UEFA Euro 2016 Qualifying Part 3

[HajdukSplit]

Hungary must have a better option somewhere, he was a emergency backup for Fulham last Year in the Championship, and was perhaps the worst goalie I've ever seen play at that level

Their other two keepers are backups at their clubs, albeit decent levels: Bogdan (Liverpool) and a backup keeper in La Liga

 

[Edo]

I wouldn't be shocked if Kolasinac, Spahic, and Lulic all got reds at some point during this game. Pretty remarkable how psycho all three of them are.

 

[HajdukSplit]

not a single shot on target I think in that half, minus the penalty kick. Bosnia had more territorial advantage towards the end of the half but haven't created even a half decent chance, couple long range shots that's it

 

[Edo]

Bosnia is a different team with Besic in midfield.

 

[HajdukSplit]

second striker on for BiH

Spahic lucky again

 

[HajdukSplit]

fantastic set piece by Ireland and good finish by Walters, Ireland all but through

 

[East Coast Bias]

Get in!!! Nice finish by Walters.

Aviva is rocking.

 

[HajdukSplit]

Long almost made it three, off balance though with Spahic on his back

 

[Bures Elbow]

Ireland is so bad, yet Bosnia is playing even worse.

 

[HajdukSplit]

three strikers on for BiH now, desperate times

 

[HajdukSplit]

Bosnia hit the post, would have been too late anyway had it gone in I feel

 

[HajdukSplit]

Ireland win 3:0 on aggregate and qualify for back to back Euros. The Bosnians were disappointing in both legs, however looking at the way they did in the groups the Irish also deserved it more with their results against Germany while Bosnia labored in an easier group.

 

[Live in the Now]

This world would be a better place without referees.

The world is better without pieces of garbage who chant during moments of silence being at the Euros.

The world is better without pieces of garbage who chant during moments of silence being at the Euros.

I agree, but it's pretty trivial compared to some of the stuff I've seen during past qualifications and friendlies throughout international soccer games. At least these guys were cheering for their team and not mocking somebody's race, religion, or ethnicity like we often see.

 

[Ceremony]

There is no defence for interrupting silences at football games.

 

[TheMoreYouKnow]

If you look at the talent on the Irish team it's a whale of a coaching job by O'Neill to qualify. Yes it's an easy tournament to qualify for in relative terms but really it's not like Ireland are really more talented than Scotland and they're comfortably less talented than Poland and obviously Germany as well.

In the playoff, Bosnia had the better players but were the worse team for sure and that's down to coaching.

 

[Savi]

Tonight's Belgium v Spain game has been cancelled due to a terrorist threat.

 

[NHL Dude 120]

So Ukraine vs Slovenia and Denmark vs Sweden today and also UEFA announced the possible seedings.

[HajdukSplit]

Croatia "B" totally dominate Russia "B" in Rostov, 3:1 win with the goals coming from Kalinic, Brozovic and Mandzukic. Russia made 10 changes to the side which beat Portugal while Croatia started only 3-4 regulars and 4 domestic league players. Maybe calling them a B-team is harsh but it certainly wasn't the best team

 

[Bon Esprit]

Germany-Netherlands in Hannover just got cancelled. Many thousands have to leave the stadium.

Bomb threat apparently.

Russia made 10 changes to the side which beat Portugal while Croatia started only 3-4 regulars and 4 domestic league players. Maybe calling them a B-team is harsh but it certainly wasn't the best team

This game showed that Russia has no decent central and left defenders in the reserve

 

[HajdukSplit]

The final two playoff games kick off in about 30 minutes, most eyes will be on Denmark-Sweden with it being a close tie while Ukraine are in Maribor with a two goal lead

For Denmark all three substitutes, who made a big impact on the first leg, start the second leg (Hojbjerg, Jorgensen and Poulsen). Sweden remain unchanged

Slovenia surprisingly have Ilicic on the bench but add two attacking players to their lineup in Bezjak and Pecnik. Ukraine only make one change and its defensive midfielder Stepanenko returning from suspension

 

[Power Man]

Fake threats imo

Just a bunch of clowns who think it's funny

 

[theaub]

Fake threats imo

Just a bunch of clowns who think it's funny

I mean, they found a truck bomb outside the stadium so I'm going with 'not fake' on this one
