Is it the Irish singing the scouse "and now you're gonna believe us", or the Gibs?

Just watched the second half, but Poland's defending has been poor.
If Lothar wants to keep his cap record, he´ll have to break Poldi´s legs. Otherwise Poldi will break it with four minute subs.
Can and Hector especially were surprisingly good at the FB positions. Great game. Should have ended 10-4.

I'm starting to believe that Löw is just trolling. It's really fecked up, it makes zero sense.If Lothar wants to keep his cap record, he´ll have to break Poldi´s legs. Otherwise Poldi will break it with four minute subs.
Well done Finland, won me a bit of money that.

Can't believe he actually subbed Podolski on.
In 100 years, people will look at the record holders for apps and think "damn, that Podolski fella, surely top 5 of the German all time greatest with so many games".

Can was good? I thought he offered very little going forward, wasted several good opportunities on the break and was not too convincing defensively either.
Hector looks to be a good option at LB, though. I would like to see Ginter next game as RB. Löw used the FB nearly as offensively as Tuchel does (without the covering of the midfielf, though, which cost us a goal today).
Agree with you on Can. But surely you want to see Ginter as right back? Not on the left?
Lehmann and Kahn´s expert battles are impressive. One with his fake intellectual BS that makes zero sense and the other with his drunken pub phrases.
Yeah. Corrected it already. Am on the phone right now, so no wall of texts from me today :P.
Thank god he's such a useless tosser
Fecking great result for us 0-0 in Denmark. Had a chance to win it as well! We've guaranteed 3rd place in the group and sit pretty on top of the 3rd ranked team standings! 4 points out of 3 matches should guarantee us qualification. Very doable!!
Yep, although a lot depends in the next three matches. Anyway, it is a stupid rule that the away goal counts in group stages (we have better GD than Denmark but the results were 1-1 in Albania and 0-0 in Denmark).Thank god he's such a useless tosser

I actually think that Denmark fully deserved the win today, but in the other hand, we could have won the match in the last minute.
De Biasi is our best ever manager. Haven't ever seen an Albania this organized and strong in all departments. Wouldn't be surprised if we get a result against Portugal, we always manage to completely shut down Ronaldo (still remember the match in Braga a few years ago when we got 0-0 despite that one of our players was sent of in the first half).
I hope we get one of the first two places, but even the third place isn't bet. Only a fully functional Holland is better from teams that are third in their groups. Still, think that we should get the first place, after all it is the year or countries who don't do well with Iceland, Wales, Slovakia etc leading their groups. We're joining them.
Holland are the smallest threat out of all those teams, they've played 6 and have 7 points, they can only get another 6 which means a max of 13 and that won't bother us as we should get the win in Armenia.
Yes that rule is very stupid but I think we will get there on points if we manage 4 more out of the next 3 games. We will grind out a result for sure against Serbia and a win against Armenia, but if we manage to do Portugal as well that will be some magnificent achievement!
@LitterBug and @Revan are Albanians. Huh, well I'll never
Albania are doing pretty well. I thought they were shit like always.
Revan was always present in the Balkan thread, so he never made a great deal out of it that he was Albanian.

Going to see the match against Slovenia at St. Jakobs Park tonight, Hopp Suisse!!
How will the best third place be decided with one group having less teams?
For all the other groups with 6 teams in it, the results against the worst team of the group (bottom team) are not counted while deciding best 3rd place team.
I meant more a threat for a potential play off match. Still, there is a high likelihood that we can go either from first/second position or as the best team from third position.
If we manage to get 4 points in the next two matces (which are at home), we'll be there, otherwise it will be a bit tricky, but still, third place already guaranteed.
How do you mean?
Oh well, it was a deserved win for Germany for sure, can't fault our guys though because they worked pretty hard and with a bit of luck we could've as well been 2-2 or even 3-2 at half time. Shame about our first two goals, Piszczek has been shocking, if he was injured then he should've just warmed the bench instead of being useless. Jodłowiec needs to feck off though.
Müller is unplayable, the cnut.

Not even contrnplating play offs, either direct qualification by being in the top 2 or best third placed team
If Denmark don't win against Armenia on Monday we're almost there!
Is this the latest version? So Ireland still have a lot to do..Thank god he's such a useless tosser

Not negatively, just that you expressed your opinion on that and explained your view on the war.
Yes it is. They play Germany and Georgia at home and Poland away. Don't see them getting more than 4 points max in that so don't think they'll be competing for 3rd place direct qualification. I'd say play offs are the likelier option for you.
We played well against Germany yesterday, if Neuer hadn't pulled off a miracle save in the first half it could have gone either way really. We were better than last year when we best them 2-0.
Still a good position in the group thanks to Scotland losing in Georgia. We might go through with as little as 1 point against Ireland at home which is very doable and this time we actually won't be sending a poor disorganized side to Euro.

Our group has been pretty weird though. I'd say 0-5pts all possible, very unpredictable.Was Martial subbed on? How did he fare?
In my honest opinion you need all three wins to qualify directly, 3rd place direct qualification will require 14-15 points for sure. I'm going to do a spreadsheet later on to see the possibilities!
It will be awesome to see countries like Albania, Wales, Northern Ireland or Iceland at Euros. Hang on!
What's this 3rd place direct qualification? I thought it was just play-offs for the 3rd places bar the worst (9th placed)?
The best 3rd placed team goes straight through. All remaining are in playoff, 9th placed included.
Ah ok, I was reading something here today and was confused. They've assumed in the Irish press that we won't get the best third placed and have just omitted that from their permutations
Yeah read the same thing and then presumed it was true as well, only to find out later that it was actually the other way around (i.e. best placed 3rd team going straight through instead of the worst being knocked out). It would have been cruel to do it any other way because these groups are far from even.Ah ok, I was reading something here today and was confused. They've assumed in the Irish press that we won't get the best third placed and have just omitted that from their permutations
What's wrong with Greece? Surely they cannot possibly be this terrible?

They have ommited it because it's very unlikey/impossible considering Albania and Hungary are on 11 and Norway on 10. They all have to lose the rest of their matches, 3 in Albania's case and 2 for both Norway and Hungary while Ireland win 2 of their last 3 which is a very unlikely scenario and even then teams like Ukraine have 4 more games and winning 2 can land them on 12 with the liklier better goal difference.
Why are you guys discussing third place? You can surely go for first or second. I sincerily doubt we will win at Albania. I think we may lose. I mean we have no midfield at the moment. Tiago, Moutinho and William Carvalho all out. Combine with the fact that our full backs aren´t in the best form and that our attack hasn´t been that impressive. Only if Ronaldo pulls another special like he did at Armenia away, i see any possibility of pulling a win.
Have you played both matches with the Denmark?
No. We just won away.
Fantastic. One/both of you will leave points in that match then. If we get a point against you and win against either Serbia or Armenia, I guess that we'll qualify. I am assuming that you'll defeat Denmark in home.
