Tough group but then you look at the others and I think we might just about beat the Danes and possibly Ireland, we owe the Irish one anyway after the WC qual disaster.

Group 2 looks tasty with Russia, Sweden and Turkey

Will be lucky to come 3rd! even Giggs face looked doomed!

Nice trip to Dublin and Copenhagen though

Thats a hard group.
Denmark are a very good side at the moment.
The plus side is if we finish 3rd we get relegated to pot c next tournament and would have a easier route for the next tournament

Don't get it

Plus fact still have a qualifying group to come later for euro 2020

How are Holland still top seeds? Haven’t qualified last two tournaments.

Martyn, thats what I want to know?

Just pre booked Dublin hotel £89 for the Tuesday night for two of us, get free cancellation up until 15 October and pay at hotel. Parnell hotel and also managed Copenhagen hostel two nights for £140 for two of us same deal.

Get booking before they raise the prices

Martyn, thats what I want to know?

You play both teams home and away.

The team who finishes top will play a finals tournament against the other 3 group winners in each pot.

The winner of that tournament will qualify for the euros.

The team who finishes bottom will be relegated to the next group in the following campaign giving them a better chance of qualifying.

In theory teams are better off finishing third than second as it will guarantee a much easier route to a tournament the following campaign. If you cant win a group mathematically you are better off making sure you finish bottom.

Surely that makes it a farce?

Yep
But if you cant make the finals tournament by topping the group.
Would you rather try to finish second and risk playing the likes of Denmark and Sweden in the following campaign or would you try to finish
Bottom and play Albania and lithuania ???

Some groups like you said will end up being a farce

This competition will be held every two years, so the tournament following this one will not have Euro qualifying places at stake as it precedes a World Cup instead. So deliberate relegation won't have immediate benefits..... i think!

No its every 4 years.
In the odd years when there is no euro qualifying a final tournament will take place between the winners of each pot to determine a nations league champion

2018 qualifying for euro 2020
Finals tournament in 2020
Qualifying starts again 2022 for euro 2024

Sorry you are right it is every two years as a tournament. I thought the final tournament were held in the odd years

Either way you would still want to finish third even if it is a non euro qualifying year.

I doubt teams will be deliberately coming bottom

wouldnt losing all these games effect a nations World Cup seeding though..?

I’d like to watch Wales more but since they’ve gone to a member only ticketing scheme I can’t seem to ever get hold of any tickets

Just pre booked Dublin hotel £89 for the Tuesday night for two of us, get free cancellation up until 15 October and pay at hotel. Parnell hotel and also managed Copenhagen hostel two nights for £140 for two of us same deal.
