Per quanto riguarda l'Italia, se dovesse perdere dalla Croazia le toccherebbe la Lettonia in caso di sconfitta della Macedonia con l'Olanda. Infatti Macedonia e Lettonia si sono già incontrate e ha perso la Lettonia che quini non potrebbe affrontare una seconda volta la Macedonia. Quindi soltato in caso di improbabile sconfitta dell'Olanda ecco che l'Italia dovrebbe attendere il verdetto dell'inedito match fra Olanda e Lettonia per conoscere il proprio avversario di play-off per non scendere in C a metà settembre. Ma speriamo che l'Itaia faccia il mezzo miracolo nell'ultima giornata qui a Dubrovnik...
