Finland
Finland home s/f
Final home
Well that couldn't have gone much better...
Finland in the semi final, at home in the final if we win
Agreed. No excuses now.Quote:

We could have beaten them at home in Nations League but had half a team out for Ukraine play off.
The Ukranian play off was after the away fixture in Wroclaw. We were soundly beaten in the home fixture.Quote:

Our B team almost got a result out in Poland. We put out a bit of a weird side at home to Poland, I remember Levitt, Cabango and Norrington-Davies starting, it certainly wasn't our first 11Quote:

I can’t agree with that. We were the better team in Wroclaw & lost 1-0 at home, had double their shots, more possession and only 4 of the team who started against Türkiye started that game.Quote:

I accept that we were by no means at full strength and that Poland seem to have gone down hill since. Hopefully Lewandowski will have another four months of age in his legs because he was the difference last time.Quote:

We could not have asked for a better draw
What are the actual dates of the games
Anyone know what the format of the games is? Decided on extra 30 mins and penalties?

I applied for two of the cheaper tickets for each matches. They were obviously oversubscribed for that price category and sent me the unsuccessful missive accordingly. However, they have tickets at a higher price and I can seemingly purchase up to 4 for each game for 200 Euros and 150 each respectively. It's first come, first served.Quote:

There were lots of tickets going around in France in 2016, at face value or thereabouts. And in 2012 in Austria.
Indeed. I forked out in advance for a ticket for Austria v Hungary between the two Wales games in SW France and wish I hadn't. They were available for 10 Euros on the street. However, I would imagine that there would be more demand in the conurbations of Germany than in that part of France.Quote:
