Nah, can't really see this team beating the Surströmming guys on Sunday. When is the Nations League play-off?
Maybe not - but we have Ødegaard who looks more and more world-class for every game. Soon he will be our Gareth Bale

Someone remind me again what was the Nations League for exactly? I thought the winner of Nations League automatically qualified for Euro or something.

Think it is they automatically get a playoff place if they don't qualify through the group stages, so it it a second chance.

Pukki-party continues. It's pretty damn close for Finland to qualify for the first time in major international competition.

Finland leading Greece. If they win this it might be their best chance at getting to their first EC/WC final tournament ever.

I'm willing to give Norway the benefit of the doubt here - playing with the engine at half power. Because this is a fecking toilet of a performance. Two throw-ins, two goals. Apart from that, not a single glimmer of attacking finesse.

Alexander Isak with out a doubt followed by Kristoffer Olsson and Robin Quaison is by far Sweden’s best players.

Lindelöf looks like a shadow of the player we saw against France in the ECQ June 2017. Short of confidence. Indecisive. Nice goal but overall his contribution has been ordinary.

Spain down to 10, ridiculous decision on replay but there's no VAR in qualifiers :rolleyes:

Odegaard looks immense though tbh

They should not only penalize time wasting with a yellow, but also with an extra 3 minutes of injury time.

Cracking result for Ireland. Felt we could have pinched all three at the end as well.

All still to play for. Matches away to Georgia and Switzerland, plus at home to Denmark left for us so it's still very unlikely we'll qualify but we've given ourselves a much better chance that I thought when the group was drawn.

Perfect night for the Nordic teams.
Finns are over the moon. Confident that Finland could get a point against Italy at home on Sunday. The European dream continues.
