EURO 2012: Qualifying draw coefficients (14 September 2009)

16 September 2009

UEFA confirm the qualifying system with six groups of six teams and three of five teams. More info.
________________________

The coefficients for the EURO 2012 qualifying draw will take into account results from:

2006 World Cup (qualifiers and final tournament) - 20% of total weighting
EURO 2008 (qualifiers and final tournament) - 40% of total weighting
2010 World Cup (qualifiers) - 40% of total weighting

The draw will take place on 7 February 2010.

Click here for more info on the coefficient system.

As mentioned before, I assume UEFA will use a qualifying system with six groups of six teams and three of five teams (Poland (26680) and Ukraine (26326) - automatically qualified as hosts).

Slovakia replace Bulgaria in the 2nd pot.

  1. Esti sigur ca ai facut calculul corect?
    Vad pe un alt site european(http://www.world-results.net/uefa/ranking.html#2009) un alt punctaj si nu stiu care e corect.
    In rest,felicitari pentru munca depusa,pentru ca sunt putini care se incumeta la o activitate statistica asa minutioasa!

  2. Ultimul link de pe acea pagina e catre acest blog, deci Raoul Da Silva are incredere in mine :)

    De ce sunt diferente? Eu deja dau echipelor cele 10000 de puncte pentru infrangere, astfel incat valorile sa varieze mai putin. Raoul nu face asta.

    Multumesc pentru felicitari :)

  3. Si care este cel oficial,ca n-am gasit nicaieri un comunicat in care sa fie prezentat modul de calcul?
    Oricum speram ca Romania sa-si mentina macar locul din prezent si sa nu alunecam in grupa 3 valorica.
    Sunt suficiente 4 p,pt pastrarea locului 18,chiar in conditiile dublei victorii a Israelului?
    P.S. Cat ai fost in vacanta am studiat celalalt clasament si de aceea am fost uimit de diferentele de punctaj.

  4. Nu exista o varianta oficiala - si eu si Raoul vom avea aceleasi valori dupa meciurile de baraj.

    Modalitatea de calcul este prezentata in acest fisier pdf.

    Cat despre scenarii legate de urna a doua, poate putin mai tarziu.

  5. Multumesc de lamuriri.:)
    E corecta pozitia fata de scenariile urnelor,mai ales ca,din cate stiu,UEFA nu a prezentat un comunicat oficial referitor la sistemul de calificare,(ma refer la numarul grupelor).:)

  6. Da, nu se cunoaste inca formatul pentru preliminarii.

    Eu as spune ca e corecta, dar nu cred ca sunt foarte obiectiv :D

  7. I thought that the draw will take place only after the WC.
    I think that Israel is a strong favorite now for pot 3.

  8. This is Raoul (www.world-results.net). Just to confirm, yes, both rankings will be the same (or should be) once the qualifiers have finished. Edgar has already pointed out the different way of working things out. If you look at the group 9 teams (who have finished their qualifying group), you'll notice that the points are exactly the same in both our calculations.

  9. Amir, no, the draw for the Euro 2012 indeed takes place in February 2010, before the World Cup takes place. This gives countries many months to plan their trips that may start just one month after the World Cup has finished. In other words, if they did the draw after the World Cup finals, they would have to rush their preparations, and nobody wants that.

  11. There is a battle on the last 2 places of Pot 2.
    If we'll consider for each team only the 10,000 points for the last game, we'll get the following:

    17) Israel 27,652
    18- Slovakia 27,008
    ---------------------------
    19) Romania 26,905
    20) Finland 26,427
    21) Norway 26,210 (finished playing)
    22) Ireland 26,068
    23) Bulgaria 25,918

    A win/draw in the last game will worth 1,200 / 400 points (not including ~20additional points per goal difference).

    Last games are:
    Switzerland - Israel : crucial game for both teams
    Poland - Slovakia : crucial game for Slovakia, not important for Poland. Slovakia should win.
    Romania - Faroe Isl. : not important for both teams. Romania will probably win.
    Germany - Finland : not important for both. Germany will probably win.
    Ireland - Montenegro : not important for both. Ireland should win.
    Bulgaria - Georgia : not important for both. Bulgaria should win.

    leaving out the game between Israel/Switzerland, we'll get the following table:

    17) Slovakia 28,228
    18- Romania 28,125
    ---------------------------
    19) Israel* 27,652 - missing game
    20) Finland 26,427
    21) Norway 26,210 (finished playing)
    22) Ireland 27,288
    23) Bulgaria 27,138

    This means that only a win in Switzerland will give Israel a place in the 2nd pot. A draw will be enough only if Slovakia/Romania will not win their games.

  12. @tomer

    I think you forgot the play-offs. Ireland for instance could win both legs of the play-off and climb in the 2nd pot.

  13. @Edgar - you are 100% correct.
    I forgot the playoff games as you wrote.

    Regarding the expected results of Ireland in the playoff, as far as I see they will not be ranked, hence will get a stronger team. In that case they will probably manage to get no more than 4 points in the playoff that will probably keep them in the 3rd pot.
