Does only one from each section go through? Yeah. So if NI beat Bosnia, in Bosnia, on the Thursday, they play the final against Ireland or Slovakia the following Tuesday (with the home team to be decided by a draw on Friday) Tough, but just about winnable (NI are comfortably ahead of Bosnia in the rankings, but away game makes it tough) If NI were to get through and get a home final, you'd kind of fancy them against Ireland or Slovakia. And then we'd have to disappoint MON and tell him he couldn't manage them next summer. Awkward

UEFA need to go back to the drawing board for the 2024 finals. In what respect? The format, playing across Europe. The finals should be played in 1 country only, except when the finals are hosted by neighbouring countries. Also the play offs seem a bit odd.

If NI beat Bosnia away, the game against Ireland or Slovakia would be in Belfast.
Suddenly looks a pretty good path to qualification for them

But Scotland have got unlucky and if they beat Israel, they'd be away in the final. Tough to see them doing it

They claim it was the plan all along which is absolute bollox. The reality is in tge wake of the gfc no nation was prepared to commit to hosting so they came up with this. 2024 is in Germany.

I don't think we'd have to spend much money to make a profit in England. We have more than enough venues
