Just looking at that, eight of the groups don't commence until next month so it would seem possible that we could still slip out of the top seeds on GD?Quote:

yeah, we might do actually. If you look at the draw for the last set of qualifiers - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_U...on#Elite_round - 9 points from the first round wasn't enough for quite a few teams, and some of them had a better goal difference than +6. We can't face the Dutch again, which is another positive.Quote:

Spain failing to win later on would help (as long as they don't lose by 4+).Quote:

Rumours Leicester and Wolves are interested in Ali Reghba (Bohemians)

It's not looking too promising for us holding on to our top seed status for this. There are two rounds of games played in the remaining groups and they will be concluded tomorrow. There are currently six group leaders on maximum points. If more than two of the following win their remaining match we will drop down to second seeds:
Scotland (GD +6 - last match v a poor looking Sweden side)
England (GD +6 - last match v Turkey)
France (GD +8 - last match v Belgium)
Greece (GD +6 - last match v Bulgaria)
Israel (GD +4) and Czech Rep (GD +2) can also overtake us but they would need to win by multiple goals against Georgia and Croatia respectively.
Our GD was +6.

Belgium and France drew 2-2 - https://www.uefa.com/under19/season=...865/index.html - so France finish on seven points
England and Turkey have just kicked off, most of the rest of the day's games aren't starting until one

Still 0-0 into the 2nd half.
Greece and Bulgaria scoreless approaching ht.
Interesting situation in the Greek group....If Romania are 5 up on the Gibralterans at ht. If they can get another three, and Greece beat Bulgaria by 1, Romania will qualify as a best runner up.
Georgia winning against Israel. Turks just hit the post v England, and need to win by 2 to qualify themselves, but that looks unlikely.

Turkey 1 up on England, about 15 minutes left
Actually, if Turkey get one more....
Final score?
France drew, England lost, Greece won, Israel drew and Scotland drew
We are top seeds.
That's great. Was sure England would win and probably France. We should be okay now.
1-0 Sickmen. They top the group.Quote:

Ryan Johansson is playing for Luxembourg against Macedonia.
Do the top seeds get home advantage?
