You haven’t a clue of anything much these days mate. You need to come out of the bunker and get out more.

Interesting.
The Dutch are literally at nothing here.
In fairness he was very good at Southampton and took Everton to 7th in his first season there too.
Serbia and Montenegro in the one qualifying group. That could be feisty.
Mbappe is pretty good.
Wout Wout!
I’ve been impressed any time I’ve seen Kolo Muani, thought he looked really good again tonight.
This was the time to play Holland… They’ve all had food poisoning this week.
Armenia vs Turkey tonight should be a spicy enough affair
Serbia v Montenegro is on midweek
Lads, can someone explain whats required for qualification and which other teams we need to lose as this goes on. Its quite a convoluted system iirc and we might qualify in 3rd depending on who finishes 3rd elsewhere? Anyone? Cc @Cheasty @Rocko @peddlerscross
First two go through.
Then there are Nations League playoffs using same format as last time. As the competition progresses we will know more about who we want to win and lose but given our ranking we will need a few favours from teams ranked above us qualifying automatically to pass down playoffs spots.
Finishing third in the group is the same as finishing last as far as qualifying is concerned as far as I know. However it would affect seeding for the tournament itself.

@ceist what teams do Ireland need to qualify automatically for Euro 2024 to allow them to get a playoff spot from their nations league ranking. Please provide a detailed answer.
To qualify automatically for Euro 2024, Ireland would need to finish in the top two of their qualifying group. However, if they finish third, they could still have a chance to qualify through the UEFA Nations League playoffs.
The Nations League playoffs consist of 16 teams, divided into four paths, with each path containing four teams. The winners of each path qualify for the Euro 2024 tournament.
The teams that qualify automatically for Euro 2024 will not participate in the Nations League playoffs. This means that Ireland would need teams ranked higher than them in the Nations League rankings to qualify automatically, so that their playoff spot can be passed down to them.
It’s still early in the qualifying process, so it’s hard to say which teams Ireland need to qualify automatically for Euro 2024. However, as the competition progresses, we will have a better idea of which teams Ireland need to support in order to maximize their chances of qualifying through the Nations League playoffs.
I think if 3 teams who were ranked below us qualify automatically then we’re in trouble regarding the play-off. One team we should be watching closely are Sweden as they are *ranked below us but are generally good enough to qualify for tournaments. They actually won Euro 2024 in my FM23 Republic of Ireland career.
*Ranked below us in Nations League terms as they were relegated to the C league. Northern Ireland could be another threat to us judging by their soft group.
