2014 FIFA World Cup qualification – UEFA second round
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The UEFA second round was contested by the best eight runners-up from the nine first-round groups from the UEFA segment of the qualification tournament for the 2014 FIFA World Cup in football. The winners – Croatia, France, Greece, and Portugal – of each of four home and away ties joined the group winners in the World Cup in Brazil. The matches, which are often referred to as 'play-offs', were held on 15 and 19 November 2013.
The draw for the ties was held in Zürich on 21 October,[1] with the October 2013 FIFA World Rankings used to decide which of the teams would be seeded.[1]
