If I question Liam Scales ability to play intl football, refer me to this signature & his peformance at home at lb vs Port on Nov 13 2025.

No. I want to avoid anything that leads to Turkey away. Thats my bottom line. I'd be fine with any of the pot 2s really for the reasons in my earlier post.
The universe can do whatever it wants with those statements.
I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
Given how important a game it is i wouldn't be surprised if whoever we face pull a Bosnia on us and hold the game in some small foggy town far from an airport and at the end of a long and ****ty road.Originally Posted by OMTY

Bring Back Belfast Celtic F.C.
I watched Wales - North Macedonia last night …..North Macedonia were brutal.
I’m resigned to the fact that we’ll end up with Wales and Denmark (away).
Slovakia are no great shakes so I’d take them in a heartbeat. I’ve not seen much of Czech Republic in recent years but no standout stars in their squad so 50/50 games against both of them.
I think Wales would be a tricky encounter but Poland away is the toughest one. A fit Lewandowski is a scary prospect.
Couldnt find a dedicated thread. So we have earned the highest points of this window and we climb to 59th. If the FAI were to do an extensive strategic plan, where should the ranking target be, in what time scale. Whatever about knowing a bit on LoI and where we could be I am well off the pace in looing at FIFA rankings and having an informed opinion. Any nerds have some thoughts?
Our friendlies in general should be home against USA (14th in the world), Iran (20th), Ecuador (23rd), Australia (26th), Canada (27th), Panama (30th) or against a big scalp like we did against Belgium where a draw is doable. Stuff like that. In general, you get a tonne of points for continental competitions, so when we don't qualify for the euros or the world cup, we sink compared to teams that have qualified.
Switzerland got 4th in the world by not having friendlies to keep their average higher. Wales similarly gamed the system in the same way. But pretty sure they changed the system to fix that.

key is home/away isn't factored in or margin of victory/defeat
