FAI...New Manager Hunt continues

[ONeill]

Think 3rd into play offs. Ireland have to beat Poland?

[Pub Bore]

Frederick Nietzsche, Angela Merkel, Otto Von Bismark, Albert Einstein, Rudolf Hess, Willy Brandt, Franz Beckebauer, Maggie Thatcher can you hear me, can you hear me...

[FL/MAYO]

 A Jack Charlton special....some finish from Long!

For the last game vs Poland assuming German beat or draw with Georgia.

Ireland win - Qualify automatically
2-2 draw or higher - Qualify automatically
0-0 or 1-1 - Third place
Ireland lose - Third place

Yeah the Poles goal difference is too much. Who can we play in the playoff??

[laoislad]

Technically this means we are World Champions now doesn't it.?

[SHEEDY]

Did not expect that performance. Brilliant. 4points from the world champions, unreal!!

2.2 draw should be enough, unlikely though. Probably need a win.

[Two Hands FFS]

Any chance of finishing as one of the best 3rd placed teams??

Yes, and that we beat BRazil 8-1.

[Maroon Manc]

Small chance of finishing best 3rd placed team too, Ukraine in pole position at the moment but their last 2 games are away to Macedonia and home to Spain, their on 16 points now.

Doesn't the best 3rd place team qualify automatically?

Yes:

France qualify as hosts.
Top two in 9 groups = 18
Top ranked 3rd place team = 1
Remaining 3rd place teams in 8 groups playoff = 4

Total = 24

Total = 24

How do they calculate the top 3rd place team, with all the different size groups?

Presumably an average of points per game. Only one group of 5, Looks like Albania who are 3rd in that group couldn't catch Ireland.
