• EURO 24 play off Qualifiers

    From Binder Dundat@21:1/5 to All on Thu Mar 14 20:10:15 2024
    This next international break is not just for fun friendlies, there are
    still some teams in Europe that have not qualified for Euro 24. If I am
    not mistake I think 48 countries now qualify, which is essentially all
    of Europe, hell they are even adding Asian teams now to the tournament,
    cus there just are not enough teams in the tournament.

    I dont know how these teams made it to this qualifying stage, I think it
    has something to do with Nations leagues and qualifying groups and being
    nice to your parents. Anyhow these matches are for the final 3
    countries. I think?


    Path A

    Semi-finals
    Poland vs Estonia
    Wales vs Finland
    Final
    Wales or Finland vs Poland or Estonia

    Path B

    Semi-finals
    Israel vs Iceland
    Bosnia and Herzegovina vs Ukraine
    Final
    Bosnia and Herzegovina or Ukraine vs Israel or Iceland

    Path C

    Semi-finals
    Georgia vs Luxembourg
    Greece vs Kazakhstan
    Final
    Georgia or Luxembourg vs Greece or Kazakhstan

    If you ask me the friendlies Germany are playing look more interesting
    than these matches. They play France and the Dutch.

    In the end my Polski Ogorski mistress is happy, not that she cares that
    much about football. Wales v Polski

    Path B

    Semi-finals
    Israel  vs      Iceland
    Bosnia and Herzegovina      vs Ukraine
    Final
    Bosnia and Herzegovina or Ukraine     vs     Israel or Iceland
    I felt sorry for Ukrania yet happy that Israel do not go through. Yet i
    will be attacked for that. Israel has no Business in the sporting world,
    just as Russia and really, I dont want them in UEFA.

    Path C

    Semi-finals
    Georgia      vs      Luxembourg
    Greece      vs      Kazakhstan
    Final
    Georgia or Luxembourg     vs    Greece or Kazakhstan

    Luxumburgo was the Cinderella team, but the reality is they are a 4th
    tier team.


    I am happy for the Greeks

    Some late goals, two of which changed things, Ukrania comes back and is

    scored, the hottest teams are Poland, Greece, Wales and Iceland

    Winners go through

    If this turns out to be rubbish just bear in mind these were the two worst UEFA teams in World Cup 2022.

    So I watch extra time on Viaplay, the match goes to penalties. Then ticker tape across the bottom of the screen: To continue watching Georgia - Greece switch to the Viaplay Player (the match had overrun into the slot reserved for Wales - Poland).

    I load up the Viaplay Player and select Georgia - Greece in anticipation of the penalty shootout...........and they're showing the build up to Wales - Poland instead!

    Why do I pay Viaplay good money? WHY?!?!

    Anyway, Georgia won on penalties. So no Turkey - Greece showdown at Euro 2024. And lots of people who speculated on Turkey v Play Off Winner C tickets because they thought they might make money from it being Turkey - Greece probably just lost some money.

    They are playing in Poland and have come back and lead 2-1 with 10 mins

    FT Wales 0 - Poland 0.

    I told you this was Eurocrotto!

    Only thing I would say is where is VAR when you need it? Wales with a level looking goal before half time and a clear push on Moore in the penalty area in injury time but no reviews? Yet in so many other games they fall over themselves to rule out a goal
    because someoene's toenail was marginally offside.


    Meanwhile we are Projecting Austria to win EURO 24

    lol just seen the result, 6-1! Congratulations Werner!

    ANd Ukrania are through to EURO 24, we like these kinda stories. Of
    course 0-0 between Wales and Poland.

    Meanwhile Germany actually win? If this German team is beating the
    likes of France and Holland, then this cup is anyones.

    #GERNED, probably should have switched to #ENGBEL

    Iceland leading Ukrania 1-0 HT in wherever Ukrania are playing home
    matches.

    They are playing in Poland and have come back and lead 2-1 with 10 mins left.  Still 0-0 in Wales

    Meanwhile we are Projecting Austria to win EURO 24



    It is kinda bad, I am gonna forgo watching until the 0-0 at full time
    and switch to #GERNED, it is already 1-1.

    If this turns out to be rubbish just bear in mind these were the
    two worst UEFA teams in World Cup 2022.
    This is the Eurocrotto final.

    It is 0-0 at the half, of course. I did actually switch over to
    #GERNED, probably should have switched to #ENGBEL

    They are playing in Poland and have come back and lead 2-1 with 10
    mins left.  Still 0-0 in Wales


    FT Wales 0 - Poland 0.

    I told you this was Eurocrotto!

    Still 0-0. Niether team look like scoring. You would think with
    Lewandowski, that Poland have the advantage, but this looks like it is
    going to PENALS

    15 mins left



    Only thing I would say is where is VAR when you need it? Wales with a
    level looking goal before half time and a clear push on Moore in the
    penalty area in injury time but no reviews? Yet in so many other games
    they fall over themselves to rule out a goal because someoene's toenail
    was marginally offside.

    Meanwhile we are Projecting Austria to win EURO 24

    lol just seen the result, 6-1! Congratulations Werner!

    0-0 going to Penals.  We are Projecting a maximum of 68% of PKs will be converted.

    And this just proves that Xg and all those stupid stats they use today
    mean nothing.

    90% of PK were converted and Poland join Ukrania and Georigia.

    Poland win 5-4 on penalties.

    I thought Wales were marginally better on the night, but who are we kidding, had they got through they don't have the quality to have made an impact at the Euros.

    Mind you, neither do Poland!

    Which really underlines the point - if the playoffs are sending the likes of Georgia and Poland through is the Euros too big a tournament? Will they really add quality? Was it better as a 16 team tournament?

    Good that we will get to see some interesting talent at the Euros like Kvaratskhelia, as well as old fox Lewandowski. Too bad that we will miss out on Albert Gudmnundsson, who is proving to be one of the most interesting talents in Serie A this year (26
    years old so not super young, but still interesting)

    Possibly yes. But don't forget:

    2016:

    Albania 1-0 Romania
    Wales 2-1 Slovakia
    Russia 0-3 Wales
    N. Ireland 2-0 Ukraine
    Italy 0-1 Republic of Ireland
    Portugal 1-1 Iceland
    Iceland 1-1 Hungary
    Iceland 2-1 Austria
    Wales 3-1 Belgium
    Iceland 2-1 England

    2020

    Wales 2-1 Turkey
    Wales 1-1 Switzerland
    Denmark 0-1 Finland
    Spain 1-1 Poland
    Hungary 1-1 France
    Hungary 2-2 Germany
    Switzerland 3-3 France (win on pens

    And half the quarter finalists not being who many would have picked
    before the tournament.


    If history has shown anything at all, it is that we at RSS are not
    particularly good at identifying eurocrotti before the fact, or even at deciding who is the most crotto of them all.

    Well, at least instead of 26-year-old Guðmundsson we now get 26-year old Dovbyk who plays a similar role in La Liga.
