FT Croatia 0-1 Turkey - disastrous result for Wales

All but confirms that to reach Euro 2024 Wales must go through playoffs

We’ve known this was on the cards since June, tbh - the damage was done with those two defeats

If that’s the case, will FAW stick or twist with Page?

Something needs sorting, all the hard work done by previous managers is being undone

IF we win the next three matches we are ok, so not yet confirmed.

If we don’t qualify automatically we will not be in the playoffs. Germany as host nation gets one place so only 3 places left. These come from the nations league and as we were one of the worst performers we have no chance.

Not true.

Firstly, there are twelve teams in the play offs with three qualifying for the tournament. The twelve teams are split into three sections with a semi final and a final in each section - similar to what we had to do when we qualified for the World Cup.

15 teams are ahead of us in the Nations League rankings but of those 15 teams, only Czechia are not in the top two in the group. Obviously those who qualify automatically will not be in the play-offs.

So we are practically guaranteed a play-off place if we don't qualify automatically.
