There was an interesting comment from the France U17 coach after round 1 about the lack of games for those generations. " this is a France youth team that had not played any game at all in two seasons at U15 and U16 level. Most of the teams we have played in Round 1 had managed to play friendlies. In our first game, we played Sweden and it was the first ever international game for my players. They were a bit surprised by the intensity even if we warned them beforehand." U19 draw news: The round 2 draw will be held at 15:00 CET on 9 December, with the seven League A group winners in the spring joining the Czech Republic in the finals from 27 June to 9 July 2022. There will also be promotion and relegation between Leagues A and B ahead of round 1 for the 2022/23 edition. Seedings for the round 2 draw will be determined by the positions in which each team finished in round 1.
Checked up the Swedish F17 (that is Women U17), it was their first international game at home. But they played 4 as U15 in 2019, two against Finland in Finland (lost both) and two against Norway in Norway (one loss and one tied), none as U16 in 2020 and two against Finland in September this year (one loss and one tied). Thank heavens for good neighbours.

I see Norway is hosting this group in Stavanger and Sandnes. New results this weekend: Sweden 2, Serbia 1 Norway 12, Romania 0 The last set of matches on Wednesday will be exciting. Norway v Sweden Serbia v Romania
Yes Group 3 and 6 might both end up with three teams on 6 points. Actually in Group 6, England are already out even if they beat Croatia and Poland beat France.
Germany needed a win against Austria. They were 0:2 down and had a player sent off but scored three goals in five minutes.
group A6 France - Poland (livestream) Croatia - England France 6p 7-1 England 3p 2-2 Poland 3p 5-1 Croatia 0p 0-10
France have qualified after beating Poland 6-1 and top the group with 9 points. England beat Croatia 8-0, but were already out.
Right now in Group 3 Norway 1 Sweden 0 and Romania 0 Serbia 2. Three teams with 6 points. Serbia are currently through because all 3 teams have a 0 goal difference in the head to head to head games, but Serbia is 4-4 Norway is 3-3 and Sweden 2-2 overall.
Norway 2-0 up and now in first place with 10 minutes to go. If Sweden score one, goal difference for Norway goes back to 0 for all three teams with goals scored 4-4 like Serbia 4-4 and Sweden 3-3. And in that case Serbia is through as they beat Norway head to head.
