There are 16 knockout places up for grabs from the six groups at Euro 2020
Calculators, abucases and Excel documents at the ready folks, it's time to dive into the labyrinthine complexities of Euro 2020 knockout round qualification. Actually it's not that complicated but anything more than the top two going through can feel like an exercise in unnecessary confusion when the games are coming at you as thick and fast as they do at the European Championships. 1 A Switzerland 3 1 1 1 -1 4 2 F Portugal 2 1 01 +1 3 3 C Ukraine 3 1 02 -1 3 4 B Finland 3 1 02 -2 3 5 E Spain 2 02 002 6 D Croatia 2 01 1 -1 1 Before Euro 2016 UEFA decided to expand the competition to 24 teams, split into six groups of four. Unfortunately that format does not a simple passage to the knockout rounds make, so in addition to the top two from each of the groups an additional four teams, who finished third in their group with the best record, will be added to bring up the numbers. Half of the groups have completed their fixtures which means the equation for qualification is becoming clearer. Let's dive into the groups and work out what's what.More Related News
