Besides Ukraine already getting used to the constantly “away” games, B&H away may be a little trouble with their fans, I think.
Bosnia lost at home to Slovakia and Luxembourg, and finished 5th (below Iceland too) in the Group.
They wouldn’t make it even in the League C path.
It’s the best draw Ukraine could have.
B&H fans even gave applause to Luxembourg NT after the loss. The fans also hate the federation for various reasons. It’s not the best chemistry between B&H NT and their fans right now
Georgia, Greece and Luxembourg all deserve to go through tbh.
Ukraine, too. Super tough group and they got robbed with that penalty shout in the last game.
Can we scrap off Path A ?
I wish lol
amazing
PERKELE
Niinpä
Christ we (Ireland) are so shit nor being able to make this. We truly are a minnow now.
I think it will be Wales/Ukraine/Greece
Hope it will be Finland/Iceland/Kazakhstan
If we don’t beat Iceland at home we might just stop playing football at all. There is a limit to how much of a bottlers we can be
Israel vs Ukraine - Battle of PTSD
Not gonna happen mate I know my country well enough to know we are definitely losing to Iceland
Bosnia too. They had the bloodiest war in Europe since WWII before Ukraine took that sad distinction.
Then there’s Iceland that’s been chilling for a thousand years. I think they had some fish war with the UK but that’s it.
Man, idk if it will happen but imagine Estonia making Euros despite having only gotten 1 point and scored 2 goals in the actual qualifiers groups. It would be hilarious, not meaning any disrespect to Wales, Poland or Finland people, after all the one point they got i think it was against Azerbaijan who then ended destroying 3-0 Sweden later on…so idk what is going to happen on Path A. Because on paper Wales should go through, or if not them, then Poland, but the fact that Finland have done quite well in their group and that Estonia with just 2 goals in the qualifier groups managed to use 1 of those to draw Azerbaijan who are capable of impressive things (as the Sweden match showed) legit Path A feels quite unpredictable.
Yeah Path A is undpredictable. I would say 50/50 between Poland and Wales, Finland also have a chance… But no way that Estonia qualifies
how did Estonia qualify for the play offs? Their record in qualifying for this event is garbage. Is this some sort of charity seed?
Nope, they did well enough in Nations league to earn their place in the playoffs on that merit
I had no idea that was a thing, thank you for clearing up my confusion.
well, kind of a charity seed. Estonia won league D in the Nations League, which doesn’t get its own playoff track, but in order for league D to have something to play for, the winner gets a slot if the higher leagues have empty spots. League A playoff track had empty slots, so they got the slot.
Very happy with this draw, even if Ukraine was in Group A I honnestly think they still had a chance, but they really must win this if they continue playing like this. I want to see them back on the big stage!
I was so happy when Ukraine was drawn into Group B. You would have destroyed Wales and then us.
Still rooting for Luxembourg, although it’s going to be bad when we inevitably lose to them in the group stage.
Gotta feel for those 3 countries the past 30 years minus Iceland lol.
Estonia at home? Will be hard, but some last minute sprint from Grosicki may do the trick. He knows some players from Ekstraklasa…
Away in Wales? Yeah, not happening.
If Greece manages to not make it that would be very impressive.
Israel vs Ukraine would have top meme potential
