Finland avoids France and England in the qualifiers, who are in the same basket.
Screamers taival In the League of Nations it was difficult at times, but in the end the stars were aligned. Finland is the best group winner in B-level and gets into the second draw basket when the qualifying groups are drawn for the European Championship in Germany in 2024.
When determining the B-level group runners-up, games against the fourth-placed team in the group are excluded in those groups with four teams. This is how it works because there were only three teams in one group when Russia was shut down.
Finland got only one point from Romania, which finished last in the group, so the impact on Finland was small. Finland had seven points left in the comparison.
In the other groups, the runners-up took more points from the jumbos, causing their score to fall below Finland. Ukraine dropped from 11 points to six, Iceland collected four points in the three-team group and Norway dropped from ten points to four.
The second basket means that in the same group as Finland there is only one clearly tougher team, which comes from the first basket. When the countries in the second basket are drawn into different groups, Finland avoids, for example, France and England in the qualifiers.
There will be no easy ground from the triple basket either. There are, for example, Norway and Sweden, as well as Romania, which proved to be difficult for Finland in the League of Nations.
The European Championship groups will be drawn on October 9.
