Before the start of the qualifying rounds for Euro 2024, the Polish national team was the favorite for direct promotion. She was included in the dream group and had no problem defeating the Czech Republic, Albania, Moldova and the Faroe Islands. The reality turned out to be completely different. The Reds and Whites won only three out of eight games, scoring only 11 points in total. This was not enough to advance directly to the event in Germany. Their last hopes were deprived of them by a 1-1 draw with Jaroslav Silhavi’s players, and they might only watch the last Monday matches, which decided the order in the group, as spectators.

The Czechs join the Albanians and go to Euro 2024. Here is the table of the “Polish group” following the last matches
Just before the end of the qualifying round, Albania secured promotion to the Euro. Therefore, she might approach the last match as a sparring match. Especially since it was once morest the Faroe Islands. Ultimately, the match did not impress and ended in a goalless draw.
It was still unknown which team would take second place in the table and directly advance to the Euro. This was to be decided by the direct match between the Czechs and the Moldovans. The first team was in a better situation. She was in second place with 12 points. All she needed to qualify for the tournament was a draw. Therefore, there was more pressure on Moldova, which the team ultimately might not bear.
Silhavi’s players were more active and created more dangerous actions in front of the opponents’ goal. The efforts paid off already in the 14th minute, when David Doudera put the ball into the net. In the second half, Tomas Chory increased the score to 2-0. The final blow was dealt by Tomas Soucek.
Thus, the Czech national team won 3-0 and took second place in group E. It was our southern neighbors, together with Albania, that advanced to Euro 2024. Poland ultimately finished the competition in third place. Moldova was fourth, and the Faroe Islands, which failed to win the qualifying round, were fifth. However, they recorded two draws, which should also be considered a success.
