    3. Denmark
    4. Armenia
    5. Cyprus
    6. Macedonia
    
    Remember where you heard it first :-)
    
    Are there any well-known club teams in Armenia and Macedonia ? It's
    pretty hard to guess about their capabilty. I'm really curious.

342.3third seeds as favourites????UPROAR::LEMPLive slow, die youngMon Jan 24 1994 12:259
    How did Belgium get into the third-seed category? If it's based on
    recent performances *only* then I think it's a mistake by UEFA. As .2
    predicts, the Belgians are easily good enough to win the group. I bet
    Spain and Denmark are seriously pissed-off as the Belgians themselves
    will be. It makes all their tasks more difficult. In which seed-group
    were Belgium placed for the World Cup?

rep -1

It's based on the results in the last two (not sure) European Championships,
Belgium missed out on both so there it is. It might be stupid but the same 
thing happens in the World Cup so ......

342.67 Shopping days left, and not one present bought !GENIE::BOLGERFunny Scotty,now beam down my clothes!Thu Dec 15 1994 16:4911
    I'm in inquisitive mood. Can anyone give me the answers to the
    following :
    
    a) Why do Denamrk have to qualify, given that they are the holders ?
    
    b) With 8 groups and England pre-qualified, does this mean that only
    the top team from the group with 5 teams (Switzerland, Sweden, Turkey,
    ?, ?) qualify, or will there be more than 16 teams qualifying ?
    
    
    Confused.
342.7GENIE::GOODEJMr Dragon - 761 4831Fri Dec 16 1994 07:2415
    
    a) Denmark have to qualify because they hadn't enough money to buy
    their place like England. 8-)
    
    b) From the 8 groups, 15 teams qualify as follows:
    
    		All first placed teams automatically qualify.
    		Best 6 2nd placed teams automatically qualify.
                Remaining 2 2nd placed teams play off for the last place.
    
    		Wales will qualify......
    		.....by inciting an uprising in Moldovia which spills over
    		into neighbouring Georgia, Bulgaria & Albania. Then we just
    		have to win the play-off game against Ireland! 8-)
                                                                  
342.8Belgium - Spain 2-0!!BIS5::PALMKE::roosenFri Dec 16 1994 07:525
Belgium - Spain will be played tomorrow at 20.30 local time. Everyone gives Spain 
favorit, but me thinks we will spank the Spaniards.

    re .6
    
    Could it be that Denmark, who had failed to qualify last time out, came
    on at the last minute as substitutes for Yugoslavia and in true David
    Fairclough fashion, stole the honours?

    Re:.6
    Jerry,
    Unlike the WC,the holders don't qualify automatically.
    
    I don't know the reason behind this.Perhaps someone could enlighten
    us as to why this doesn't happen.

    spain and denmark drew 1-1 but they had both already qualified
342.15Spain qualifiedTPLAB::ROOSELEERSRooseleers Jo 856 7918Thu Oct 12 1995 10:2317
    �     spain and denmark drew 1-1 but they had both already qualified
    
    Not really true: 
    1. Spain needed at least 1 point to be sure to be first in the group and
    automatically qualified.
    
    2. Denmark needed at least 1 point to become one of the better seconds
    
    Knowing this, the second half looked like the Germany - Austria game
    (WC 82 in Spain) with two teams just passing the ball amongst eachother
    and making no attempt at all to score.
    
    Very sad for the match and the spectators...
    
    This was a very weak group with only one team making a chance in
    Euro '96.
