2014 FIFA World Cup qualification – UEFA Group B

Football tournament qualification stage

The 2014 FIFA World Cup qualification UEFA Group B was a UEFA qualifying group for the 2014 FIFA World Cup. The group comprised Italy, Denmark, Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Armenia and Malta.

Armenia vs Bulgaria

The group winners, Italy, qualified directly for the 2014 FIFA World Cup. Denmark finished runners-up but were ranked as the poorest of the nine group runners-up and so did not advance to the play-offs.

Standings

  1. Most importantly, make sure the score is FINAL! Don't update based on games that are still ongoing.
  2. Update the record of BOTH TEAMS, not just the winner or the team you support.
  3. Update EVERY COLUMN, not just Pts, in particular GF, GA, and GD (errors will be hard to detect).
  4. Make sure the teams are in the correct new positions (in particular, make sure teams with the same number of points are ranked correctly based on the tiebreakers of the tournament). If in any doubt, check with standings from official websites (such as FIFA.com) or reliable sources. --{{#invoke:sports table|main|style=WDL

Denmark was ranked as the worst runner-up among all nine groups (having scored fewer points than the other eight) and so they failed to advance to the play-offs.

Matches

The match schedule was determined at a meeting in Prague, Czech Republic, on 28 November 2011.
