FAI...June 2024 Friendlies v Hungary and Portugal

[ONeill]

Hard to believe Holland probably won't make it.

Hard to believe Holland probably won't make it.

It is not really ,  they overachieved in the last WC .  also they along with a lot of the bigger countries have lost focus.  Like it or not the Euro has been dumbed down as a sop to European countries who will find it harder to get to World Cup.

[ONeill]

But that's why it's hard to believe they probably won't make it. Platini dumbed down qualification so any shite side can make it.

[From the Bunker]

The third place teams look to be the following Turkey, Bosnia Herz, Ukraine, Slovenia, Hungary, Sweden, Croatia, Albania.

There is a mixed bag of who you'd fear to meet and who you'd like to meet. For them to be finishing 3rd in their group means they are no great shakes. But the same can be said of us?

But for the last kick of the ball equaliser for Germany v Scotland, am I right in thinking we'd be sitting above them on better head-to-head?  That would have left us winning the group should we beat Poland tonight?  For that reason alone I hate those useless  tartan twats!!

More conventional.

Hoolohan was great the other night as was the right back. Harsh on both.
