UEFA Euro 2020 Qualifiers Thread

4 massive games for NI, the Holland/Germany double headers, starting with Germany on Monday.

4 wins from 4 so far, but I think we need one win from somewhere, maybe even 4 points in total. So it's going to be very very tough. But sure, two great away days in October and November. Really looking forward to going to De Kuip in Rotterdam next month so I can remind everyone of our finest night in europe. Then off to frankfurt in November.

Goalkeepers: Craig MacGillivray (Portsmouth), David Marshall (Wigan), Jon McLaughlin (Sunderland)

Defenders: David Bates (Sheffield Wednesday), Liam Cooper (Leeds), Mikey Devlin (Aberdeen), Charlie Mulgrew (Wigan), Stephen O'Donnell (Kilmarnock), Andrew Robertson (Liverpool), Greg Taylor (Kilmarnock)

Midfielders: Stuart Armstrong (Southampton), Ryan Christie (Celtic), Ryan Jack (Rangers), John McGinn (Aston Villa), Callum McGregor (Celtic), Kenny McLean (Norwich), Robert Snodgrass (West Ham), Scott McTominay (Manchester United)

Forwards: James Forrest (Celtic), Ryan Fraser (Bournemouth), Oliver McBurnie (Sheffield United), Steven Naismith (Hearts), Matt Phillips (West Brom) Johnny Russell (Sporting Kansas City)



Robertson, Armstrong, McGinn, McTominay and Forrest the stand outs for me there

The squad lacks depth overall, but there's some good players in there (Forrest over the past couple of seasons has really started to impress me)

Ryan Fraser is another I'd throw in that mix but the balance isn't there.

Did anyone get Euro 2020 tickets recently?

Got a last 16 game at Hampden.

Sons mate got two for same game.

When Tierney gets back I'd honestly play him as a left sided CB or on the right

Tierney playing out of position is better than not having him play at all

Instead of Mulgrew.
Definitely

Definitely

It's just so Scotland that two genuine generational talents have come through at the same time in the form of Robertson and Tierney, and they both play the same smegging position lol

I got a pair for the opening game in Rome, nice little weekend away there

If they're going to do it, 2020 would probably be their best chance

They are a team who I think are good enough to win something, but that doesn't guarantee that they will

It's an England side that I actually like watching though, which is probably the first time since the Sven Era

Personally I don't think we'll be ready to win stuff till 2024 or 26. Not saying that we will. But I reckon if we do it won't be till then.

Got tickets for Quarter Final in Munich and group game in Copenhagen.

Might head down the boozer for the Ireland game tonight

 

[ToffeeTim]

Matthew Kennedy, who was with us as youth player, has declared for NI. Eligible as he was born in Belfast. Will be available for selection from next month onwards.

Anyone know how he's playing these days? He's been in the SPL as far as I know?

England have a great generation of players right now, players such as Sancho, Sterling, Mount, Maddison, who are excellent. Although I do believe Belgium, Netherlands, France, Germany all have superior teams.....so it's up to Gareth Southgate to figure out how to beat those teams or England will find it very hard to win anything.

Up the Norn.

Oh and England... I guess them too.

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Sadly the pub I'm in has county cricket on instead of the match. Good luck to Ireland anyway

Turns those Swiss into fondue

'mon the Swiss
