Northern Ireland – the shape of the team and its analysis:
“The Green and Whites” rarely made it to such forums in any age group. So the young players are far from being perfect, and they haven’t won at all after 2022. Still, the current tournament is being held in Belfast and Larne, so the pass to it is automatic.
As for the control matches, the future hosts of the Euro only lost. And they, having played 2 friendly matches with the Slovaks, reduced to a draw in June.
Ukraine – the shape of the team and its analysis:
“The Yellow and Blues” even became champions at one time – that happened at the “home” championship in 2009. Now the team managed to qualify quite confidently. The Ukrainians were beaten with a 0-4 score by Kosovo, but they had defeated Malta (3-1) before that and scored 4 unanswered goals in the battle against the Slovaks in the decisive match – that was enough to go to the next round.
The team surprised everyone by winning 3 times with a total score of 8-0 in the spring. First, Mykhaylenko’s wards coped with the outsiders of the quartet, North Macedonia and Latvia. And then, they defeated Switzerland in a head-on dispute for 1st place (and the only ticket to the Euro) – 3-0.
