 F

Hungary 8 4 3 1 8 5 +3 15 Advance to play-offs
3 C

Ukraine 8 4 1 3 11 4 +7 13
4 H

Norway 8 4 1 3 8 10 −2 13
5 I

Denmark 8 3 3 2 8 5 +3 12
6 G

Sweden 8 3 3 2 11 9 +2 12
7 D

Republic of Ireland 8 3 3 2 8 7 +1 12
8 B

Bosnia and Herzegovina 8 3 2 3 11 12 −1 11
9 E

Slovenia 8 3 1 4 10 11 −1 10


IF this is the case (and of course open to usual correction) then we face one of Hungary (grand) Ukraine (grand) Norway (grand) or Denmark (also grand).

Chickens are not being counted by any means but qualification is very much in our hands. Many a slip........

Italy have not been beaten at home since a loss to Denmark in 1999

The Belgian coach has got to go.

COuld you imaginer what a decent coach would have that squad doing.

They are bang average imo.

i do agree, but weirdly they're going number one in the rankings now :s

too many individuals rather than a team, but they're way too good not to achieve anything.

koff!


i was there, great stuff. hope the andorran guy who was seriously injured is better. heard it was horrific. so proud of our little country though, wonderful acheievemnt, such a tough tough group as well. bosnia starting sluggishly helped us, but 4 conceded and only 1 defeat when you have israel (who won their first 4 games) and cyprus who won away at bosnia and israel being not the type of banana skin estonia are

on another note, they probably should sack off teams like andorra and san marino, it's just a waste of football. I know people say they're never going to improve if they don't play against better players, but spending every game of every competition with 11 men packed in front of their goal is no real use to anybody. I mean it's been decades and these teams just don't improve whatsoever. They're semi-pros, should they really be competing against professionals?

COYBIG !!!!

why are they all 8 played? have they discarded the two games against the bottom ranked team so it matches up with group I? further backs up my point about teams like san marino and andorra that i just made.

 

[Bluerover]

Honestly not sure.

This will all become clear in coming days.

I'm guessing this is non-friendlies?

 

[toffeejack]

didn't realise we were going to be in the bottom pot for the euro draw becuase it's based on UEFA coefficiant not the rankings! ffs and there i was thinking we'd be top haha


no idea what UEFAC is, but guessing it's based on where teams were at at the start of qualification?

As long as it's not Ukraine. Or Sweden. Actually not Denmark either.

Come to think of it I don't fancy Norway either, Bosnia have won their last 2 games so not them, and Hungary are Hungary for success.

Has to be Slovenia then.
