The EL doomed Netherlands. Rennes: 4-0-1 Marseille: 3-2-0 Toulouse: 2-2-1 vs Ajax: 0-2-3 France already had a numerican advantage in this competition, so Ajax being terrible while even Toulouse does well for France doomed the Dutch. EL always used to be the Dutch area. France used to underperform i...

The model also indicates that falling down the leagues can be positive. Belgium did start quite poorly this season, but they are one of the biggest 'winners' in this model.

Dnipro-1 has 8.000 while the tables show 6.000

Thanks for letting me know. I'll be sure to keep that in mind for Monday

What is the reason the Dutch #3 / Cup Winner is not in the Europa League play-offs in this document, but already in the group stage?

I watched the AZ-Anderlecht match yesterday. AZ were the better team by some distance in this leg and deserved to go through. If I was a fan I would have been disappointed with only 2 goals in the first half, despite the really good play more should have been scored. I was beginning to think UEFA h...

Only if they win every match.

The difference between the 'top countries' and the rest seems too big. Looks like we have to wait for the quaterfinals to get close matchups.

So after:
1974 (second group stage, round before the final) - Netherlands
1978 (final) - Argentina
1998 (quaterfinal) - Netherlands
2006 (group stage) - draw
2014 (semi-final) - Argentina after penalties
2022 (quaterfinal)

It is The Netherlands turn again.

Just as an aside here the equivalent expression for this in England is "better a bird in the hand than two in the bush"

In Dutch it is "Better to have one bird in the hand than ten in the sky"

Will the British matches be played?

Does anyone know the TV-pairings and does anyone kwow the statistical probabilities to face an opponent?

Draw will be at 18.00 CEST (25-8) in Istanbul.

Just like in Wales, Netherlands score immediately after the equaliser from Wales in the 92nd minute.

Yeah, in august we will already know whether The Netherlands might actually be able to attack France and withhold Portugal. FC Twente and Vitesse or AZ (they play this afternoom) together have to survive 5 qualifying rounds. Last year Vitesse elimnated the seeded Anderlecht. FC Twente won't be seede...

Heracles Almelo were 8 points ahead of place 16 (play-offs for promotion/relegation) with 3 games to go, 12th in the table. Now they are relegated.

Who will get the last place in Belgium if AA Gent wins the Play-offs (b)? Will there be a match between the second placed team and Antwerp?
