A. Qualifying competition
Group formation


7.01 The teams of the host associations for the final tournament, Poland and Ukraine, qualify automatically for the final tournament. The remaining teams are drawn into 6 groups of 6 teams and 3 groups of 5 teams. The groups are formed by the UEFA administration by means of a draw, with seeded teams, on completion of the 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifying competition. The reigning European champions are always seeded. The other associations are classified on the basis of the UEFA national team coefficient ranking system (see Annex I, paragraph 1.2.1). The decisions of the UEFA administration are final.

7.02 If any of the teams in question have the same coefficient, the following criteria, relating only to the most recent qualifying competition, are determinant, in the order given:
a) UEFA national team coefficient from the matches played;
b) average goal difference;
c) average number of goals scored;
d) average number of away goals scored;
e) fair play ranking;
f) drawing of lots.

Gdje nam je ovo zeznuta grupa?
Pa nema ekipe koju ne mozemo pobijediti, ukljucujuci i Italiju, a taman smo imali SP za nauk.

sjeverna irska? da ih ne mijenjas mozda sa republikom irskom?

Treba otici u Crkvu i zapaliti svecu, zahvaliti se Bogu na svemu do sada i zamoliti ga da nam pomogne.

I da pobjedi Roma
