It's not, trying to be spain at the moment. I see that as a great style at some levels but results are what is important at this level.

There isn't a draw is there? Don't the playoff teams already know who they're playing?

found the article, Switzerland, Italy, Croatia and Denmark are seeded, then you have Northern Ireland, Republic of Ireland, Greece and Sweden.

Playoff draw is October 17th with games to be played from Nov 9th-11th and Nov 12-14.

IMO shouldn't be seeded teams in play offs , you didn't win your group should now be open draw.

Good to see the plucky Croats get a second shot after initially missing out to football powerhouse Iceland
