England, Italy and the Netherlands had good (and a bit surprising) wins while especially Poland and Germany were on the receiving end of it and made things a lot more difficult for themselves.

Bosnia-Herzegovina, Ukraine, Russia and Wales made sure of pot 2, while Czech Republic and Sweden recovered form their bad start in the UNL and are fighting again with Turkey and Slovakia for pot 2.

Further down Israel had two good wins to push them firmly into pot 3 at the expense of Greece. Georgia made a huge step to the final spot in pot 4 from league D with their two comfortable wins, with the help of FYR Macedonia that lost surprisingly in and to Armenia.

And then Latvia: their EURO 2004 participation surely is a long, long time ago.
