^^ Yeah, also we should never forget the "irish guy-croatian girl nipple incident" :lol:

Ireland's name should be written down first in any tournament!

:se: vs :dk: xfacepalm xfacepalm

Well, it will be very interesting at least. The scandinavians "giants" that both are far behind their own ambitions.
I have some memories to this match... I remember a scandalous qualification match for Euro 2008 between these two teams that was interrupted and cancelled after a Denmark fan had attacked the referee. Then I remember the Euro 2004 when they met each other and (intentionally) drew 2:2 to qualify for quarter final and knock out Italy :D
I think Denmark is favoured in this match. After all they were unlucky that Albania were awarded 3 points in that scandal match against Serbia otherwise they would qualified directly. Sweden just looked horribly especially against Austria. Also against Russia they didnt perform well. However, I expect close matches but Denmark is gonna win in my opinion. I personally cross my fingers for Sweden!

:ua: vs :sl: - I think this will be "easy" for Ukraine. They are much more solid and better than Slovenia

:ba: vs :ie: - I've got no idea. Bosnia have a more attractive playing style but Ireland can defend much better. So it's a contrasty match, I like it. Crossing my fingers for Ireland xpray

:no: vs :hu: - xyes Best possible draw for Norway. I think they are the better side and they will beat Hungary

We have a good chance against Hungary, but I think Norway was also the best possibility for Hungary, so I don't think this will be easy.

Hope Sweden wins against Denmark, because the Euro needs Zlatan (and I really like Sweden in general). :)

Ibrahimović is so full of himself & Hungary was in a joke group. The latter two don't need an explanation :lol:

2016 UEFA EURO Qualification Play-Offs 1st leg

:se: vs. :dk: 2-1
:ua: vs. :sl: 2-0
:ba: vs. :ie: 1-1
:no: vs. :hu: 0-1

I hoped for :se::ua::ie: and :no:, well that doesn't look bad at all. I know Denmark only is in need of an 1-0 on tuesday and they would also be great at a Euro, but Ibra missed the latest WC's already, so at least he has to show at every Euro during his career imo.

I wished :sl: would've been drawed against :ba:, so that at least one more ex-yugoslavian republic compete in France next year. Now it seems we won't have both, because I see Ireland winning their home match. Having them and the Ukraine is great, though.

Hungary deserves to qualify, just because they missed a big tournament since 1986, but Norway is also waiting a long time and I always cheer for the scandinavic countries, if possible. However, I won't be mad with Hungary and I think this will happen, Norway should've won against Italy to avoid the play-offs. They faced them too many times in the younger past.

As all 8 teams in the play-offs would fit into the tournament I don't really care about who's qualifying, since all have some players and/or the fans to do a decent performance next year. I only have slight preferences.

Congrats :hu: xup

I wish :no: would have qualified but apparently Hungary was more efficient in these two matches.
If :no: played today like they did against Croatia few months ago they would have beaten Hungary.. I'm pretty sure!

Nevermind, Hungary as a nation with a huge football tradition is gonna be an interesting participant for next year's tournament
