Czech Republic 2-0. That one is surely done now - Moldova need to score three in 20 minutes, with 10 men.

Shame... Moldova had a great entry in Eurovision a year or two ago.1

Slovenia were under heavy pressure but break away and put one past the Kazakh goalie to retake the lead. That likely seals their place for next summer.
That game was heating up really nicely the last 5-10 minutes, you could sense the nerves of the crowd as Kazahkstan kept coming forward.

Czech Rep have won 3-0 and become the 18th team to qualify for next summer's competition.

Slovenia win 2-1 and become the 19th team to qualify for next summer's competition.
Kazakhstan will have to settle for the Path C playoffs.

wasn't too much different to the Kane one at the weekend tbh - I assume Mudryk got booked for diving since VAR is all about fair and consistent calls?1

luck of the draw surely?ValleyGary said:Playoff qualification is mad tho - Kazakistan and Luxembourg got 18 points Georgia got 8 🤣
Put Luxemborg or Kazakistan in our group instead of Malta and see how many points they would get.0 -
It goes on nations league performance which is my point. A well constested qualification (Luxembourg had Portugal Iceland Slovakia Bosnia) is equaled by half hearted nations league which I don’t deem fair.Manic_mania said:

Such an Italian result to qualify.Callumcafc said:Italy hold out for a goalless draw and become the 20th team to qualify for next summer's competition.

Yeah qualification is a bit BS in my opinion. Bosnia have finished 5th out of a group of 6 and still have a play off place. Group J might as well have not happened. Estonia finished rock bottom of their group with 1 point and still made the play offs.ValleyGary said:

Same here....watched MasterChef and Corrie instead.Wellred said:Wow what a boring game had to switch it off had enough
Of watching us playing the ball across the back
Sad when I can't even stand to watch England1 -
Estonia getting in after only getting 1 point in their qualifying group feels wron, especially as they only won their nations league group because they had malta and san marino. For context, Kosovo came 2nd out of 4 in their nations league group with Greece, northern ireland and cyprus, got 11 points in their qualifying group and dont get in.0
-
but that is the whole point of the Nations League
it gives the lesser teams competitive games against similarly ranked countries, but also provides a path to the play off that they would have no chance of usually making1 -

And they’ll probably just lose to Poland or Croatia in the semi final anyway.
It’s as close to a bye into the playoff final as you can get for the best team that didn’t qualify automatically.1 -
For the draw next month:
Pot 1: Germany, Portugal, France, Spain, Belgium, England
Pot 2: Hungary, Denmark, Albania, Austria & 2 others
Pot 3: Scotland, Slovenia, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Netherlands & 1 other

Croatia
Netherlands

Croatia and Wales both winning 1-0 at home.
Wales need to hold their lead against Turkey and hope for an unlikely Armenian equaliser or they will be heading to the Path A playoffs.
Elsewhere, Romania and Switzerland have both qualified but are battling for Pot 2 vs Pot 4 position. Romania would hold Pot 2 with a home win or draw, while Switzerland need to win in Bucharest to join Pot 2.
Romania have just taken the lead there.

Croatia 1-0 Armenia
Wales 1-0 Turkey
Romania 1-0 Switzerland
As it stands:
Pot 1: Germany, Portugal, France, Spain, Belgium, EnglandPot 2: Hungary, Denmark, Albania, Austria, & Croatia & Romania
Pot 3: Scotland, Slovenia, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Netherlands & Turkey
Pot 4: Serbia, Playoff A, Playoff B, Playoff C & Switzerland & Italy
Playoffs A: Poland v Estonia, Wales v Finland/Ukraine/Iceland
Playoffs B: Israel v Ukraine/Iceland, Bosnia v Finland/Ukraine
Playoffs C: Georgia v Luxembourg, Greece v Kazahkstan
Wales' opponent would be one of three Path B teams, to be decided by a draw in the upcoming days.This leaves the other two Path B teams to face Israel and Bosnia, who get the luxury of skipping the above draw and stay in Path B because they won their Nations League groups.Israel will be facing the "4th best" team so cannot face Finland (who would be third best, if not drawn against Wales) while Bosnia will be up against the "3rd best" team so can't be pitted against Iceland (who would be fourth best, if not drawn against Wales).
It's all really simple............... :-)2 -
As a result of Turkey's equaliser against Wales, Turkey have moved up to Pot 2 and pushed Croatia into Pot 3.
Everything else as above should be correct.
