The rankings are a joke. I think Wales should be in a higher pot, but not at the expense of England. Because, quite frankly, we're the better team.

Such a let down having so many teams, I loved the euros because of the quality but next year really will be the worst. Still watch it though.

100% correct. More isn't always better.

because it makes no sense to place England in pot 1 and Wales in pot 4. Isnt Wales not above England in the world ranking?

Using your same logic of England never having won a Euro knock-out game in 90 minutes meaning they're shit...Wales have never been to a Euros full stop...? They must be even shitter?

And if we play the daft rankings game for just one moment, keeping in mind that we get updated rankings shortly and England will be climbing up them due to recent points accrued, and that France are currently laughably 22nd and Italy 17th, then yes Wales currently a shade above England in 8th compared with 10th. That doesn't mean Wales are better, or as good, as England.

Hey, being in different pots, there's a chance we'll be drawn together and that can be tested (again). That would make for a cracking group actually come to think of it.

I definitely think it's very harsh for Wales to be in pot 4 though, clearly better than that, and if they can keep qualifying for tournaments then they'll soon get higher up pots. I hope so.

Holland 1-0 down at home to Czech Republic and look to be heading out.

Norway also 1-0 up in Rome.

France, Spain, Germany, Portugal, England and Belgium/Netherlands will be Pot 1.

Not looking good for them bruv. 0-1 down at home to the Czechs (who are already through).

Cyprus v Bosnia is where it's at tonight really. Winner gets play-offs and shit.

Will the Dutch sack another manager?

England is always on top short before a tournament kicks off. shortly after they will drop 20 places. then they will beat some minor nations in the quali stage who discovered the sport 2 weeks ago and the rise and fall will start again

That van Persie own goal!

Oh look, Mente Captus is talking about the English national team.

Master D · Oct 13, 2015

Andorra are fucking infuriating to play against. They are going to lose every game anyway but they don't even bother attacking in the slightest, all they do is throw in late challenges, time-waste and roll around playacting from minute 1. That no.6 Lima for them is a massive thundercunt every time I see him play and the keeper falls over after every simple catch.

Super_horns · Oct 13, 2015

Turkey will get the top 3rd place if they score ..

Stevencc · Oct 13, 2015

Amazing free kick from Inan!

mistermagic · Oct 13, 2015

Bosnia won the game of the evening in Cyprus. When's the play-off draw?

Super_horns · Oct 13, 2015

Sunday morning.

The other play off teams will be glad Turkey and Croatia got through..

in 85 days, when Platini is able to accept the bids. then the highest 'ranked' team will play the lowest.

AnkleBiter · Oct 13, 2015

10 man Turkey score in the last minute and then rely on Kazakhstan to hold on at Latvia... crazy.

Play offs I believe are...
Ukraine, Sweden, Bosnia, Hungary seeded.
Ireland, Denmark, Norway and Slovenia unseeded.

Ireland have a great chance if they avoid Ukraine, and maybe Sweden.

Unseeded: Denmark, Ireland, Norway, Slovenia

What have Belgium done at a tournament? They're now ranked number one in the world.

Euro will miss world class talent like Depay :fl:

thats the same bullshit.

Everyone's full of Wales, Northern Ireland, Iceland etc, but I think we should pay tribute to Holland's achievement. Going from the last four of a World Cup to not even being in the best twenty-four teams in Europe in just over a year. Outstanding.

Van Persie's own goal was fantastic. Took the pace off the ball and guided it into the corner. You don't save those.

WAP · Oct 14, 2015

Shame not to see the Dutch next year, they always bring numbers and atmosphere to the major tournaments.

From a selfish point though its one less team to compete with.

Bobbin' · Oct 14, 2015

Looks like Wales have already won it! How embarrassing.

They got outplayed by 2 shitty North American teams. They never really deserved to finish top 4 in my opinion. That said, I am surprised that they went out, but not AS surprised as some other people.

I think Ireland have a great chance against any of those except Ukraine. Ukraine seem like a very decent side to me and the conditions in Ukraine must be tough. They'll definitely want Hungary.

blademan89 · Oct 14, 2015

Personally can't see ireland beating any of those 4 unless its hungary. Hopefully they don't anyway.

ArmchairDiehard · Oct 14, 2015

I quite want Ireland to qualify.

If they continue to play as they have been lately competing against them might not have been such a bad thing.

Im happy enough for scotland,wales and n.ireland to qualify at any time although it was slightly amusing when the jocks lost to georgia. But no i just don't ever want republic to even win a match never mind qualify for a tournament.

QUITE. It's genuinely quite a remarkable feat. They've ended up with a paltry points haul of 13 from 10, five points adrift of a play-off place. Not even getting close to a tournament that's now admitting roughly half the nations in the whole continent is hilariously bad.
