Are teams separated by H2H or goal difference?

Will definitely be watching the Spain game tonight instead of the Rooney game. Draw would be perfect, confident we can beat Croatia on Sunday. Would be a pretty big achievement to top this group.

What happens to the teams that finish 2nd?

Nothing I don't think. Don't play in the finals next year and don't get relagated, pretty boring.

Sorry for the late reply. It is H2H.

So just making up the numbers by the end of it

Second doesn't get you a lot. However seeding for Euro 20 qualifiers are based on league positions.
Also, if you fail to qualify for Euro 20 through the qualifiers then you could get a second chance via the Nations League positions. The highest placed teams in each league not qualified go into play-offs, with one team from each league gaining a place at Euro 20.

Been a big success in my opinion.

Interesting that Lukaku is the top scorer

Agreed, it makes the international break far less painful than it would have been otherwise.

I agree. Some good, competitive games at the top end. Some competitive football, and rare successes, at the bottom end.

As far as I can make out, if Croatia and Spain draw and England beat Croatia, then England win the group on away goals.

If Spain win tonight, then Croatia beat England, England are relegated on H2H.

Those seem to be the permutations if points are level in Englands group.

Been a success apart from every game being on Sky...

Going to ROI v NI this evening. Last game before we unite the clans

Good for the smaller teams to play competitive games against each other. Could help them long term to develop players and tactics that aren't just about damage limitation.

Been following the Luxembourg story with interest. Biggest game in their history tonight. Win and they qualify for the play-offs, pretty amazing for a country that didn't win for a decade not so long ago.

Don't really think the Luxembourg story is that much of a big deal or significant when compared to say Kosovo.

Luxembourg have improved greatly over the last decade and have beaten several mid level european sides in recent years including Greece, N Ireland, Hungary and Slovakia.

Kosovo are pretty decent tbf, and have a good pool of players.
Gibraltar winning twice is the real big shock for me, tbh.

Yeah Kosovo are obviously better than their first Qualifying campaign showed but the fact they have only been about for 4-5 years makes this pretty awesome for them.

And yeah Gibraltar beating Armenia in Armenia is quite an upset, many better sides have gone there and failed.
