For the qualification, Wikipedia says:

“There are nine groups. Six of these groups have six teams (one each from pots 1 to 6 below); the remaining three groups consist of five
teams (one each from pots 1 to 5 below). At the conclusion of group play, the first-place team in each group qualifies, along with the
second-place team with the most points against teams ranked in the top five in the group. The remaining eight second-place teams are paired for a two game playoff, with the winner of each total goals tie qualifying for the finals. The two host countries complete the field
of sixteen teams.”

So, here are the group leaders who are qualified for the finals in 2012:

  • Belgium
  • Russia
  • Italy
  • France
  • Netherlands
  • Israel
  • Switzerland
  • Norway
  • Spain

ignoring the matches with the last placed teams, Estonia is also qualified.

Anticipation (cc-by 2.0 BXP135660)

The remaining eight “second placed” countries go into the play-offs:

  • Germany
  • Macedonia
  • Romania
  • Hungary
  • Malta
  • England
  • Iceland
  • Czech republic

Who will play against whom needs to be determined. I guess I will just draw by lot. Any other suggestions?

I think I am going to leave the UEFA procedure here because there is no such thing as home field advantage in our machtes and thus I see only little sense in doing a first and second leg match. So, they will be only 4 more qualification matches in the play-offs and they will all take place on November 15, right after FSCONS. See you then!
