FAI...June 2024 Friendlies v Hungary and Portugal

[Canalman]

I dunno if qualification would be anything to get excited about TBH.

You'd rather be there than not there.

Not necessarily after Poland/ Ukraine in 2012  tbh.

Preferred the Euros with the 16 team format.

Surprised to see Russia and Holland struggling to qualify.

Only if you like singing, really.  Dunnes will sell more t-shirts but football wise they'll be very challenged by mediocre teams
even if St Wes is playing

absolutely!

some people are very depressing!! lets try and get there anyway and see what happens. we are playing at least a bit better now than when we were under Trapattoni!
technically we didnt win a game of football during our 1990 world cup campaign and got to a quarter final narrowly beaten by Italy.
now i know i know, lads will be jumping down my throat to say this team isn't a patch on the 1990 team etc. but anything can happen! cant get much worse than the last time we qualified!!
have a bit of hope rather than depressing everyone!!

Something tells me second seeds don't have a great record in the playoffs. I think playing your home game second when u know what is needed is a major advantage

Holland 0-2 down at home... They won't be at Euros,  Croatia in a seeded group then... They'd be handy enough

[stew]

I hope the Republic get there and are in the same group as the wee six, it will fix once and for all were my loyalties lie and force me to choose, especially if they met in one of the first two games.

I have no gra for the republic and never lived a second of my life there, that said I never miss a game and hope they always win.

One last thing, Robbie Keane is the single most important player the republic of Ireland ever had, period, end of.

Very poor group performance by Holland.

[Jell 0 Biafra]

Italy equalized.  As it stands now, Croatia qualify automatically and Norway into the playoffs.

[Jell 0 Biafra]

Holy Jaysis.  Hungary into the playoffs, Turkey in automatically.

[clarshack]

Does Cyprus losing mean we are unseeded for the playoffs?

[laoislad]

So are we unseeded or not?

[JPGJOHNNYG]

Not seeded we will have ukraine sweden denmark or bosnia. Not too scared of any of them to be honest probably happier with denmark or bosnia though

[BennyCake]

Turkey and Croatia qualify. That rules out drawing either. Would've been very tough.

As it stands, Sweden is toughest. Wouldn't fancy a trip to Ukraine though. Anyone else is beatable.

[SHEEDY]

will play one of ukraine, bosnia, sweden or hungary, not denmark.

[Cunny Funt]

Hard to believe Netherlands are already out while Wales,Northern Ireland,Iceland are through to next summers European championship.
