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.

Final opponents (for Wales or Finland) will be either Poland or Estonia.

I didn't watch or see the options but surely wouldn't poland be the highest ranked team out of all the play offs?

Yes but in our pool they were unavoidable so to have the chance of a home tie is good news.

We were already in the same "path" because the qualifying was based on Nations League ranking, so we couldn't avoid them.

It’s not relevant in this case but current FIFA rankings
22. Ukraine
28. Wales
31. Poland

Re: Euro 2024 Play Off Draw. Live from 11
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.

As good as it could have been I’d say. Playing like we did against Croatia we make the Euros, if Armenia Wales turn up, forget it.

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 11
Poland aren't in great form, lost away to Moldova and Albania in qualifying

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.

I agree we performed well away with a scratch team. At home we did not look like winning against a side with 6 of their starters in their last competitive match. 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.

Finland’s away record in qualifying, won 3 lost 2. They beat N.Ireland 1-0, San Marino 2-1 & Kazakstan 1-0 and lost to Denmark 3-1 & Slovenia 3-0.

Re: Euro 2024 Play Off Draw. Live from 11
We could not have asked for a better draw

Re: Euro 2024 Play Off Draw. Live from 11
What are the actual dates of the games

Re: Euro 2024 Play Off Draw. Live from 11
Anyone know what the format of the games is? Decided on extra 30 mins and penalties?

Exactly. Extra time and pens.
FAW will sell tickets for two games. If Wales win v Finland they play the final against the winners of Poland v Estonia. If Wales lose their semi final they will play the losers of Poland v Estonia is a friendly that no one wants.
Games to be played on Thurs March 21st and Tues March 26th

After being unsuccessful in the Euro ticket draw, I have just been offered the two batches of tickets I applied for. What a pity that my plans have changed and that I am heading over there a week later....

Group stage draw is next month so we'd know where we would play at that point

Re: Euro 2024 Play Off Draw. Live from 11
On a more serious point TBG, how did that work?. You applied, were rejected, but they have now come back and offered some up after all? I applied for a load as did my son and we got nothing.

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.

Really odd as I actually applied for tickets for the first week in those higher price categories, and my son went for the cheaper categories. Mine were in Berlin, Hamburg and Leipzig. Maybe yours were in other parts?

Indeed. Gelsenkirchen and Düsseldorf, in and near the Ruhrpott respectively. You would have thought there was more deman there than in Leipzig.

I also got the offer of the two expensive ticket brackets earlier, after initially being unsuccessful for the two cheaper brackets, in Dusseldorf & Cologne. I'm not willing to pay those prices though.
We'll be heading over without tickets and just hope to pick some up in the days before the games. Great if we do get some, but no biggie if we don't as it will still be a blast.
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.

Yep. it's a strange one. Like Copenhagen above, I'll probably just go and take my chances. I'm sure there will be plenty floating about in the pubs :hehe:

Is there any way he could not have? :shrug:
If there is I want some of it for my whole body!! :hehe:
