Returning to the topic question... the playoff semi-finals are almost starting.
Semi-finals – Thursday 24 March 2022
Path A
Scotland vs Ukraine (20:45 CET)
Wales vs Austria (20:45 CET)
Path B
Russia vs Poland (18:00 CET)
Sweden vs Czech Republic (20:45 CET)
Path C
Italy vs North Macedonia (20:45 CET)
Portugal vs Turkey (20:45 CET)
What are your guesses, based on the current conditions of players in these countries?
Wasn't there talk that the match between Scotland and Ukraine will be postponed due to the war in Ukraine?
What is the latest news?
Due to the elimination of Russia from the competition, Poland got more vacations and an advantage over the competition, Sweden and the Czech Republic.
Italy and Portugal should be big favorites in their first home matches and then in a match between them decide who goes to the World Cup.
In the first group because of the war and everything, I support Ukraine, but the question is what condition the players are in and how ready they are for the matches, and whether they will play at all.
