Luka Ivanušec can take a holiday; his country Croatia is definitely eliminated after tonight. Croatia finished third in the group with just two points, and today’s results mean the Croatians are ready for the European Championship.
The four best numbers three also qualify for the eighth finals of the European Championship, but with two meager points it is certain that Croatia will not be among them before the end of the group stage. There are already four groups in which the number three has achieved more points than Croatia.
The Netherlands (4 points), Slovenia (3) and Hungary (3) have already finished and are certainly above the Croatians, while in group E – which includes Belgium, Romania, Slovakia and Ukraine – all teams are already on three after two matches. points. It is therefore certain that the number three in group E will finish higher than Croatia.
However, what is still important for the Netherlands and therefore Geertruida and Bijlow is how the matches in groups E and F will go tomorrow. Depending on those results, the Netherlands will play against England or against the group winner of group E: Belgium, Slovakia, Ukraine or Romania.
