The redeeming goal against Ireland in the 93. Minute thank: The Swiss national team in the last two Games against Georgia (Friday, kick-off 2045 CET) and Gibraltar (Monday, 20.45) four points to qualify for the European championship. Because the 2:0 means that Switzerland (11 points) in the case of equality of points with Denmark and Ireland (both 12 points, Ireland has played a game more), the better goal difference as one of the two competitors has. And it is even possible that the Switzerland of the participants is already on Friday evening as the Euro. If Gibraltar scores in Denmark. And Switzerland, Georgia, fails.

Even in the case of a surprising defeat in the EM-final sprint could be the Switzerland to participate at the final tournament in the coming year. There are, in fact, a scenario in which Switzerland only need a single point to progress: If the Danes beat on the last round Ireland, they are group winners. Then Switzerland would only be a point with 12 counters, you would have the same number as the Irish, but even in this scenario, the better goal difference of the direct encounters. Even if the task seems to be against the two weakest teams in the group is simple, said Captain light Steiner at the press conference in St. Gallen: “Such games are always extremely dangerous, because they look easy on paper.

The other way is via the Nations League Playoffs

to be awarded But also, if it should not succeed Switzerland in the top Two of group D, there is still hope on the EM: In March of next year, namely in the Nations League again for four Tickets for the final round. Then 16 teams, not yet qualified to play in four Playoff paths from each of the four Teams for the remaining places. The Play-off path three matches in the K. o.-System to be played, two semi-finals and a Final. The determination of the 16 teams that must play in the Play-offs to determine the four to be awarded start spots for the European championship finals, is relatively complicated.

Since Switzerland had won their group in the Nations League A, she would be on for sure in the Playoffs for the European championship and then would have to be in the knockout stage of the semi-final and Final win. The semi-finals will be decided in just one game over 90 minutes (two Times 15 minutes of extra-time and penalty shoot-out). Home in the semi – final of the Nations League better-ranked team-the home will be drawn for the Final play. From the looks of it currently, would be the possible Swiss opponents, Iceland, Bulgaria, Israel and Romania.
