Well they can decide on that in time, does depend how long it goes on for and at present we have no idea.

European Championship Qualifying

Antonio Conte just scored an overhead kick, something I did not expect to see. It was not a particularly good one and he also looks about 45.

Largely horrible, apart from the final.

Credit to the Sweaties, I suppose.
Reports I've read say it was a turgid game, but now just one game from a major tournament for the first time this millennium.
Their penalty shoot out record now stands at 100%. 1 from 1.
I also read it was the first time they've required extra time since 1961! I presume that must've been a qualifier too as they've famously never made it out of a group stage in WCs or Euros.

They did put us through the ringer losing a 90th minute equaliser.
Half expected Mitrovic's penalty to be retaken.

That must be the most back door qualification for a major tournament ever (Denmark 92 perhaps). Fully deserved on the night though.

How is qualifying through a designated route backdoor?

(North) Macedonia's probably tops it by virtue of the faintly nutty system that guaranteed one of the sixteen turdest teams would qualify.
Although Wales taking Africa and Asia's qualifying spot for the 1958 World Cup is more than a little backdoorish too.
Essentially every African and Asian country withdrew except Israel in protest at something or other Israel had or hadn't done and FIFA decided no team (except the holders and hosts) could qualify without playing at least one game.
Wales were selected from the teams who'd failed to qualify (presumably so they wouldn't feel left out; England, Scotland and Northern Ireland all having qualified) and duly bested the Israelis in a play off.

They then made the quarters and never shut up about it since
