Nati need a win against Ukraine on Tuesday if they are not to be relegated from Group A of the Nations League. The result no longer influences qualification for the World Cup.
With the Dutch winning against Bosnia on Sunday night, they can no longer occupy the top 10 among European nations in the FIFA world rankings. At six minutes Georginio Wijnaldum scores 1-0 for “Oranje”, at 13 minutes it is already 2-0. And so the last Swiss hopes are gone. Finally, the Netherlands win 3-1.
Only the first of the group are fixed in the World Cup
It means: We are now firmly in Pot 2 and could face top-tier players like Germany, Italy, France, Belgium, the Netherlands and England in qualifying for the World Cup in Qatar in 2022. Hopefully, the national team will will draw on 7 December in Denmark as the group leaders in Pot 1. The Danes have overtaken Germany in the FIFA world rankings and are eighth in Europe.
As a reminder, qualifying for the 2022 World Cup will be anything but a sure hit. The 10 group leaders are fixed in Qatar. The three remaining European starting places then become the runners-up in a kind of mini-tournament between them. (Wednesday W./mam)
