Must say i was quite sceptical of this when it was first announced but when you see sides like Gibraltar playing competitive games and winning it makes it worthwhile. They're not going to learn anything or improve by putting 11 men behind the ball and getting humped 7-0 by France or Germany.

Gibraltar's next game is against Macedonia who beat them 2-0 in the first game... If they can win that 3-0 (sadly dont see it happening) and beat Armenia they'll top the Group and be in the Play-Offs for the Euros
Providing Spain don't win tonight, a win vs Croatia on Sunday will see England make the Finals tournament in June
A Dutch win over France tomorrow would see Germany relegated whilst a draw tomorrow would pretty much see the same anyway as they'd need to beat the Netherlands about 4-0 to survive
Some turnaround in our group. Spain have completely messed it up after winning their first 2 games, and Croatia can now win the group and qualify for the finals despite not scoring in their first 2 games and having (currently) a -5 goal difference!!
Also pretty harsh that we could be relegated despite only losing 1 of our 4 games and beating Spain away!
-If Netherlands can squeeze a point against France, Germany will be all but relegated (unless the Germans beat Netherlands by four goals in the next match). -France will win the group and progress to the finals with a win or a draw.
Today in League B...
Ukraine and Bosnia are already promoted to League A. Northern Ireland are already relegated to League C.
Wales can join the promotion party with a win over Denmark today. A point for Denmark today relegates Ireland to League C.

Bosnia and Ukraine are such weird sides. Too good for group B but will get comfortably beat by any A side.

I dont think there are any teams in Group B that could realistically hold their own against the majority of Group A teams

You can put Iceland and Poland from League A in the same bracket too

Yeah I think we'll see a lot of sides yo-yoing between the top leagues although wouldnt be surprised to see some (Iceland maybe being one) who'll also flirt with Group C too

Iceland are going the other way and will play in League B.
There are three other relegations/promotions to decide between Leagues A and B.
FT 3-2
The loser would be relegated.
If the match ends a draw, Spain win the group and Croatia are relegated. England would remain in League A for the next edition.
Correction: England finish 2nd only with a 0-0 draw. A score draw would see England relegated on away goals. Thanks @stackitsteve
Head to head first tiebreaker, away goals would put Croatia above us after 0-0 in first game
England/Spain/Croatia would enter a draw on December 3rd alongside the three other group winners to determine who faces who in the semi final round.
Yes you are correct, a score draw relegates England.
England lose - relegated
0-0 draw - stay put
Score draw - relegated
Big game Sunday.
Last time we played them was World Cup Semi.
Can’t be often you’d play two important games against the same team in such a short space of time (excluding 2 leg playoffs etc)
Didn’t word my post very well.
I meant something like that. It makes sense in my head anyway
