Great, as Expected
Netherlands - only team to win all 8 matches
France - won seven straight games after losing opening match to Bulgaria
Norway - did enough to clinch qualification with a few games to spare
Italy - took care of business and cruised to top of the group
Romania - had clinched qualification with two games to spare
Exceeded Expectations
Wales - managed to qualify out of a challenging group
Georgia - were a dominant team in Winning Eleven, but not so much anymore. But they managed to win their group!
Hungary - Went toe-to-toe with both Spain and England the entire way. Only missed out due to goal difference.
Bulgaria - qualified out of a tough group and were the only team to beat France
Lithuania - beat out both Poland and Croatia to qualify
Northern Ireland - were competitive the entire way, but needed to beat France on the last matchday and were not able to (also needed Russia to beat Bulgaria, which did not happen either)
Questionable Performances
Spain & England - at the half way mark, Iceland and Hungary were the top two teams in their group. These two eventually turned it around and qualified, but it was a lot closer than it should have been. One (more) slip up and Hungary would have qualified instead.
Germany - needed to win on the last matchday or Albania would have qualified instead (beat Slovenia 2-0)
Sweden - picked as group favorites, but struggled through group. Needed Italy to beat Austria on last matchday or they would not have qualified (Italy won 2-0)
Portugal - needed to win against already-qualified Romania on last matchday and were trailing 1-0 at half time, but managed to win 5-1 somehow - this after needing a win against Slovakia the previous game to stay alive and barely pulling out a 2-1 victory
Huge disappointments
Denmark - just one win (and 3 draws), were in last place the whole way
Czech Republic - lost their first four games, then won 3 of their last 4; if they hadn't started so poorly they would have qualified
Montenegro - like Czechs, lost their first four games, but only managed to win 2 overall
Slovenia - had just 1 point with 2 games to go, finally beat Bosnia-Herzegovina as their only win
Croatia - expected to contend for first place in their group, ended up in last place
