Yes I am down to 2 songs now, the Irish selection won't be too far away now

Well I would be 100% behind Scotland in this case given my Scottish blood . But yeah, I would like to see either qualify

You must be a real hoot

So Ireland needs to win in Cardiff and need for both Croatia or Scotland not to win.... piece of cake . Though I am already supporting the Scots and wanting them to reach the play-offs. I hope at least one of my teams can make it through

Haha yes, and Ireland drew all 3 of our group games (Egypt, Netherlands and England), then drew 0-0 with Romania and beating them on penalites, and eventually losing 1-0 to the tournament hosts Italy in the quarter-finals..... no Portuguese-style fairytale sadly . But hey, we avenged our Italian defeat 4 years later in the USA

Yeah, we were in the same group in 1990 and though I was born then, I don't remember this tournament either . Wales can wait a little longer I feel

1958, 1982 and 1986 were NI's 3 appearances.... all before I was born so it would be really something if they could return

20 years?

Ufff, those Dutch houses you offer the Swedes had better be pretty darn good then

Plus if nations like Scotland and Northern Ireland qualify then they will be like new nations as it is decades since they appeared previously..... and on the same note, looks like we can soon congratulate Egypt on a long awaited return!

There is surely the potential for a Eurovision song there, catchy lyrics or what?

Sure no problem, there are two different nations in Europe with similar names and similar flags, one is called Slovenia and one is called Slovakia. Did that help?

Looks like I broke the Totallympics platform as it cannot recognise the difference between Slovenia and Slovakia

My post spammed the thread it seems

And now do you forgive those who miss Slovenia for Slovenia, errr I mean Slovakia?

Yeah exactly, I Believe I Can Fly I could understand if it gave me that.... but just like you it gave my Ignition . I'm starting to see some patterns emerging

Euro 2008 qualifying and Scotland has a death group with Italy, France and Ukraine..... Scotland beats France twice (home and away) but threw qualification away in the end against Georgia. A familiar story with Scotland

Don't be getting my hopes up

Slovakian keeper has made an innumerable number of really brilliant saves! He is going to be the hero if it stays like this!

Wow, good man Hendo!!

The time capsule also is very hit and miss for me..... some very accurate but many absolutely not..... I am getting some TLC and R Kelly

Rhys McClenaghan 14th in pommel in his first worlds and just 0.2 from a place in the final. He has a bright future!
