Why Ireland Need to LOSE Next Game to Qualify for Euro 2024 

The amount of times I see 'As an Irish person' comments on RU-vid

I want the Euros to be filled with teams that have earned their place. Obviously Estonia would have to play unbelievably to win their playoff path, but they've only got there by coming top of a group with Malta and San Marino. Feels cheap.

I understand but they'd have no chance otherwise. I always like to see new faces in tournaments !@@StatsUnited

fair enough but what I think he meant about competitive games is playing a team in a match that wont be one sided so they can improve insteaad of being battered all the time like san marino who have only won one international game i believe

@@StatsUnited Why did Ireland need to lose?

I can I think this best idea but I guess uefa don’t want nations league to be meaningless

@@captainfalconmain6576 It's still a trophy, why would it be meaningless?

@@josephblomberg7077it’s not obviously but it’s make the euros qualifiers playoffs to confused tie breakers too

Cheers mate!

So is there a Euro main qualifying stage like currently?

I don't think they will actually lose on purpose, but play with less intensity than other games

probably not but it’d be so funny 😭

No I don't think they will, but the RULES encourage to do that. In my opinion, ONLY group winners should be taken into account for playoffs path formation (with one exception). We can have the following scenarios in Leagues A to C: a) No group winner qualify directly: playoffs as they are now b) One group winner qualify directly: the other three group winners enter the playoffs. The best of them qualifies directly to the final c) Two group winners qualify directly: only the playoff final is played d) Three group winners qualify directly: the only group winner plays the best group winner of League D if available (in descending order: top priority to League A, than B, than C) or the best second placed team from the same league d) All four group winners qualify directly: all the second placed teams enter the playoffs

We wont need to, we're shite

If I rooted for Ireland, i’d rather have them play their best. If Ireland does beat the Netherlands, it won’t harm the Netherlands much as the Dutch only have to grab a point against the minnow Gibraltar. Therefore, whatever the result of NEDvIRL is won’t practically affect Ireland’s chance of qualification. Now, why would I want Ireland to put on the best effort? Basically I’d skip 2024 Euro and focus on the next major campaign, 2026 World Cup qualifying, in terms of preparation. Getting positive results will increase their FIFA points, climbing up the FIFA Rankings. The point would be to attempt to climb up the pot allocation in hopes of getting the best group possible.

Nations league is total bullshit

I have a video planned on that!

I agree with you 😊

But that defeats the purpose of the nations league. It has (outside of money) 3 main functions. 1. Having the big teams play eachother more often in a serious match. 2. Giving a Back-up option to sub-top teams who had been unlucky with their group. 3. Giving smaller nations something to play for and ultimately becoming better teams.

They need to beat Czechia and to hope that Moldova will beat or draw with Czechia otherwise is over

@@tomigamingshqip6436in terms of qualifying directly. Playoff spot is pretty much in their hand already

@@huykim4663 i know i was just saying for direct qualify 😄

10 teams 3rd playoffs 2 teams an the the nations league this

Ireland don't need to try to lose anyways lol

I agree

Nice try estonian

Because Russia withdrew, results in the other groups against the 4th-placed side don't count towards the rankings

@@StatsUnited Russia was barred from entereing, but that's a whole other topic. Norway loses 6 points from their 2 wins vs. Sweden and even though they have 1 win, 1 draw and 2 losses, compared to Iceland's 4 draws (fun fact only Iceland and Estonia went undefeated, with Estonia having 'perfect' record which considering that the opposition was Malta and San Marino it's not a shocker) they are behind Iceland due to an inferior goal difference (-2).

It’s confusing bland Uefa

Uefa is confused company

Portgul 1st Lmao 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I wonder who your favourite player is

​​​@@captainfalconmain6576Portugal beat every team in their qualification group and haven't lost a single match so far. They've improved since Santos left.

@@Diogo85what are you talking about France is also unbeaten

@@captainfalconmain6576 Yep.

It will be hard

I disagree what’s the point of hosting the tournament if your nations team don’t qualify no point hosting it then that’s embarrassing

Listen,our performance against France and Holland was inspiring and eventually we got beat by the best team in the world,I knew and we knew it’s toughest group you could get,in Greece we got the 1-1,but talking about the performance of two matches?.It’s awful to watch,hosting nation is something to look forward to but who’ll be the next manager in five years time?.Nobody knows,speaking about nations league?. I’m not a big fan of the nations league,it’s meaningless in my opinion,I would rather play a friendly match and of course a major championship just like the Charlton’s days and McCarthy,but those days are gone,now we’re playing more and more matches.@@captainfalconmain6576

@@alexandermoonen6170in my opinion you guys just have to fire you’re coach and find an amazing coach

Yes, I mean,there’s a lot of managers who keeps mentioning the names,as the Irish media mentions ,Lee Carsley,Chris Hughton,Roy Keane,Steve Bruce,and I think whoever comes in as the new manager,it’s a big job,he’s got to bring a major tournament,we as fans we want to go to a major champions.@@captainfalconmain6576

@@alexandermoonen6170it’s also depends what qualfiers group you guys get to be able to qualify

England hungry Ireland could be a possible group for your yea that won’t be easy hungry actually beat Serbia twice an qualifiers too nations league is 4 teams only because second places team an the groups World Cup go to playoffs

You would want Poland for pot 2 they been terrible at the moment

@@captainfalconmain6576 i dont mind what group we get i just wanna see my team and my country's fans at the eurks
