Ukraine will qualify with a win over Italy, Italy just need to avoid defeat (both on 13 points). Whichever doesn’t qualify directly, will enter the nation’s league playoff.

Group E Moldova and Czech Republic can still qualify

Czech Republic v Moldova, 20th November 19:45 GMT, Andruv Stadion Olomouc

    Czechia-Moldova game brings me back to 2001, when Bulgaria was in a similar situation - we were travelling to Prague for a final group fixture. We needed a win to make it to the playoffs, CzechRep would do with a draw. Czech were favorites with Nedved, Poborsky, Baros but we had a moderately strong team, with emerging Berbatov, Martin and Stilian Petrov, and legend Balakov as a playmaker. People were excited and making comparisons with our epic win against France in 1993.

    Czechia won 6-0.

    Czechia youth team beat BG youth team 8-1.

    In France, we’ll have a simulcast tonight. So, I’ll be able to watch the three games at the same time. I can’t wait for the kickoff. Imagine Moldova and/or Kazakhstan qualify tonight.
