in pot 2 for 2024 euro qualifying, they must qualify then
Guaranteed a play off spot too. It seems to me it’s much more beneficial to be in Group B over Group A
:thumbup: As a Scot I will take anything , we are normally bottom of the group or missing out in the last minute for anything that is going .:hehe::hehe:Quote:

They seem to have gone from having 0 quality to having quite a decent pool of players to pick from.
Seems like this makes our achievement in getting to league A seem less good

Without that Ukraine game we might have got something out of Poland over the 2 games.
We are last of all the Group A teams, so a very slim chance of a play off spot that way. However, we are still pot 2 for 2024 qualifiers. A decent draw and we could easily finish top 2 which is a direct ticket to Germany.
So if i understand it right...Quote:

If we don't finish in the top 2 we need all but 4 of the league A teams to automatically qualify to then get a playoff spot. Germany are hosts so they don't count.
So we need a minimum of 11 out of the following teams to qualify automatically:
Netherlands, Croatia, Spain, Italy, Denmark, Portugal, Belgium, Hungary, Switzerland, Poland, France, Austria, Czechia and England
Of those teams the first 10 will be trying to qualify from pot 1 and France, Austria, Czech England and Us will be in pot 2
