Did you bet tricky? Do you know what the odds were?

Germany aren't going to lose to Georgia, so it's going to be irrelevant.
Pub I was in erupted when Poland equalised. I guess they either (a) had forgotten we were beating Germany or (b) could see a last-gasp Germany equaliser which, while Scotland were winning, meant we would have been out.
Still a pain in the hole, especially given how scrappy it was.
Just like in the game in Gelsenkirchen, the Germans were amazingly lax in front of goal. Stat came up shortly after half time that we'd had the only shot on target in the game to date! Amazing stuff; was like watching a San Marino game at times. We could barely hold on to the ball, the Germans' pressing was superb - and yet we won.
Last 20 minutes still wasn't a patch on Dudelange v UCD though. :)
It looks like it was 11/2 for an Ireland win.Quote:

Group C
Ukraine - would prefer they beat Spain and so be the best 3rd place. Then no risk we have to play them
Group E
Slovenia - we will be seeded above now no matter what
Group F
Hungary - Currently top placed 3rd so automatic qualifiers - we could out seed them if we beat Poland and they draw with Greece but if we beat Poland it wont even matter
Group G
Sweden - we wont be seeded above
Group H
Croatia - we wont be seeded above
Norway - i think there is a good chance even if we lose to Poland that we will be seeded above Norway if they fail to beat Italy.
Group I
Albania - we will definitely be seeded above
Denmark - we will be seeded above if we draw, but wont be if we lose ....

A bit of tactical analysis on tonight's game there if anyone's interested - as I seek to move away from my usual junior soccer output :p
Yes German go home with their tail between their legs. ;)
I'm home a lot later, and a lot more drunk, from the pub than expected.
I sold my damn ticket to the match last night because I couldn't get a babysitter.
Feeling sick in so many ways.
Is there going to be a slight babyboom nine months from today? you Randy chaps.

Thanks Alsn, but I think tactical analysis goes out the window. Concede chances but no goals, make one chance all night, win. Not complaining mind you, that's the beauty of football.Quote:

Randolph had a swagger and arrogance about him tonight that I loved. I like to read a keeper's body language and he was on the money tonight. O'Shea was class, Wes likewise bar one brain fart, Keogh made a monster intervention in the first half and Christie recovered from a nervous start. I thought McCarthy didn't do enough in first half but had a good second, as did everyone really.
A bit of a flukey win but so what. 14 years waiting. The nation needs a reminder that there's another sport in this country.
I never seen a ground erupt after a goal like that before. It was amazing.Quote:

I had seen we had not won in the last 6 games or so which kind of put me off, I mean it looked like we would never win.
Looks like the match had just started, I think maybe a late rush of patriotic money from Ireland shortened the odds?

Will go down as one of the great Irish results.
Have both Ireland and NI ever both qualified for a major tournament?
Not for the same tournament in the same year methinks!
Yeah and we won it

Don't think we had to qualify though? Just exist?
