With an experienced goalie, a top class midfield, a decent defence and some forward options, they’ll be tough to beat and maybe can at last become the final GBI team to shatter that R16 glass ceiling — and beyond. 15/

I should mention the Land of my Grandmothers too. A crushing and fine 7-1 win over a dire Macedonia side.
Hopefully a good playoff draw and they too will join their neighbours. Here’s hoping 🏴 13/

The clock rolled past 90, deep into added time. And then…there coulda been no more deserving a man than erstwhile Arsenal superstar Kieran Tierney, who after years of pain delivered a thriller of a goal. 11/

Suddenly however, with minutes to go, Shankland gave them the lead, only for the dream to die soon after as Dorgu equalised. 10/

Bizarrely the Brown Enveloped One soon after then decided to atone for his sins by sending off Kristensen for not-fouling McGinn, another shocker of a decision, and just as baffling 🤯 7/

Magnificent and early overhead kick opener for McTominay, unquestionably a world class player right now.
Young Ben Doak was excellent, but soon forced off by injury. Yet…if fit, he could be one of the stars next summer 🌟 3/

It would be amazing to see Ireland at the World Cup again, as they build to their first ever home Euros. Here’s hoping the boys in green deliver in the playoffs next March 🇮🇪 10/

Today’s final word once again however goes to our brilliant sister island Ireland’s diamonds.
I’ve written them off for a long time, but in downing a fine Hungary side they achieved what few thought possible — a playoff place by right 🤩 9/

Lastly, Kane delivered late in the game to rescue am occasionally disjointed England performance, aided by a fine cross from Rashford, who did his chances no harm. 8/

Handed a coveted start, that main man Jude showed some fine touches, but sometimes didn’t influence the game in ways he’d like, so it’s up in the air who will start at 10. Long way to go though… 7/
