Automatic Euro 2024 qualification now at an end as the draw for the finals now moves into view.
England are already in the hat despite a frustrating draw with North Macedonia that followed a dour win over Malta as Gareth Southgate looks to finalise his squad for next summer.
Germany will host the Euros and have therefore already qualified while giants such as France, Portugal and Spain have also booked their flights.
The Netherlands have also now qualified after beating the Republic of Ireland in Amsterdam. with Italy following after a goalless draw with Ukraine on Monday. Sweden and Norway are both out - meaning no major tournament again for Erling Haaland.
Romania are also qualified after their 2-1 comeback win over Israel on Saturday, so too Switzerland despite their draw with Kosovo. Croatia have also qualified.
Of the home nations, Scotland have made it but both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland have failed to reach Euro 2024 via their qualification groups, while Wales will be relying on the play-offs after their draw with Turkey.
The draw will take place in Hamburg on Saturday December 2, 2023, starting at 5pm GMT.

They will be split into three groups of four teams, with a place at Euro 2024 available to the nation that wins each of those paths.
