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.
Chiesa finally scores
9-1. This isn't Italy

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?
Do we go into some sort of play off then?

Because we don't play against teams this bad often!
Both these teams are toss. Northern Ireland look a much better team than the Republic.
McClean's a looper
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.
Think it's a semi then a final for one spot.

we'll still find a way to not qualify.
8-0 what the feck is going on
We don't win 8-0! Not even against the likes of San Marino!
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).
Ireland have been woeful.
