Ireland are seriously poor right now.
Their only wins since 2019 have been against Andorra, Azerbaijan, Qatar, Luxembourg and Lithuania.

2 more goals for Ronaldo already tonight. Now on 117 international goals!1
-
Whilst not Nations league and only a friendly, Messi has 5 goals for Argentina v Estonia tonight.
I think he'd probably be close to Ronaldo's tally if he was European and played the number of qualifiers we do against terrible low ranked nations.
When will him and Ronaldo ever stop?1 -

It’s a very low bar at the moment, but that’s the best I have seen us in quite a few years. Should have been 4 and could have been more. Starting Martins, who was superb with a brilliant assist and a screamer of a goal, and Parrot up front was refreshing and just what we needed.guinnessaddick said:

That Obafemi goal and assist were unreal.
We were lucky that Scotland couldn't have finished a child's potion of chips tonight with how many chances the defense served up to them. Great to win a match in style though.1 - Sponsored links:

What I was suggesting was that starting Obafemi (his first start for us) was a positive move. Duffy scares the hell out of me at the back. He’s a menace when we have attacking set pieces, but not sure that makes up for his defensive frailties. 🦜 took his goal really well and I was impressed again with Nathan Collins and Josh was much better than the last two games.
I’m not a huge fan of Stephen Kenny. Appreciate that we’re trying to change the way we play with essentially a whole new team, but he hasn’t convinced me so far. Happy to see how we push on from this.0 -
Worth pointing out that England wont be one of the top seeds as things stand when the draw for Euro 2024 Qualification comes around, as well as the fact we'd be relegated as things stand - Bit like last time, the seeding will be based on the final positions in this tournament.
We'll need to climb from 14th to 10th for that to be the case
If we do drop into League B - Then its possible we wont be top seeds ahead of the next World Cup or Euros Qualifying
e.g. Could easily end up in a Qualification group with Spain and Germany etc.
Hence why its important that we dont go down.

isn't euro qualifying a bit of a joke now though? You can come like 7th in your group and still qualify so???ForeverAddickted said:Worth pointing out that England wont be one of the top seeds as things stand when the draw for Euro 2024 Qualification comes around, as well as the fact we'd be relegated as things stand - Bit like last time, the seeding will be based on the final positions in this tournament.

Top two qualify automatically - There are then three Play-Offs from each Division of the Nations League... Seems that if you are in League D (Andorra / San Marino etc.) you wont get a Play-Off to enter the main Tournament this time around, which is pretty understandable.Manic_mania said:

Is worth noting if we finish top of our Nations League group (quite difficult now), we wont play more games what with the Finals to play as well - Instead we'd just go into a Euro Quali Group of five teams, rather than a Group of six teams0 -
2 more goals for Haaland today as Norway beat Sweden. He now has 20 goals in 21 internationals, and he's still only 21.1

In the next nations league they are adding South American teams to the competition. Not sure how they will be added into the top groups etc.

Tougher games though, if in the top tier you are now in a group with Brazil, Argentina and France for instance!Chris_from_Sidcup said:

Though the travel will be a lot worse, can't play away to Bolivia and then home to Turkey in 3 days, plus a flight from Azerbaijan to Peru for instance is going to be about 18 hours1 -
Article says all games will be in Europe, as most of the top South Americans all play in Europe anyway.sam3110 said:

That won't help the smaller nations though. Teams like Venezuela and Bolivia with a lot of local players are going to do a lot of travelling. And won't help a country like Ecuador who generally do ok because they play their home games at altitude.2 -
Haven't watched many matches so far but will give the France vs Croatia match a go this evening.0

0-1 Croatia. Modric penalty. Very soft.0

France are a strange one. An entire squad full of world class players yet have been very poor in these games.1
-
Scotland playing well against Ukraine. As it stands, they get promoted and we get relegated…0

2-0 if only they did this in the WC playoff 🤣1
