I sure hope I got all the combinations right.

Some notes:
Only two teams have been eliminated and both of them are in the same 2010 WCQ group.
In all 4 groups a team has clinshed 1st place after only two games

Interesting, especially that four teams already secured the first place in their groups after just two rounds. I think this is a novelty in EC-history.

And yes, look at this WCQ group 2:

Greece
Switzerland
Israel
Latvia
Moldova
Luxembourg

IMO, this will be the first time Israel qualifies for WC from UEFA.
