Great stuff from the ladies and well worth their play-off place.
Sadly the play-off (next April) is two-legged which makes it an
even tougher challenge. Not sure when the draw is, I think I
read there are rearranged games in other groups in February so
they may not know til then.

Yep, remaining Group games to be played on 21 February 2021,
with the draw following soon after I imagine, in time for the
play-offs to be played 05-13 April 2021. [05 April is Easter
Monday, btw, though not in Orthodox Ukraine and Russia, where
it's 26 April]
To date, the following have now definitely qualified as Group
Winners:
Netherlands
Denmark
Norway
Spain
Sweden
France
Belgium
Germany (8)
+
Iceland (guaranteed one of best 3 x Runners-Up)
+
One of Finland or Portugal - still to play each other, with one
qualifying automatically for topping the Group and the other
assured of a P/O at least, maybe even qualifying as top 3
Runner-Up?
+
One or two of Austria/Italy/Russia/Finland/Portugal claiming the
2nd and 3rd Best Runners-Up places
Which leaves Ukraine, Czech Rep and NI definitely filling 3 of
the 6 play-off slots.
Getting there! [emoji106]

Magnificent achievement by the squad to reach the play-offs. To
reach the finals after a 2-legged play-off might be a step too
far - but dare to dream! :)

NI are currently ranked 55th in the world with FIFA. So beating
Faroes (86th) was to be expected. But I hadn't realised Belarus
were just above us at 53=, with Wales higher again at 34.
While Scotland (21st) and ROI (31st) didn't make the Play-Offs
either:

And having seen it for myself in Wales, the team really has an
exceptional spirit and togetherness. [emoji106]

Well done to the ladies. It might be a step too far in the play
offs but I'm sure they will give a hell of a good go.

Enjoyed watching the game yesterday. Good performance in the end
after the shock of going a goal down.
Will be interesting to see who they get in the playoffs

Russia and Ukraine are definitely also in the play offs.
Probably to be joined by Portugal, Switzerland and Czechia.
Other possibilities are Finland, Poland and Spain (who can all
still qualify as group winners), while Austria and Italy may be
pipped as best runners up.
