Groups and Standings


Qualifying and Play-offs

The nine group winners qualify directly for the finals and the eight runners-up with the best record against the teams finishing first, third, fourth and fifth in their section going into the play-offs.

The eight teams will be drawn into four pairings for two-legged ties played from 15 to 19 November 2013. If scores are level after the second leg the team with the most away goals qualify, whether after 90 minutes or extra time. The four winners qualify for the finals.

So what if....

England win tonight

England would be odds-on to finish top and effectively assured of at least a play-off place. If Ukraine lose tonight at home to Poland, England would qualify, barring a home defeat against Poland next week by around six or seven goals. If Ukraine draw, England would probably qualify even if they were to lose to Poland next week. If Ukraine win, England will almost certainly need to beat Poland to finish top.

England draw tonight

A runners-up spot would be most likely. If Ukraine win tonight, England would probably need to beat Poland just to secure second place. If Ukraine draw, England could expect to win the group with victory over Poland yet finish only third with a draw or defeat.

England lose tonight

England would probably finish third, unless Ukraine fail to beat Poland tonight. England could still finish top by beating Poland if the Poles win or draw in Ukraine while Montenegro fail to beat Moldova at home on Tuesday.

There was just the one on the pitch. The ones in the stand before the game looked quite good. Security is good at Wembley so I guess they had them stuffed down their pants. One fan did manage to got on the pitch in the second half.

The Polish fans were a jolly lot and lot of drink was flowing before the game. Their scarf waving is very impressive. It's a shame that our support never manages to get anywhere near the level of noise they make and the band verges on the pathetic. It would be amazing to have a Wembley crowd drown out the opposition but sadly it will never happen.
 
Teams for the play-offs are:

Croatia, Sweden, Romania, Iceland, Portugal, Greece, Ukraine and France.

The draw will be on 21st October, play-offs to be on 15th and 19th November. England will have two friendlies at Wembley which will be announced shortly. These look to be against Australia and Germany.
