⚽ UEFA Euro 2024 in Germany ⚽ - Qualifiers➡Group Stage➡1/8➡QF➡HF➡FINAL

[Rikafip]

My bad, posted out of my memory without actually looking at the table. Anyway, none part of Wales plan didn't worked. They didn't managed to beat Turkey and game ended 1:1 and they didn't got positive result from Croatia.

Yep, Turkey scored from penalty (that imho didn't exist) that secured them 2nd pot and we are not disappointed by not ending up nthere instead of them as pots 2 and 3 are pretty similar (some would say that 3rd pot has stronger teams).

Pot 2: Turkey, Hungary, Austria, Romania, Albania, Denmark
Pot 3: Croatia, Scotland, Czech Republic, Netherlands, Slovakia, Slovenia

There is still 4 open spots in EURO and it will be taken through Nation League playoffs in March.

There are 3 open spots for Euro as 4 best team from each of the leagues (A, B and C) that didn't qualify will go into playoff.

Who knows, Greece showing some strength now would probably boost confidence in the playoffs. But it's not going to be particularly easy.

I think that you have a very good chance to end up in Germany next year if you continue to play like you did during this qualifications and I would definitely like to see you there!

The teams for the European Championships have been fixed and the first draw for tickets has taken ladt week, but a few going through to round two. Nobody knows which game they can go to yet, but those who already have a ticket stay save in a german stadion in 7 months. One thing is strange, did you see how Germany played in the last two games? They lost against Turkey, the odds were x6.5 for turkey and they win the game 3:2. Now Germany lost 2:0 against Austria, whats wrong with Germany? Im glad they didnt have to play a qualifier because they maybe not have win it.

[Slow death]

In today's game between the Netherlands and Gilbraltar, there were 6 goals and all goals came from the Netherlands, and it is a very sad and humiliating scenario that the players, coach and fans of Gilbraltar went through throughout this qualifying phase. I say this because Gilbraltar in the games he has played has always conceded at least 3 goals, this trend has been in the last 10 games or more, and it is unbelievable that when a team plays it suffers at least 3 goals and in a systematic way, then it went to 4 goals in the last 5 games, even reaching the absurdity of conceding 14 goals in just one game and when I thought that at least in the next game they would make an effort in defense so as not to suffer the same shame, I see that the guys were humiliated again

This time they conceded 6 goals, meaning in just 2 games these guys conceded 20 goals and we're talking about consecutive games. Honestly, a team can be terrible, be a loser, not be able to score goals regularly, but see a team that has conceded at least 3 goals and this is happening in many games, then there is something serious with the players on that team and the coach is not I'm watching or I'm watching but I can't fix it, because at least the players could play in defense and that would avoid defeats with many goals, but for some reason I don't know, this team hasn't focused on defense. I think the most sensible thing would be to fire the coach and then start paying more attention to the players who are called up

Wow Greece really surpassed expectations by leading France to a tie.
Both teams played well but it's surely a surprise for Greece to not lose to a so far unbeaten France.
Sadly this doesn't mean much for Greece, the country was bound to finish third in the group and therefore be lead to play-offs for a potential qualification.
Who knows, Greece showing some strength now would probably boost confidence in the playoffs. But it's not going to be particularly easy.

At the beginning of the match France where handling Greece with kid gloves, unfortunately for them, Greece came well prepared, because they knew they were coming to play against the WORLD CUP runner up, especially recalling the way Gibraltar were brutalized.
2-2 draw was a fair one for me, because Greece deserves a point for their outstanding performance tonight.

The draw for the EURO 2024 will take place on Saturday, December 2nd and it’ll include 4 pots with 6 teams in each , POT 1 will consist of host Germany, England, Portugal, France, Spain and Belgium, POT 2 Will include Hungary, Turkey, Denmark, Albania, Romania and Austria. Scotland, Slovakia, Croatia, Slovenia and Czech Republic and Netherlan will be in POT 3

Defending Champs Italy, Serbia, Switzerland and 3 others who’ll join through Play Offs will be in Pot 4, I think this Edition of EUROS will be pretty interesting and one to watch out for and in my opinion im rooting for three teams to win the tournament either France, Portugal or England, however France got a more tougher squad amongst those other two.

[Captain Corporate]

Lets see how it goes, but the fact that we (Turkey) will join from pot 2, as the leader of our group is a great national proud for me. We did play very well, and so far it looks like everything seems to be going great. I understand that we are not dealing with something that will not be easy for us when we are at Euro, that will be harder, and the group stages will be hard and difficult, but the fact that we are participating is enough, rest is just a few games that we need to play well and that's it. I know it might be hard, but I believe that we can take care of it. We are building a very good generation for sure, looking like plenty of great amazing young talents are in this new generation.

Lukaku is underrated when he plays in the international competition. I don't know why people keep call him lakaka despite his performance that is not that bad overall. Im thinking about he shall get another chance.

This is why i don't even mocking him like what others did. Lukaku is underrated striker. This guy is still having potential even though he is not young anymore.

he was scoring a lot against zerbaijan.

It is clear that those who called him lakaka are not very smart people and that's putting it mildly. Lukaku has always been a great forward, he scores a lot, he is dimensional and at the same time incredibly technical for his size and can score from almost any position and with his feet and head and on the point of attack Lukaku is deadly.

All his problems were related to his character, judging by the description in the press, he is a very interesting person, speaks several foreign languages, he is not seen in scandals in nightclubs before the game. In general Lukaku is a Catholic, who does not touch alcohol and apparently quite difficult to relate to criticism in his address and is often offended by it, but those who can find an approach to him, such as Jose Mourinho, Lukaku opens up fully, scores a lot and often.

First of all, I think people sometimes call him Lakaka because he is known for making some dumb mistakes and some silly misses. And definitely, there have been a lot of lakaka moments.

 But when it comes to international competition, I absolutely agree that he is actually pretty underrated. Maybe that’s because he has not done something really incredible recently in international competition. But he can certainly perform. And I can say that sometimes he cannot perform as expected because of all the criticism and Memes, getting to his Mental.

Out of all the 20 teams who have qualified directly to the main tournament so far, one team surprised me the most - Albania. I don't remember seeing them in any of the major UEFA or FIFA tournaments. This time they were lucky enough to be placed in a weak group along with Czech Republic, Poland, Moldova and Faroe Islands and they made maximum use out of it by topping the group. Czechia was the other team who qualified from Group E. Poland used to be a very strong team, but they finished at 3rd place.

Albania was finish at first place and they have 15 points equal to Czech and indeed this is surprising results because before qualification stages begin most people were thought Czech and Poland will be qualified but poor performance from Poland makes them unable to play at Euro 2024 and about Albania if i am not mistaken Albania have been qualified to play at Euro cup on 2016 at that time they can able to finish at second place under Portugal on qualification stages but indeed their status on Euro 2016 as underdog team and their journey have to ended early because from group stage Albania only able to finish at 3rd place and on Euro 2024 too i think their status will not so different but Albania will into pot 2 for drawing stages

Well, I also feel a draw is a fairly fair result for this match. Because Greece, who hosted this match, really showed their readiness to face France. And if we look at the flashback of the previous meeting between these two teams, we will also be able to see that France, when they were the hosts, also had difficulties when facing Greece. So in the previous meeting, France could only win 1-0 thanks to the penalty kick they got. Without it, the result will definitely be a draw.

If Wales wanted to get out of the group, they had to avoid losing points against Armenia. Their loss of points helped Croatia.

Croatia head to another competition with the victory over Armenia to join Turkey who did not allow Wales have the victory. I think Wales scored too early and did not have what it takes to defend the goal because Turkey consistently maintained the pressure on the wales defense that it led to a penalty. Sad day for Wales, they were close, and that is all they can have from history. Gilbratar who suffered a massive 14 goal loss against France suffer a big defeat also against Netherlands who scored an early goal, and almost a goal every other ten  minutes of that game.

From initial theirs no day I assumed that Armenia will defeat Croatia, right from time Croatia have been taking anything concerning football very and talk less of Armenia, from the beginning of the group I knew that Armenia is going to lose the match even though they come with all their best players Croatia will definitely defeat them, If Croatia lose match against Armenia that means maybe they are not prepared or they want to sell wining to Armenia. Turkey and Wales, when you looked at the competition you will know that both team is just trying their best to defeat each both when you talk of football calculations in both team you will see that Wales was tried their best to pressure Turkey and win but they lack courage, because already Wales suppose to win Turkey in that match, shall a football is not predictable and a minute in football can give the other opponent a draw.

Wales gave tough competition to the other teams. But it was always going to be very difficult to qualify ahead of Croatia and Turkey. Anyway they still have one more chance remaining. There are a total of 12 teams taking part in the playoff round and out of that 3 are going to qualify for the main tournament in Germany. Exact composition of groups are not yet known, but we know that Wales will be placed in the same group as Poland and Estonia. 4th team is not yet known and will be one among Finland, Ukraine and Iceland. Anyway looks like Wales will be the strongest team from this group.

[SeriouslyGiveaway]

UEFA has come up with an unusual grouping system that could lead to a "group of death" scenario at Euro 2024. Following last night's matches, the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) identified the 21 teams that have secured spots in Euro 2024, including the host team Germany and the top two teams from each of the 10 groups (making a total of 20 teams). The remaining three spots will be determined through the UEFA Nations League.

What's noteworthy is that UEFA didn't seed the teams based on FIFA rankings or their performance in previous Euro finals. Instead, they introduced a peculiar seeding rule, considering teams' performances in the Euro 2024 qualifiers to determine the seedings.

This led to the reigning Euro 2020 champions Italy being pushed down to the fourth seed group because of a lackluster performance in the qualifiers. Other formidable teams in Europe, such as Croatia and the Netherlands, find themselves in the third seed group. Conversely, underdog teams like Albania have been elevated to the second seed group.

The Euro 2024 seeding groups are as follows:

Group 1: Germany, Portugal, France, Spain, Belgium, England

Group 2: Hungary, Turkey, Romania, Denmark, Albania, Austria

Group 3: Netherlands, Scotland, Croatia, Slovenia, Slovakia, Czech Republic

Group 4: Italy, Serbia, Switzerland, three playoff winners from the Nations League

With this seeding outcome, Euro 2024 might witness some challenging groups, with potentially intense matchups between England, Denmark, the Netherlands, and Italy. Similarly, formidable opponents like Croatia (Group 3), Switzerland, and Serbia (Group 4) could pose challenges to other strong European teams.

[BRINIRHA]

The draw for the EURO 2024 will take place on Saturday, December 2nd and it’ll include 4 pots with 6 teams in each , POT 1 will consist of host Germany, England, Portugal, France, Spain and Belgium, POT 2 Will include Hungary, Turkey, Denmark, Albania, Romania and Austria.

France does seem to have a solid performance, but I see that Portugal and England are the ones that I really hope can go further. Especially Portugal, which is currently filled with young players who are very high quality and are in their best performance at the clubs they are currently working at. Cr7, who is also the captain on the field, can still make a very good contribution to his national team. And only Portugal managed to win 10 matches without a draw and without defeat in the qualifying round. And currently the English national team is also worth paying attention to. Because Kane and his friends also seem to have very good chemistry this time.

Group 4: Italy, Serbia, Switzerland, three playoff winners from the Nations League

With this seeding outcome, Euro 2024 might witness some challenging groups, with potentially intense matchups between England, Denmark, the Netherlands, and Italy. Similarly, formidable opponents like Croatia (Group 3), Switzerland, and Serbia (Group 4) could pose challenges to other strong European teams.

Unbelievable with the last EURO edition winner Italy have been on weakness pot, including not impressive performance in Group stage qualifier but I don't believe with UEFA released Italy have been on the poor pot regarding they are defending EURO winner on edition 2020. Regarding finished standings as second place on Group qualifier I disagree with UEFA put Italy on very poor pot and potential will get the difficult group exactly have to face teams from favorite pot such as potential will face with Germany,  Portugal, France, Spain, Belgium, or England on Pot 1.

Regarding three playoff winner from Nation League I don't know detail which one national teams will be in the fourth pot, will any chance for teams not qualified in group stage get chance on playoff winner and will be on fourth pot?

[Sithara007]

As of now, the playoff groupings are as follows. A total of 12 teams will take part in this round, and out of them 3 are going to qualify for the main event in Germany (3 teams are yet to be grouped: Iceland, Ukraine and Finland):

Group A: Poland, Wales, Estonia + 1 more team
Group B: Israel, Bosnia and Herzegovina + 2 more teams
Group C: Georgia, Greece, Kazakhstan and Luxembourg

As per my prediction, the teams that are most probable to qualify are as follows:

Group A: Wales
Group B: Ukraine (if they get placed in Group B)
Group C: Greece

Group 4: Italy, Serbia, Switzerland, three playoff winners from the Nations League

Regarding three playoff winner from Nation League I don't know detail which one national teams will be in the fourth pot, will any chance for teams not qualified in group stage get chance on playoff winner and will be on fourth pot?

@Bobrox Italy has a long way to go and I don’t have much expectations from them because they’re not playing like they used to and one should avoid piling expectations on them. Furthermore I expect them to be knocked out early unless they can drastically improve but to be honest if in an important match they end up drawing then there’s not much hope left for them.

[Polkeins]

Out of all the 20 teams who have qualified directly to the main tournament so far, one team surprised me the most - Albania. I don't remember seeing them in any of the major UEFA or FIFA tournaments. This time they were lucky enough to be placed in a weak group along with Czech Republic, Poland, Moldova and Faroe Islands and they made maximum use out of it by topping the group. Czechia was the other team who qualified from Group E. Poland used to be a very strong team, but they finished at 3rd place.

Albania really surprised many people and came out of the group, ahead of Poland and Moldavia, but we must say that the team played well and deserved their exit from the group. I would also mention Scotland, who in a tough group with Spain managed to get out of the group. We are waiting for 3 more teams for a full set and I think Ukraine, Poland and Wales have the best chances to qualify. 

[Silence Scream]

Finally Italy success qualified to UEFA Euro 2024 in Germany after getting one points against Ukraine although on Group C qualifier current standing have the same points but Italy manage head to head and goals difference than Ukraine. Its most crucial for the winner of UEFA Euro 2020 Italy have on bad position in qualifier round but unfortunately success get on place for qualifying to Euro 2024.

So far the national teams have been qualified to Euro 2024 and still have fewest group still one match left.

• Germany as host
• Spain
• Scotland
• France
• England
• Italy
• Turkey
• Albania
• Czechia
• Belgium
• Austria
• Hungary
• Serbia
• Denmark
• Slovenia
• Romania
• Switzerland
• Portugal
• Slovakia

If miss national teams who have settle placed in Euro 2024 you can pick it below in my post

Quite a slippery result for Italy (one goal could have buried them) and I don’t think the national team’s fans are happy with Spalletti’s performance.
In fact, all the teams that qualified are known except for Group D, where Wales has a theoretical chance to overtake Croatia, but for this, Wales must beat Turkey, and Croatia cannot beat Armenia at home. I would give no more than 5% for such an event.

If we look at the results after the matches played yesterday, I see that you are right. Croatia beat Armenia 1-0. Wales, on the other hand, conceded a goal from a penalty in the match which they led 1-0 for a long time, and settled for a draw. If Croatia had lost points, I thought there was a possibility that Wales could have left the group. When Wales scored the first goal, the match against Croatia was a draw. In that case, Türkiye and Wales were out. That's what football is like. There is always excitement.

[ajanwalker]

In the formality match played yesterday, Wales and Türkiye drew 1-1 and completed the group matches. Türkiye had already guaranteed to be the leader of the group. Although Wales took a 1-0 lead in the 7th minute, Turkey made the score 1-1 with a penalty goal in the second half and the match ended 1-1.
Turkey, which defeated Germany 2-3 away in the friendly match, played bad football in the match played yesterday. I can't wait to see what he does in the finals in Germany.
