Poland is basically playing the same way, a very archaic style from 1980s. However Lewandowski & Bale make them qualify for most of the global champs while Ireland doesn't even have that one world class player right now.

We haven’t had a world class player in 20 years

I swear I never wanted to win a match more than this in my entire life. mostly because of what happened in the first match (which was in unusual situation), don't care about the next match, to me they already succeed (that's just for now. I'm sure I will care in time )

 

that was a well deserved win and Iran should score earlier and missed so many chances but who could even imagine that Cheshmi of all people can even kick the ball from outside the box, let alone score a goal !

 

kind of funny that people were talking about Iran as the worst team of the competition. some of Welsh players were talking about the goal difference, yeah good luck next time.

I honestly thought Iran had every chance of winning this match. Wales are a very average side, similar to level of Ireland

Maybe he would just reduce the stoppage time so he´ll end the game at 79th this time

Yes he will forget he is supposed to add instead of subtract

No matter what happens here in this match, Belgium are the most overrated team in international football and have been for years.

With all the stoppage time in this World Cup the match will still probably last 95 minutes even if he cuts 5 minutes from regulation time!

[OlympicIRL 4,826]

What an upset 

[OlympicIRL 4,826]

Yesssssss!!!! Ireland are into the World Cup!!    

 

First time our senior women’s team has qualified for a major tournament.

And the goal scorer from Donegal, from nearby village that suffered the terrible explosion tragedy this week!

 

I’m so happy for the team

If you needed a sign of just how far the English women's football team has come on in recent years, there is no better indication that this. A Scottish fan traveling to an England game to cheer them on.....

 

 

To cheer on Sweden of course:

4-0 to England…. is football coming home?

[OlympicIRL 4,826]

1-1 in Gothenburg! This must be the biggest result in the history of Irish women's football and could be a crucial point in making the World Cup play-offs

[OlympicIRL 4,826]

Still think 13 spots for Europe is just too few... I know there needs to be universality and it's the largest portion of all the continents but it's getting harder and harder each time. Though I am just bitter that my country hasn't a hope in qualifying anytime in the next decades

So POL and CZE are among the Western countries on Sundays, nice to know because I always forget on which days they are Eastern, Central and Western.

To us Irish, Eastern Europe begins in the Irish Sea

how Mancini can let Jorginho take this penalty?  this is the 3rd very important penalty he is missing for the NT in past few months.

Exactly, he is one of the worst or possibly the worst penalty taker I can think of

[OlympicIRL 4,826]

There's hardly a sadder sight than a football ceremony.

[OlympicIRL 4,826]

Ireland also wouldn’t qualify in a 32 team Euros

It wasn't pretty but it was a point! A win against Slovakia and Sweden will advance.

Unless all 4 teams finish on 4 points. Unlikely but it has happened (World Cup 1994 is one I remember well when Norway finished bottom and were eliminated with 4 points).

[OlympicIRL 4,826]

This is definitely like TISC.... you wait 553 mins and then bam, 12 points 2 goals in a couple of minutes !

[OlympicIRL 4,826]

0 mins since Ukraine scored at Euros
