When is the Euro 2016 play off draw?

The Republic of Ireland are not seeded for the Euro 2016 Play-offs taking place in November, following tonights results.

The ESPN FC team take a look at the Euro 2016 playoff picture now that the last games of the group stage have been completed.

They did so at the expense of Hungary who were dumped back into the play-offs where they, Ukraine, Sweden and Bosnia and Herzegovina will be seeded for the play-off game in the middle of next month, .

Albania had eventually been awarded the three points from that game but their form had tailed off since and there were off-pitch concerns about the return game, too: Ismail Morina, the man who had controlled the craft previous year, was arrested the day before the game on charges of firearm possession, perhaps conveniently moved out of the way by authorities fearing a repeat performance.

Nineteen countries qualify automatically, with 18 going through by either topping their group or finishing in second place, while one other nation – Turkey in this instance – will go to France if they end third and had the best record against the rest of the countries in their group.

Ukraine look to be about the most daunting of the possible opponents for Ireland now if only because of the hard trip that would involved in the way game. Hungary probably look about the weakest of the seeds.

Martin O’Neill’s side require wins for Croatia and Cyprus, while they also need Italy to prevent Norway from winning and for a draw between Turkey and Iceland.

Russian Federation and Slovakia both progressed as automatic qualifiers.

The streets outside the stadium that teemed with life and were lined with red and black flags (including replicas of the one that Morina flew onto the field in Belgrade) before the game were now desolate, sodden from an afternoon of torrential rain and an evening that prompted tears among a few fans.

The campaign has been a major disappointment for the Bosnians who would have been desperate to build on their first appearance at a major championship previous year.

They have a decent squad; Asmir Begovic, Miralem Pjanic and Senad Lulic all playing big parts. If that too is equal, then extra time is played.

Ireland have recent experience of clashes against the Swedes as they were our chief rivals in the last World Cup qualifying campaign, with a battling 0-0 away from home backed up by a 2-1 home defeat that all-but ended qualification hopes for Giovanni Trapattoni’s side.

Wales have Bale and Ramsey; Ireland are not so fortunate, but Michael O’Neill has somehow managed to invoke a team spirit that has seen them top Group F ahead of the Romanians.

This experienced team of seasoned performers would represent a tough nut for Ireland to crack, with the presence of former Manchester City star Edin Dzeko (below) leading their line giving them star quality. As with every team in the play-offs they have their weaknesses.

Seedings are subject to confirmation by Uefa.
