Dunno why they bother lumping the best team in the world in with this group stage nonsense.
Should just state that it's England v ___________ in the final and let the rest battle it out for the opportunity to be the 2nd best team in Europe.

NYON, Switzerland (Reuters) - UEFA is to introduce a new-look playoff system for its 2022 World Cup qualifying competition which will avoid the need to compare results of teams in different groups.
UEFA said the 55 teams, who will be battling for 13 places at the tournament in Qatar, will be divided into 10 groups.
The 10 group winners will qualify directly for the World Cup while the runners-up will go into the playoffs along with two more teams from the 2020-21 Nations League.
Those 12 teams will then be divided into three paths, with a one-leg semi-final and a one-leg final in each path to decide the remaining three European finalists.
In the qualifiers for the 2018 World Cup, there were nine groups where the winners qualified directly and the eight best runners-up went into four two-leg playoffs.

Faroe Islands Vs Scotland 2-2 - ShrimperZone.Com
Faroes v Scotland
A real conversation from a phone-in on Talk Sport radio after Scotland's draw with the Faroe Islands.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Presenter: We have Jim on the line who wants to discuss Faroes vs Scotland.
Jim: Thanks... eh yeah. Just want to say it's an absolute disgrace. I mean we were playing the weakest side in world football and we can't do better then a draw.
Presenter: It was a poor result...
Jim: Poor result?? It's absolutely scandalous! The manager has lost the plot completely, he has to go. I know we have never set the world alight over the years on the international stage but I can't remember things being this bad. It's the end for us. The absolute end. We are the laughing stock of world football.
Presenter: Look Jim, I know it looks bad but there is still a long way to go, admittedly there does not seem much chance of you qualifying for 2004 but things will improve.
Jim: I never expected to qualify and don't mind that so much as we are not good enough... but to fail to beat a team like Scotland is a different matter and a real massive blow to everyone on the island.
