Euro 2020 thread (Part 1)

Should get 9 points from the first 4 you’d imagine…

Not one home game on a weekend.

I might celebrate my birthday over in Georgia :grimacing:

The October games will be played while the rugby World Cup is on . The Eire team will be able to play these game with little pressure on .

The Swiss are potentially more dangerous than the Danes in my opinion. We’ve a very poor record against them. Georgia have always been a dangerous opponent as well.

Its a tough group, but dodging Germany and Holland is a blessing.

Ah I wouldn’t say that, they’ve never made a semi final despite only about 6 teams taking it seriously. Seeing as how they are now the best team in the world after beating New Zealand in another friendly and favourites to win it they’ll be expected to deal with that pressure comfortably.

Switzerland and Denmark are ranked 8th and 10th in the world, respectively. Both higher than Germany and Holland.

Who would you rather us play pal?

Switzerland and Denmark all day every day. Wasn’t a dig at you, more the ranking system

Agreed, its a total joke.

I haven’t gone through the the draw in detail but at first glance my impression was there’s a lot of repeat pairing from the nation’s league

In fairness we should be able to get a result against Gibraltar.

I havent myself to be honest. Caught the last bit of it on RTE. Interestingly only for the fact we’re a host nation we would’ve had the Germans and the Dutch. A tweet which wasnt commented on came up on the bottom of the screen essentially calling it a fix. A dismayed Norn Ireland supporter I’d say.

John Delaney take a bow.

We are cashing in our chips from the time uefa fucked us over with Henry’s thing

I’d have no sympathy for them.

They’d have been dancing on the Shankill when they’d seen we’d drawn Holland and Germany.

Quickly brought back to earth a few seconds later. :slight_smile:

The Estonia draw that time was almost certainly rigged imo. A form of pay back, as it were.

He’ll be back on sky with all the other failed managers soon

Which? Bosnia?

Draw for Euro 2012, had Estonia away in the first leg of the play off and beat them 4-0.

Think that was the campaign following on from the Henry handball.
