The Euro 2016 qualifiers thread

[Super_horns]

Well means the Republic just need a draw in Poland?

 

[Leewilson]

Just burst out laughing at Scotland. Honestly, it's so typical of them. I'm just surprised it didn't bounce in off the keeper's head for good measure.

 

[Nilsson]

Haha, bye bye Scotland. I'm glad they won't be involved next year.

Great effort by the two Irish teams.

[AFCB_Mark]

Yes Ireland

 

[Ebeneezer Goode]

Germany could still finish third.

 

[smat]

Germany could still finish third.

Yeah but they will win the group, they've got Georgia at home.

 

[Modernist]

Martin O'neil...what a manager.

 

[Leewilson]

Annoyingly, that Lewandowski goal has meant Ireland need to win in Poland as opposed to a draw being enough to get them through. Small margains but critical ones.

Still the way Ireland have set up in this group has been impressive, they've not been particularly fluent but O'Neill has them extremely resolute. You feel they need to cling onto a 0-0 in Warsaw and grab a late 1-0 win like tonight.

Edit: Scrap that, a 2-2 draw or bigger sends them through as well.

 

[Alty]

Fucking get in lads. What a result

 

[mente captus]

Ireland could secure the second spot with a 2:2 (head to head over goal difference)

 

[Leewilson]

Fucking get in lads. What a result

After years of posting, "don't fuck it up against the minnows N Ireland", they've only gone and bloody done it at last.

 

[blademan89]

Michael O'Neill - great appointment.

Albania :'( need to win in Armenia now - could happen.

Very good chance still for albania would of only needed a draw had they held out tonight

 

[mente captus]

very lame campaign from us, but as long we win the euros, all is fine.

can see some drops infront of the tournament and some youngsters joining the squad. Schweinsteiger (Goretzka), Bellarabi ( Brandt) Schürrle (Draxler), Ginter (Tah) and Mustafi ( Rüdiger) should be replaced

 

[Master D]

It's a great achievement from N.Ireland but their group wasn't that difficult it must be said.

 

[BlueBee]

What a result!

What have I always said about Shane Long. Criminally underrated.

Doubt we'll get the result we want on Sunday but I'll settle with playoffs from what was the hardest group of the entire qualification stage.

Lewa! Lewa! Lewa!

Scotland

Keep the island warm for us lads won't you while the rest of us are in France.

 

[AFCB_Mark]

I don't find the Scotland result hugely funny, I feel for them a little tbh.

Germany losing to Ireland, now that I DO find funny.

 

[mente captus]

Germany losing to Ireland, now that I DO find funny.

yeah, celebrate your eastern europe championship or whatever you are playing there.

and, for all the scots here:

 

[BlueBee]

It was pretty much Derby County Vs Bayern Munich. Hilarious.

I don't think this Germany side will be as dominant as Spain were....lack a bit of fire power up front and look pretty suspect at the back.

me neither I would of loved all the home nations to qualify.

You won't be there long but we'll enjoy the peace when you're gone at least.

It's Celtic what do you expect. Rangers probably had their St. George's crosses waving when England qualified the other week.

 

[Ebeneezer Goode]

A midfield of Barkley, Lallana and Milner...

 

[Leewilson]

Barkley is a good choice. Disappointed to see Lallana and Milner. We only need one of them. I'd have given Shelvey another opportunity.

 

[JimJams]

Lallana? Does he even get games?

 

[Who Needs Mourinho]

Lallana? Does he even get games?

Nope and he gives Cahill who shouldn't even be in the side, the captain's armband

[Iconoclast mode]

Is Kane... all that?
