Although England should qualify in the top spot from Group A for the finals, the slip-up in Prague could still have serious consequences for manager Gareth Southgate and his team.
They are no longer guaranteed one of the six top seedings if they win all of their remaining games and could even face the prospect of being placed in the same group as world champions France or Belgium, who are one of the tournament’s favorites.
England’s nightmare scenario would be to miss out on a top seeding and be drawn from pot two in a group with either France or Belgium and Portugal, who could find themselves in pot three if they fail to beat Ukraine on Monday night.
The six top-seed places go to the countries that finish top of their qualifying groups with the best records. Belgium, Italy, and Spain all have 100 percent records, while Ukraine has not lost a game but host Portugal next.
The final two Euro 2020 seeds are likely to be contested by England, who face Bulgaria in Sofia on Monday night, Holland or Germany and Turkey or France.
Should teams finish top of their groups with identical records then the final top seeds will be determined by goal difference. England currently has a plus 14 goal difference, ahead of France (plus 13), Turkey (plus five), Holland (plus 11) and Germany (plus 11).
After traveling to Bulgaria, England
After traveling to Bulgaria, England complete their qualifying next month with a home game against Montenegro and a trip to Kosovo, who are still competing for second place in Group A and scored three goals against Southgate’s side at Southampton’s St Mary’s Stadium
Failure to win all of their remaining three games would almost certainly result in England missing out on one of the six top seeds when the finals draw is made on November 30, but three victories may still not be enough.
The situation will further infuriate Southgate, who only last month warned of the need for his team to finish qualifying with a 100 percent record.
Writing in the matchday programmed ahead of last month’s game against Bulgaria at Wembley, Southgate said: “The seeding for Euro 2020 will be decided by your record in the qualifying campaign, so every game is important. If you look at the other groups, there are some teams with a 100 percent record, but we really have to take it a step at a time.”

Goalline technology will be used at Euro 2016 and in the knockout stages of the Champions League from next season, UEFA has announced. The executive committee of European football’s governing body voted in favour of the change on Friday. Successful adoption by European leagues, plus instances of goals being wrongly disallowed at recent major tournaments, are believed to have swung the decision in favour of technology. The provider is still to be determined.
Both the Germany-based Goal Control system – which was used at the 2014 World Cup – and Britain’s Hawkeye are widely used by European leagues. The use of goalline technology has long been a contentious topic among UEFA executives. President Michel Platini, who is currently suspended, was a vocal opponent for many years, but subsequently softened his stance to allow a review of its potential use at Euro 2016.
England have been involved in two high-profile instances of goals being disallowed at recent major finals. Frank Lampard was denied a goal in the last-16 clash with Germany at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, while co-hosts Ukraine had an equalising goal disallowed in the group stage match against England at Euro 2012.
