What a convoluted mess
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/42719404
What the BBC fail to mention is that the seeds are seeded, so Wales will go into a group of three with one of
Sweden/Ukraine/ROI/Bosnia
&
NI/Denmark/Czech Rep/Turkey
While England will go into a group with
Germany/Portugal/Belgium/Spain
&
Poland/Iceland/Croatia/Netherlands [Post edited 23 Jan 2018 21:18]

The Jack_Kass attempt at an explanation
If you win your group, you go up to the next tier, if you come bottom, you get relegated to the lower one, if you come second then you 'survive' I guess.
If you win your group in Tier A, you go into a fancy 'Final 4 tournament' in the year between Euro's and World Cups.
Whichever tier you are in will now go forward to determining your seeds for the Euro qualifiers, which still happen
If you f**k up Euro qualifying, then each tier will have 1 team qualify for a major championship. The best 4 teams in each tier that don't qualify, will go through a playoff to win that right.
So one 'Tier D' nation, such as Andorra, Luxembourg, will have a guaranteed place at the Euro 2020 finals. [Post edited 23 Jan 2018 21:19]

Absolute nonsense.
What ever happened to a one on one knockout and without seeding which is basically fixing it for the better sides. | |

Not to mention Scotland must be tempted to 'throw games' and get themselves down to Tier 'D'.
They know they have a miniscule chance of qualifying in the traditional system (which is now just top 2 go through automatically), so have a better chance of going through a playoff with the lowest 16 ranked teams in Europe | |
