&lt;p&gt;I haven&amp;#39;t seen anything about the requirement for Covid tests etc. I am expecting it to be the same conditions as for the Riverside with home lateral flow tests being accepted but given that we are only a week away from the tournament starting it would be good to get some clarity.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>A lot of fans Booing the knee tonight</title><link>https://englandsupporters.thefa.com/members/57726286/activities?ActivityMessageID=1dc2b6a6-6c53-4ace-b178-5ac1ae1e0c28</link><pubDate>Wed, 02 Jun 2021 20:03:50 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">f1678d54-7961-455b-b530-0c815cc5fbdf:1dc2b6a6-6c53-4ace-b178-5ac1ae1e0c28</guid><dc:creator>55385917</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Anyone else think the FA need to drop this gesture for the Euros.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We Have Tickets for you!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When I log in it shows me the three England group games with a few different options, only Cat 1 for Croatia, a few different cats for the other 2 games.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I am reluctant to pay for these as I have gone through the FA to be put on the waiting list and don&amp;#39;t want it to affect my chances through the FA but my question is...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Fa must now know how many tickets they&amp;#39;ve been able to secure if UEFA are already offering me some and when are we likely to hear from the FA, as I would&amp;#39;ve expected they&amp;#39;d have notified us before UEFA...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Coaches from the north west for Euro 2020</title><link>https://englandsupporters.thefa.com/members/55663263/activities?ActivityMessageID=28c37d9e-0384-4f90-a9ec-1ccec5512761</link><pubDate>Mon, 30 Dec 2019 09:56:27 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">f1678d54-7961-455b-b530-0c815cc5fbdf:28c37d9e-0384-4f90-a9ec-1ccec5512761</guid><dc:creator>55056538</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;I will be attending all games at Wembley for Euro 2020.

The draw for the play-offs and the main draw will not be straightforward. There will be decisions which may make you scratch your head and wonder why they did that. This note is intended to explain how the draws will work.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;The Play-offs&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The teams in the play-offs, listed in order of their Nations League rankings, are :-&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" style="width:100%;"&gt;&lt;colgroup&gt;&lt;col width="51*" /&gt; &lt;col width="51*" /&gt; &lt;col width="51*" /&gt; &lt;col width="51*" /&gt; &lt;col width="51*" /&gt; &lt;/colgroup&gt;

&lt;/td&gt;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;b&gt;League C&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td width="20%"&gt;

&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;

&lt;/td&gt;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td width="20%"&gt;
&lt;p align="center"&gt;Bosnia &amp;amp; H&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td width="20%"&gt;
&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Scotland&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Norway&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="center"&gt;Serbia&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;Kosovo&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="center"&gt;Belarus&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr valign="top"&gt;
&lt;td width="20%"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Not Group Winners&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td width="20%"&gt;
&lt;p align="center"&gt;Iceland&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td width="20%"&gt;
&lt;p align="center"&gt;Slovakia&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Rep Ireland&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="center"&gt;N. Ireland&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td width="20%"&gt;
&lt;p align="center"&gt;Bulgaria&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="center"&gt;Israel&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Hungary&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Romania&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td width="20%"&gt;
&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The countries shown in &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;red&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; are Euro 2020 host countries.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The play-offs are drawn in reverse order : D, C, B, A. The rules are :-&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:30px;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;a. A group winner cannot form a path with a team from a higher-ranked league in the overall UEFA Nations League rankings.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:30px;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;b. If four or more teams from a league enter the play-offs, a path with four teams from the league in question must be formed.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:30px;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;c. Additional conditions may be applied, subject to approval by the UEFA Executive Committee, including seeding principles and the possibility of final tournament host associations having to be drawn into different paths.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Once the 4 teams in each play-off are determined, the semi-final pairings are 1 v 4 and 2 v 3 based on their positions in the Nations League rankings. These are single-legged ties hosted by the first named team. For each play-off path, there will be a random draw to see which semi-final will provide the hosts for the final, which is also a single-legged tie.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Play-off D&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As there are exactly 4 teams qualified for the play-offs, there is no need for a draw. The pairings are&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Georgia v Belarus&lt;br /&gt;North Macedonia v Kosovo&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Play-off C&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The 3 Nations League group winners must be in this play-off &amp;ndash; Rule (a).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;UEFA would also like to keep all host countries apart in the play-offs &amp;ndash; Rule (c). But, with 4 host countries in the play-offs, this is not possible. I am expecting that UEFA will leave 2 host countries in the League C play-offs : Scotland plus either Hungary or Romania. The other host country would be moved to a higher League. &lt;span style="color:#00cc00;"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;This is not definite&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; : UEFA could move both Hungary and Romania to a higher League. If UEFA only move one of them then the play-offs will be&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Scotland v Hungary or Romania&lt;br /&gt;Norway v Serbia&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Play-off B&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As there are exactly 4 teams qualified for the play-offs, a pathway must be formed from League B teams &amp;ndash; Rule (b).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Bosnia &amp;amp; Herzegovina v N. Ireland&lt;br /&gt;Slovakia v Rep Ireland&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Play-off A&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There is no draw as there are only 4 remaining teams. The pairings are&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Iceland v Hungary or Romania&lt;br /&gt;Bulgaria v Israel&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;The Main Euro 2020 Draw&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Play-off C&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Play-off D&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The countries shown in &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;red&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; are the teams which could be drawn into Group D, England&amp;#39;s group.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Some of the teams must be placed into certain groups. These are indicated below. Teams which are not placed in groups will be drawn into groups at random.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Pot 1&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A - must be Italy as a host country&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;D - must be England as a host country&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;E - must be Spain as a host country&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;F - must be Germany as a host country&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;C - must be Ukraine as they cannot be placed in Group B with Russia (prohibited clash/venue)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;B - must be Belgium as they&amp;#39;re the only country left&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Pot 2&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;B - must be Russia as a host country&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;C - must be Netherlands as a host country&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Pot 3&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;B - must be Denmark as a host country&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Pot 4&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I am assuming in these notes that the League C play-offs will have 2 host countries.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;F or C - will include the play-off A place marker, depending on whether Hungary or Romania are in the League A play-off.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;E - will include the play-off B place marker because Rep Ireland are in the League B play-off.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The play-off C place marker will be in either Group D (because Scotland are in the League C play-off) or F/C, depending on whether Hungary or Romania are also in this play-off. Whichever group doesn&amp;#39;t get the play-off C place marker will get the play-off D place marker instead : this is so that they can be swapped next April if the &amp;ldquo;wrong&amp;rdquo; team wins the Nations League C play-off.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Win box tickets to England v Slovenia</title><link>https://englandsupporters.thefa.com/members/58604926/activities?ActivityMessageID=7acee309-ea19-4694-8425-9cdcbc04b239</link><pubDate>Tue, 12 Sep 2017 22:17:02 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">f1678d54-7961-455b-b530-0c815cc5fbdf:7acee309-ea19-4694-8425-9cdcbc04b239</guid><dc:creator /><description /></item><item><title>Win box tickets to England v Slovakia</title><link>https://englandsupporters.thefa.com/members/58685580/activities?ActivityMessageID=930b6f63-78ed-4097-9c79-f1bb6f299502</link><pubDate>Thu, 03 Aug 2017 16:24:06 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">f1678d54-7961-455b-b530-0c815cc5fbdf:930b6f63-78ed-4097-9c79-f1bb6f299502</guid><dc:creator /><description>Who fancies watching England v Slovakia from the luxury of a Wembley Stadium executive box with food and drink provided? </description></item></channel></rss>
