European Championship qualifying is the Hotel California of football. Ireland are going to get a play off despite us scoring a stunning 6 goals in 8 games due to our performance in the Nations League (in which we didn't win a game and got relegated - only to be moved back up again due to a change of format).fecking hell how many teams are going to be in this next Euros?
Everyone seems to get 3 or 4 chances to qualify.

Because we don't play against teams this bad often!So important - Martin Braithwaite He has played so bad, and so has the entire danish team, but that doesn't matter now. By the way - Denmark has not lost the last 33 games. The penalty shootout at the World Cup does not count in the statistics.
If Ireland can play like this, then I can't stop asking, why they don't do that more often?
Yeah we do. Think we're in a group of 4. Possibly the Nordies and two mid-level Eastern European types depending on how results go.Do we go into some sort of play off then?
shut up and keep knocking until you are allowed to check in through just another huffy-puffy 0-0European Championship qualifying is the Hotel California of football.

The standard of International football isn't that high.Because we don't play against teams this bad often!
If you combined the 2 we'd be the best team in the World. That's why they separated us (I think I read that somewhere).Both these teams are toss. Northern Ireland look a much better team than the Republic.
What kind of mess is that?McClean's a looper

Think it's a semi then a final for one spot.

we'll still find a way to not qualify.European Championship qualifying is the Hotel California of football.

At least we'll have fun along the way!we'll still find a way to not qualify.
More goals in one game than Ireland in 88-0 what the feck is going on
We don't win 8-0! Not even against the likes of San Marino!
I think everyone goes into a play off.Do NI get a chance at a play-off too?
Bit of a joke that it was RI that was meant to be NI's group, I think NI would've qualified out of a group with Switzerland and Denmark in it instead of Germany and the Netherlands (both of whom NI can strong games too).
What game are you watchingIreland have been woeful.
