How is A/C/D decided?

[nugent]

This is bollox. I'm off to bed. I still say we get northern Ireland tho

[welshyoot]

Alright. I give in. ITV have just said Norn Ireland or France.So we need a shock tomorrow night to avoid Turkey. Having said that we can definitely beat the Turks.

I think they said N.I play either Wales or France.

[Richyrich]

So basically we play Turkey if they qualify. If not then N.I. ?

Yeah, If Sweden or ROI win then knock Turkey out, so we play NI. If not it's Turkey.

Yes but no but yes

[Richyrich]

Me too. We also need Portugal not to lose as you've already noted. Unfortunately I reckon we've got Turkey :-( Bloody typical as if they'd just won by 1 goal we'd have been playing Albania instead...

Sickner really mate, glad you were here.

I originally thought it was the best placed team from either group A,C or D but it seems that is not how it is worked out. Go by the table posted earlier and the possible permutations should make sense. We won't know which 4 groups contain the best 3rd place teams until tomorrows groups are finished but we do know we can discount any combinations which don't contain groups B or C as Slovakia and N. Ireland have definitely qualified as 3rd place teams.

Look down the column that says WB plays and there is only possible combination (BCEF) that would result in Wales meeting N. Ireland (3C).

This link might explain it more ....... or just confuse people more

Right, let me get this straight. Teams definitely through -

Slovakia - B
N Ireland - C

Albania and Turkey through if Sweden, Portugal and Rep Ireland all lose tomorrow night?

[Penarth Blues]

Sickner really mate, glad you were here.

Looking ahead even further we really want SWE to beat BEL, so that if we got to the quarter final then we would be playing either SWE or (most likely) HUN/POR. That would mean WAL v NI next round, then hopefully HUN in the quarters...

Yep.

WOW, C'mon Sweden!!!!

[Pearcey3]

So its Albania, Northern Ireland or Turkey?

Nope Norn Ireland or Turkey but much more likely to be Turkey.

AUT also need to lose/draw for ALB and TUR to progress, which seems unlikely but possible. IF that happened then the top 4 3rd placed teams would be ABCD and we'd still play TUR

[Richyrich]

So its Albania, Northern Ireland or Turkey?

Albania not possible.

[Richyrich]

Nope Norn Ireland or Turkey but much more likely to be Turkey.

Soz Pearcey, was getting stressed.

[Toast Boy]

N Ireland - C

Albania and Turkey through if Sweden, Portugal and Rep Ireland all lose tomorrow night?

Yes - Quite possible too i think though Portugal will probably get a result to see them through.

[Des Parrot]

currently:Slovakia (B) & NI (C) have qualified.
Turkey (D) rank 3rd on goals scored
Albania (A) 4th

We cannot therefore meet Albania.

We will meet Turkey under all criteria except if both group E & F displace them. Only in this case will we meet N.Ire.

[Charlie]

Nope Norn Ireland or Turkey but much more likely to be Turkey.

Ah feck it, i'll wait till tomorrow. Too complicated for me.

Bookies will be well happy with that. I'd say most group winner accies were down the toilet and so will predicting the two finalists bets.

[El Gwapo]

The Mirror and Telegraph insist we play from group A,C or D only
