The Irish would even benefit from a defeat against the Netherlands to seek an impossible ticket to the Euro
Repechages and Nations League push the greens to even seek a defeat that could benefit them
Crazy car if the Republic of Ireland wants to be in the next Euro Cup of Nationswhich will be held next summer in Germany.
According to ‘Marca’, Ireland would even benefit from a defeat against the Netherlands to seek a victory that could take them to the play-offs.. The greens are now fourth in their group.
The team from the ’emerald island’ no longer has a chance of entering the Euro directly after their 0-2 defeat against Greece at home, but the 0-1 victory of the Netherlands in Athens has meant that Eire retains a remote chance of getting into the play-offs with an astonishing concatenation of results. However, more difficult things have been seen…
Stephen Kenny’s men are fourth in group B with six points. France is already qualified, the Netherlands has 12, the same as the Greek team.
Ronald Koeman’s ‘Oranje’ have the particular average in their favor with those from Hellas and are ahead in the table. On November 18, Ireland visits Amsterdam in its last qualifying match and it would be in their best interest to lose to dream of the play-offs. A madness that comes from their classification in the Nations League.
And the Netherlands, in group A of the Nations, could directly enter the Euro and would create an extra place that the Irish could take advantage of, in group B.
Meanwhile Greece has the play-off guaranteed through League C. However, it would be impossible. Ireland, to get into the playoff, you need no more than seven teams from routes A and B ahead of you in the playoffs via Nations. A chimera. Dublin believes in miracles… For now.
