Quick question, why is Kazakhstan part of UEFA?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

A very tiny portion of it is in Europe similar to Turkey. Also all the Soviet Republic’s were given the choice to join UEFA. Kazakhstan initially joined AFC but switched in 2002.

As a Norwegian, these playoffs are so unfair. We finished above Georgia in the qualifier yet they get the chance to qualify through playoff, while we lost our playoff spot because Russia got kicked out and our wins against Sweden suddenly didn't count.

Kvara misses the Georgia-Luxemburg game due to suspension. Will be a close one

Inshallah Luxembourg will destroy it's opponents

So fucking bad lol. It's like you can take those 4 NTs and you still are not able to even make a proper 11.

My least favorite footballs fans are people like you. Same type of person to say that Luton and sheffield are a disgrace of football for being in the premier league and it should become 18 teams now

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Anyone but Greece. Not because I dislike them it would be great to see a new nation, I hope Georgia make it if they were an independent country in the 70's,80's they probably would have qualified

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Luxembourg will qualify

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

I grew up in Luxembourg and played football there, i never thought there would be any chance to see them in a Euro in my lifetime. Rooting hard for them, they have a chance!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

I'm rooting for Greece but I think it sucks that it's either them or Kazakhstan. I think Kazakhstan earned it too and would deserve to be there.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Georgia probably a lock here. They had harder opposition than the others in qualifiers and played well at times

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

And teams like Sweden doesnt even quality hahaha

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

tbf if the playoffs were determined by the 3rd places, 3/4 of these teams would still make it

Kvaratskhelia is comfortably the best player here but I don’t know if he’ll be able to carry Georgia past Greece.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

he is suspended for the semifinal against Luxembourg

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Unfortunately, Kvara will be serving suspension against Luxembourg due to yellow cards picked up during qualifiers

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Rooting for Georgia just to see Kvaradona at the Euros.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

That's a very competitive path, and the winner would be a deserving participant:

Kazakhstan had a shot at Slovenia to qualify outright.
Greece was robbed at home against the Netherlands and played France closely at the Stade de France.
Georgia drew with Norway and with Scotland and plays Abernathy adventurous football.
Luxembourg beat Bosnia home and away, beat Iceland, and drew with Slovakia.

I think that Greece is a favorite, but not by much.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

To be fair idk how much of a feat beating our current national team really is 😅

Im legit shocked we could still qualify because we do not deserve it at all

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Is there a Path D too?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Can anyone comment on the Kazakh team? How worried should the Greeks be

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Why is Kazakhstan in euro? Isn’t it in Asia?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Also a small part of Kazakhstan is in Europe, and that part is bigger than half of the countries.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

people might be shocked but my bet is going to Luxembourg

they finished 3rd place above Iceland and Bosnia, beating them both and apart from the games against Portugal they were competitive in every single qualification game

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Lets go lluxembourgian brothers

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

🇬🇷🇬🇷

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

I really hope Luxembourg make it, super cool team to watch

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

From these playoffs id like to see Luxembourg, Bosnia and Estonia (Estonia has no chance they scored less goals than San Marino)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Personally, I want georgia to make it. Greece have history at the Euros but georgia and kazakhstan don't. The kazakhs don't have the same star power as georgia with kvara so georgia it is for me.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Love to see Luxembourg make it

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

I would love a Luxembourg vs Kazakhstan final.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Let's go Luxembourg!! 🇱🇺

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Luxembourg better make it,Hope greece loses because i really want a new debut in the euro.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Greece winning it all again twenty years on?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Would have been spicy as fuck if we had failed to qualify directly from the group stage and had to through this route. A Turkey vs. Greece final would have been wild lol

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

and the match would have been scheduled at the 25th of March weekend, most likely in AEK's Agia Sophia stadium.

Sad we missed some proper Balkan moments
