Top team qualifies and then the top 8 second place teams play off (working out the top eight isn’t easy because in big groups you have to discount the results against the worse teams….I’m an expert).
Wales had Russia and Germany in our group btw…..How does that work??

Update:

England 5-1 Croatia
Scotland 0-1 Netherlands
Northern Ireland 0-2 Slovakia
Wales 1-3 Russia

Not a good night for any of us.
