Compared to the simulations before the start of the UNL it can be seen that France, Switzerland, Belgium, Portugal and Spain all cemented their pot 1 spot. Iceland was the only one to throw their pot 1 chances down the gutter.
Further down Ukraine and Bosnia-Herzegovina cemented their pot 2 spot with good wins while Sweden had a bad, unexpected result against Turkey that could well make them drop to pot 3.

Bulgaria are firmly on their way to a pot 3 spot, while Georgia and FYR Macedonia made good progress to the last pot 4 spot from League D.
