DesiScotsman Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 (edited) When are the playoffs due to be drawn? Before or after the Euro draw in December? Obviously I’d imagine the games will be getting played in March next year when it’s the next international break after November.

There is not a draw per-se..... there will be a draw to see who gets home advantage in final, but I believe its down to rankings (hence we knew initially we were playing Finland in Glasgow, but then morphed into Israel after Finland did not have a need for the play off's).

Ahh ok. I was thinking it was quite similar to the World Cup one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I think its already been confirmed that Finland have been assured a play off spot taking our place in the play off's as we have no need for it now.

Caledonian Craig Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Slightly off-topicbut does anyone have an idea of kick-off times for nextt summer? I am presuming there will be one afternoon slot (4.40pm or thereabouts) and evening kick-off (8pm or thereabouts). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its 3 games per day for the first set of fixtures (last round games will kick off side by side), and I think its (local time) 3pm, 6pm and 9pm kick off's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only kick off times they've announced are the opening game (Germany v ?) 9pm local (8pm BST) and the semi-finals and final which are the same.

DesiScotsman Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 (edited) Euro 24 playoffs about to kick off soon starting with Georgia vs Luxembourg - 5pm kick off Then a choice of games kicking off tonight at 7:45pm to choose from: Bosnia vs Ukraine Greece vs Kazakhstan Israel vs Iceland Poland vs Estonia Wales vs Finland Feels good to just be sitting back & relaxed whilst watching these games unfold without any nerves kicking in. I remember how nervous and eventually gutted I was when we got papped out by Ukraine in the World Cup playoff or watching the Irish in the Euro 2016 playoffs with envy having just massively messed up qualification for France in the final few group games.

Ally Bongo Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 I wouldn't judge Wales on their win against Finland Think they will struggle to beat Poland who will be desperate to get to Germany Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Black Bra Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 Would rather not see Georgia get through after their horrible antics against us last year, in front of their own fans in what was pretty much a dead game I think. Correct me if I’m wrong, but have Wales had home advantage in all these play-offs purely from luck of the draw? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am thankful that our Serbia away game was in an empty stadium. Who knows the outcome with thousands of baying Serbs there. J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have Slovakia v Playoff B (Ukraine or Iceland). So much less tasty. Would love for Iceland to get through, their fans look good craic. Ukraine, meh, world football darlings. I think they’ve had enough exposure. Plus still annoyed about that WC playoff where we never in a million years were going to win.

The Black Bra Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 I had thought that Wales days of success were numbered with the demise of Bale, Ramsey, etc., but they actually look like they still have a half decent team with some good youngsters. I’m going to watch the Poland game on Tuesday so I’ll get a better look. Still hope Poland beat them, either comfortably or something agonising!

Sure the Dortmund police are willing Georgia on in the playoff. 😀 Turkey V Greece in Germany with big immigrant Turkish and Greek populations. Tasty could be underestimating the situation.
