Status Playoffs

Matches cancelled as UEFA decided to extend Class A to 21 teams, meaning Scotland, FR Yugoslavia, Poland and Hungary are promoted automatically. Belgium were additionally promoted, apparently as best runners-up, due to England receiving a bye to the 2005 European championship, which they will host.
