Playoffs Portugal vs. Croatia Netherlands vs. Switzerland Bosnia-Herzegovina vs. Scotland Austria vs. Wales Norway vs. Romania Serbia vs. Bulgaria Georgia vs. Belarus FYR Macedonia vs. Kosovo I’m pretty sure the play-offs would actually be A) Portugal vs Croatia Netherlands vs Switzerland B) Bosnia & Herzegovina vs Romania Austria vs Wales C) Scotland vs Bulgaria Norway vs Serbia D) Georgia vs Belarus North Macedonia vs Kosovo |

Romania is League C, Scotland is the top of League C so they would play someone from League B because they would only have three teams in this scenario...

Groups are worked from the bottom up according to UEFA so you need to start from group D and work up. Group winners cannot move groups as this gives them the best best chance of qualifying as a benefit of winning their group.

Spain manager Luis Enrique has stepped down for personal reasons and will be replaced by assistant Robert Moreno after less than a year in charge.
The former Barcelona boss signed a two-year contract in July 2018. Enrique had been absent since March because of "a family matter of an urgent nature" according to the Spanish Football Federation. |

Just wanted to post what I have for my own rankings, compared to what FIFA and ELO have as we go into the European Championship. Kind of helps tell the story better as far as which groups are the strongest and how balanced they are. Also I have whether thee team is trending up and or down or about the same as they have been.
Group A Italy | FIFA (7) | ELO (6) | Hazey (9) | Avg (7) Switzerland | FIFA (13) | ELO (15) | Hazey (23) | Avg (17) Wales | FIFA (17) | ELO (16) | Hazey (27) | Avg (20) Turkey | FIFA (29) | ELO (22) | Hazey (29) | Avg (27) Group B Belgium | FIFA (1) | ELO (2) | Hazey (1) | Avg (1) Denmark | FIFA (10) | ELO (9) | Hazey (8) | Avg (9) Russia | FIFA (38) | ELO (37) | Hazey (40) | Avg (38) Finland | FIFA (54) | ELO (40) | Hazey (47) | Avg (47) Group C Netherlands | FIFA (16) | ELO (10) | Hazey (11) | Avg (12) Austria | FIFA (23) | ELO (33) | Hazey (24) | Avg (27) Ukraine | FIFA (24) | ELO (20) | Hazey (44) | Avg (29) North Macedonia | FIFA (62) | ELO (60) | Hazey (49) | Avg (57) Group D England | FIFA (4) | ELO (8) | Hazey (3) | Avg (5) Croatia | FIFA (14) | ELO (18) | Hazey (32) | Avg (21) Czech Republic | FIFA (40) | ELO (27) | Hazey (46) | Avg (38) Scotland | FIFA (44) | ELO (43) | Hazey (52) | Avg (46) Group E Spain | FIFA (6) | ELO (4) | Hazey (5) | Avg (5) Poland | FIFA (21) | ELO (22) | Hazey (25) | Avg (23) Sweden | FIFA (18) | ELO (17) | Hazey (37) | Avg (24) Slovakia | FIFA (36) | ELO (44) | Hazey (56) | Avg (45) Group F France | FIFA (2) | ELO (3) | Hazey (4) | Avg (3) Portugal | FIFA (5) | ELO (5) | Hazey (6) | Avg (5) Germany | FIFA (12) | ELO (12) | Hazey (15) | Avg (13) Hungary | FIFA (37) | ELO (35) | Hazey (38) | Avg (37) This post has been edited by DJHazey: 23rd April 2021, 01:29 PM |

The United States squad beat rivals Mexico in the CONCACAF Nations League final in June, 3-2. A match that went 120 minutes, with five goals scored, a missed penalty at the last minute by a man-down Mexican team after a red card was shown, things thrown on the field, the teams going after each other on the pitch, multiple stoppages in the game due to the aforementioned goings on, an instant classic that everyone should go back and watch when you have the chance. Mexico said there would be revenge when the Gold Cup came along...
Fast forward to last night and that revenge didn't come. A head off a free kick by Miles Robinson in the 117th minute clinches a 1-0 win for the Americans. A Las Vegas crowd that was estimated to be 90% Mexican supporters. Mexico rolled out their A squad for the tournament while the U.S. purposely kept theirs away to get a summer rest and went with almost exclusively young players many making their international debuts with this tournament. The USA-Mexico rivalry had become one-sided in recent years, but these past two months have helped even things up a bit. This tournament also showed that the U.S. have a strong generation of young talent coming up and not qualifying this time for the next World Cup would be shocking. CONCACAF used to have the final round of World Cup Qualifying be "The Hex" -- a six-team group to decide which three teams automatically qualified. One of the toughest qualifications in the world because of it being only the top tier countries for the region and many of the home locations being trouble spots due to weather and other factors that make them a 'hostile environment'. Only South America's qualification is arguably tougher. Now it will be "The Octagon" (yes, I'm coining this to be after UFC's fighting arena) with eight teams duking out for those World Cup spots. Canada Honduras El Salvador United States Panama Costa Rica Mexico Jamaica The home-and-home round robin begins September 2nd. This post has been edited by DJHazey: 2nd August 2021, 07:10 PM |

Notes about the above:
Asia is just starting their 3rd Round with two groups of six countries each. The 1st and 2nd place finishers from each group will qualify directly to the World Cup. The two third place finishers will play a head-to-head and then advance to intercontinental playoffs. Africa is also just starting their 2nd Round of qualifying by separating 40 countries into ten groups of four. The ten group winners advance to the third round where they will be paired into to five home-and-away ties, with each winner qualifying for the World Cup. CONCACAF is beginning their third round which is one large group of eight countries. It is a double round robin format with the top three finishers qualifying directly to the World Cup and the fourth place finisher advancing to the intercontinental playoffs. South America looks like this right now after six matches: Pos Team Pts 1 Brazil 18 2 Argentina 12 3 Ecuador 9 4 Uruguay 8 5 Colombia 8 6 Paraguay 7 7 Chile 6 8 Bolivia 5 9 Venezuela 4 10 Peru 4 The top four finishers qualify directly to the World Cup and the fifth place finisher advances to the intercontinental playoffs In Europe, they have played their first two or three matches and it looks like this: Group A Pos Team Pts 1 Portugal 7 2 Serbia 7 3 Luxembourg 3 4 Republic of Ireland 0 5 Azerbaijan 0 Group B Pos Team Pts 1 Spain 7 2 Sweden 6 3 Greece 2 4 Georgia 1 5 Kosovo 0 Group C Pos Team Pts 1 Italy 9 2 Switzerland 6 3 Northern Ireland 1 4 Bulgaria 1 5 Lithuania 0 Group D Pos Team Pts 1 France 7 2 Ukraine 3 3 Finland 2 4 Bosnia and Herzegovina 1 5 Kazakhstan 1 Group E Pos Team Pts 1 Belgium 7 2 Czech Republic 4 3 Wales 3 4 Belarus 3 5 Estonia 0 Group F Pos Team Pts 1 Denmark 9 2 Scotland 5 3 Israel 4 4 Austria 4 5 Faroe Islands 1 6 Moldova 1 Group G Pos Team Pts 1 Turkey 7 2 Netherlands 6 3 Montenegro 6 4 Norway 6 5 Latvia 1 6 Gibraltar 0 Group H Pos Team Pts 1 Croatia 6 2 Russia 6 3 Slovakia 5 4 Cyprus 4 5 Slovenia 3 6 Malta 1 Group I Pos Team Pts 1 England 9 2 Hungary 7 3 Albania 6 4 Poland 4 5 Andorra 0 6 San Marino 0 Group J Pos Team Pts 1 Armenia 9 2 North Macedonia 6 3 Germany 6 4 Romania 3 5 Iceland 3 6 Liechtenstein 0 The group winner qualify directly to the World Cup, the second place finishers join the top two Nations League teams who haven't already advanced for the playoff round.

The ref was a disgrace lastnyt, did everything he could to help the home team. Added 5 mins injury time at the end of each half plus and extra 2 mins in the first half and minute in the second half and apologised to Ronaldo for giving him a yellow card. Ronaldo should also have had a red for slapping one of our players before the pen was taken. He can do anything he wants though, ref was in awe of him ffs.

CR7 casually picking up another record before his homecoming! Fernandes largely anonymous though. He's an amazing header of the ball - easily the best I've seen and his ability at 36 is freakish. Problem is look at the positions Portugal have to take up to set those chances up for him. |

Yeh it’s weird how poor Bruno is for them, sometimes I feel Ronaldo overawes him or takes the limelight off him!
