New thread as the last thread seems to be broken.
That’s not the worst draw in fairness.
We all knew we were getting Denmark
Wales could take Italy at home.
Yes. Home draw if we win
get in!!
About as good a draw as could be hoped for
Denmark will be tough , where is final played ??
HHome gane if get through against Czechia. Optimism levels rising
HOME DRAW!!!
Unbelievable draw. Everything went as well as possible
Not official until CTID posts but
PATH A WALES vs BOSNIA-H vs ITALY VS N IRELAND
PATH B UKRAINE vs SWEDEN vs POLAND vs ALBANIA
PATH C SLOVAKIA vs KOSOVO vs TURKIYE vs ROMANIA
PATH D CZECHIA vs REP of IRE vs DENMARK vs N MACEDONIA
Denmark very strong team but we'll be at home if we beat the Czechs.
I'm calling that the best possible scenario.
A lot of comments saying Denmark again….
But we have to actually win a big game against the Czechs first. Before we can even think about that 😀
Good draw for us, we avoided both Poland and Italy.
And the carrot of if we win the first match we have a home match to get to the World Cup.
Best possible draw tbh
Best possible draw I could think of, just need two more big performances, glad we avoided Turkiye though
Schmeichel is like an ageing Shilton at this stage, festy will beat him from 30yds (whilst trying a pass)!!
I suspect the Czechs would have preferred one of the Balkan teams from Pot C.
How are they going to do ticket sales for the final? Just wait until Ireland qualify and sell them all at a few days notice? Or sell them in advance and refund if the game doesn't happen?
I think there's a friendly match if we don't win.
So I guess they sell them in advance.
Ya it's product bad memories of a better Denmark side.
That would make sense… I'd guess the two teams who don't go forward play against each other in the same format? The loser of ourselves and Czechs play at home against the loser of North Macedonia and Denmark…
No easy paths to the final, but the one Ireland has drawn is certainly a less hard not-easy path, at least. It gives a chance, though improbable, of a Ireland v. North Macedonia game in Dublin to qualify for the World Cup.
Showgrounds
Denmark drew with Scotland and Belarus before losing to Scotland…so not great form there…only beat Northern Ireland 2-1 in June in a friendly aswell…so I wouldnt fear them too much, especially at a packed Aviva…of course have to get past Czechia first
I think so.
Best airport to fly into for Prague other than Prague Airport? Somewhere Ryanair go preferably and easy train links
Yeah, like despite their bad loss to Wales (the only game they conceded more than 1 goal), North Macedonia on their day are no mugs… drew their other game against Wales, and drew both home and away against Belgium in their group.
Milltown I'm hearing on the wireless
