The Euro 2020 Thread

[hallelujah]

Not the kind of reception England fans usually get: http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/50448139

Hope they don't behave like cnuts in return.

[hallelujah]

Kosovo 0-4 England. A plucky effort by the home team, but you can't keep out the best forward line in international football for long.

Winks
Kane
Rashford
Mount

Thirty seven goals in qualifying. Previously the 4th best team in world football march on as they look set to cement their status as the best team in the world over the next few years.

Hal, lets hope the midget gangsta Sterling's Tatt ain't prescient and he doesn't bring a gun into the canteen and go postal next time Citeh lose and go Munich on the team

Who'd you back in a one-on-one between Sterling and Gomez?

I'm going for Sterling. Bet he's a right little nasty cnut; you'd have to knock him out to keep him down.

Got the Ireland v Denmark game on here. When Jorge Valdano talked about shit on a stick a few years ago, this Ireland team then built their whole game on it. What a dreadful team.

Although they'll be as welcome as herpes, let's hope they get 2nd spot and we can smash them 5-0.

[hallelujah]

Ireland 0-1 Denmark.

Ireland will now have to double their number of shots on target so far to win the game.

[hallelujah]

1-1 and Denmark win the group.

If they're lucky, Ireland will qualify for the tournament via the play-offs and get stuffed by England, the greatest team in Europe, 5-0, in the big boys stage.

Chances are they won't be that lucky, mind.

Will their opponents even need a helping hand?

.....

Who could Ireland play in the Euro 2020 playoffs?
They won't know until Tuesday but right now, Ireland could play Bosnia, Wales, Slovakia. They could meet Northern Ireland in a final. The majority of attention will be focused on Wales and Hungary in Group E on Tuesday at 7.45 pm. If Wales draw and Slovakia qualify with an expected win over Azerbaijan then it will be Wales against Ireland.

If Wales win, they qualify. That would see Ireland face Slovakia away.

If Hungary win, it gets complicated. One of Wales, Slovakia and Northern Ireland would be required to fill the vacant spot for the League A playoff. Ireland cannot do so as they are a host nation.

Essentially, we will have to wait until Friday’s playoff draw to find out Ireland's fate. That would likely see Ireland play one of Wales, Slovakia or Bosnia away.

Ireland cannot play Northern Ireland in a semi-final as they are both the lowest-ranked sides.

When do the Euro 2020 playoff draws occur?
The draw takes place Friday, November 22nd in Nyon at 11am Irish time.

Should the Boys in Green qualify, they will two groups games in Dublin but let's not get ahead of ourselves. The first task is finding out who Ireland will play in the Euro 2020 playoffs. We will know for definite come Friday.

If Wales win, they qualify. That would see Ireland face Slovakia away.

Are these playoffs one leg or two?

[harrybarracuda]

If Wales beat Hungary tonight they qualify.

[Luigi]

Are these playoffs one leg or two?

One leg, then the winner has another one leg play-off.

16 teams playing for 4 places, via 4 play-off groups.


It's a bit odd how it's all put together, to say the least.

[Dillinger]

I think its good. A lot more coverage of Irish humiliation

[hallelujah]

This Wales game is a good 'un. 2-0 up at the mo.

Meanwhile in Jockland at HT...

Scotland 0-

























Kazakhstan 1



Pass the buckfast

Don't laugh. Hal has down syndrome.

[Luigi]

Well, no.


One away game and out.



Rather than being trounced both away and home.

[hallelujah]

Don't take my word for it, ladies.

[panama hat]

Don't take my word for it, ladies.

Quite . . . Kosovo and Montenegro are particularly tough opponents, top ten both . . . None better to up your climb in the world rankings and declare world supremacy

[harrybarracuda]

The draw is on after the usual pitiful attempt at entertainment.

[Luigi]

^ Has it come home yet?

[harrybarracuda]

We're in Pot 1. I mean that's a trophy innit?

[Luigi]

Of course it is.


*pats Harry on the head*

[harrybarracuda]

England are in D1

What a right fucking result.

Or something.

[harrybarracuda]

Croatia.... arf.
