I would have preferred Majri instead of Dufour who's a bit exhausted at the end of this season.

That's how Euro pots would look now(based on current standings and assuming better placed teams win play-offs): Pot 1: Switzerland, Spain, Germany, France Pot 2: Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, Sweden Pot 3: Austria, Iceland, England, Italy Pot 4: Belgium, Finland, Czech Republic, Republic of Ireland
u forgot Portugal. Of course it will depend of the draw for the second match of the playoff. But Portugal is stronger than Finland, Czech rep and rep of Irland, Poland... And not sure Belgium and switzeland are much stronger ....
I said "assuming better placed teams win play-offs". I didn't forgot Portugal but before we know the draw I think every team that will be in the seeded pot for second play-off round will have a better chance to qualify than Portugal.
Hungary beat Switzerland 1-0, a bit unexpected result, allthough Hungary seems to have more and more players in decent clubs
Pot 1: Switzerland, Spain, Germany, France Pot 2: Netherlands, Sweden, Iceland, Denmark Pot 3: Norway, England, Italy, Austria Pot 4: Belgium, Finland, Czech Republic, Republic of Ireland
I was looking at the current standings in the "table" for the play-offs and something caught my eye. The table is available on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UEFA_Women's_Euro_2025_qualifying#Play-offs As things stand, Portugal from the B3 (League B, Group 3) would qualify for the play-offs as the seeded team while Bosnia-Herzegovina from the same group would qualify as the unseeded team meaning that they could technically face each other in the play-offs this autumn. Is that true? Obviously things probably won't stay like this after the final matchday but is there any scenario where teams from the same League B group could face each other again in the play-offs with one being the seeded one and the other being the unseeded one? I'm quite confused..
The rules are as follows: Article 27 Match system - play-offs for the final tournament 27.01 At the conclusion of the league stage of the European Qualifiers phase, two rounds of play-offs are used to qualify teams for the UEFA Women’s EURO 2025. 27.02 In principle, the round 1 play-offs are played in two paths as follows: The four third-placed teams and four fourth-placed teams of League A play against the five first-placed teams and three best-ranked second-placed teams of League C in path 1. The four first-placed teams and two best second-placed teams in League B play against the two remaining second-placed teams and four third-placed teams of League B in path 2. 27.03 The following principles apply to the draw for round 1 of the play-offs: The ties are determined by means of a draw. The teams from League A are seeded for the path 1 draw and the first-placed and two best second-placed League B teams are seeded for the path 2 draw and will play their respective second-leg match at home. Additional draw conditions may be applied, subject to approval by the UEFA Women's Football Committee. 27.04 The winners of the round 1 play-offs qualify for the round 2 play-offs.
