win 2-0. The scoreline is flattering for us. On Sunday we play in Cardiff. A draw will be enough to remain in Division A.

But the draw may not be enough for Pot 1 in the EURO2024 qualification draw, which is probably as important as staying in DivA. The worst third placed team in DivA will be in Pot 2. 

 

Right not the teams that would be in Pot 1 (+ UNL pot) are:

                   

 

And currently the rest of the pots would be...

 

Pot 2

                 

 

Pot 3

                   

 

Pot 4

                 

 

Pot 5

                   

 

Pot 6

If it wasn't for Serbia pot 4 would look more menacing than pot 3.  

 

 

 

Anyway, 24 teams qualify, the teams that don't make it truly aren't worth anything regardless of draw

If we somehow manage to stay in Pot 1 (I think we "only" need 1 more point for that from the last two matches against Germany and Italy), literally everyone will want to get us from Pot 1.

Time for the coach (first ever foreign coach) of SVK National Team debut

Poor guy, abandoning Naples for this

 

I guess now he know

 

 

If you guys have some 7 minutes of spare time and look for some pure gold comedy, look at the highlights, it is worth, yeah that was something

@hckošiceWell, last night some Polish experts tried to sugar coat the perspective of us losing to Wales and going down to Div. B by mentioning how Slovakia lost to Azerbaijan & Kazakhstan twice (as in "others have problems too") but then they had to mention how we lost to Slovakia at the Euros to conclude we are struggling badly ourselves

 

The main issue is Glik is 34yo and looking washed up, Bednarek is a bench warmer at Aston Villa and we don't have wing-backs to play 3-5-2 system. It's the same crap that led to Nawalka's downfall at 2018 World Cup and now Michniewicz is running it back after we lost 6-1 vs Belgium playing 4-4-2. Either way, we're screwed. Don't be surprised if we can't beat Saudi Arabia in two months time

The difference between the match vs Poland and the matches in this League of Nations is simple.

 

Marek Hamšík.

 

against Poland we were still on the Hamšík era, after his retirement everything fell apart.

 

It is really insane how one player can have so big impact in a team sport, but in case of Slovakia it is clearly obvious and true.

 

We now can divide our football NT into 2 completely different worlds. The Hamšík era until 2021 and the post-Hamšík era since Fall 2021.

 

Completely different worlds.

Hungary coach must be some unprecedented tactical genious to get these results.

[Vektor 2,320]

Okay, this is just simply ridiculous now.  Pot 1 for  in the EURO2024 qualification draw. 

[Monzanator 2,731]

vs about to kick off. Any win for Wales means Poland is relegated to Division B.

 

@hckošiceI see Slovakia drew vs Belarus 1-1 with Adam Zrelak scoring the goal. The man who is just about the only offensive threat for otherwise very defensive-minded Warta Poznań from Polish Ekstraklasa. I seriously wonder how many Slovaks actually know who this guy is
