Moldova, Kazakhstan and maybe also Luxembourg or Georgia through the playoffs. I want all the underdogs in the EURO.

[–] ogqozo@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Also Estonia will likely play against the top teams in the play-offs, it's really weird but they can win twice and somehow qualify for Euro after getting 1 point in the qualifying group.

Luxembourg and Georgia cant both qualify 🤓 plus my little goat Greece will qualify from the playoffs

[–] derneueMottmatt@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

🤓 that's why I wrote "or".

[–] Wastyvez@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Moldova needs to win next game or they're out. Kazakhstan had things going in their favor by Denmark beating Slovenia as they play Slovenia next. They also need to win in order to qualify directly. If not they'll play against Luxembourg and Georgia in the playoffs, meaning at least two of these teams aren't going to make it to the final round.

Armenia too

Can we get Moldova bandwagon flair

[–] AndreaDelleSite@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

That would be very exciting to see ngl

[–] tulikettuuuu@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Imagine that, everyone imagines Czechia and Poland through before the qualifying cycle started and we may actually have Albania and Moldova into the EURO... if it goes this way, I'd love to see it though, not lying :DDDDD

[–] Wastyvez@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Imagine the two heavy favourites in a group that was considered one of the weakest in this qualifying cycle both failing to qualify.

[–] Gdeath_@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I'm glad Poland is losing, maybe we can get rid of this moron Kulesza, Lewandowski, Probierz and try to make something better for the future, this is the most unlikable Polish NT during my whole life, I stopped even watching these dogs

Kazakhstan, too. If they beat Slovenia they qualify. It’s that simple for them.

Wishing both teams all the best - I love seeing new countries debut at major tournaments.

Not that it is a problem or anything, but it would be funny to see Kazakhstan playing in the Euros lol. Putting the Eur in Eurasia.

[–] Megido_Thanatos@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Both case (Kazakhstan abd Moldova) are epic tho

With Kazakhstan, its their geographic and for Moldova, they could become the lowest fifa ranking nation ever qualified for Euro (this need a fact check but I dont remember any team that below 100th ever play at Euro, Moldova currently at 157th, even lower than some Southeast Asia nation lol)

[–] folieadeux6@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

What happened in these draws that on one side there are groups like Denmark-Slovenia-Kazakhstan-Finland and on the other England-Italy-Ukraine-Macedonia?

From what I’ve seen Kazakhstan have been terrible, barely beating San Marino of all teams in either leg.

[–] shaj_hulud@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Hungary pot 1.

[–] teemuselanteenvene@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Kazakhstan has been decent from what I've seen over two matches against Finland. Beat us at our place after what can only be described as a terrible performance by Finland. Doesn't take anything away from their accomplishments though. Don't forget they also beat Denmark at home.

[–] RamPamPam8@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

As an outsider who isn't used to this format or countries, seeing this play out looks so fun

The idea of never having qualified in your life and depending on your own will and beating down a giant so that you can get your country the chance of their lives, and probably even move a younger generation into playing better and better just moves my soul

Such romanticism, such manlyhood. You go Moldova I believe in you 🇲🇩🇲🇩🇲🇩🇲🇩🇲🇩

You know how you call up the best players from your nation to try to make the best playing team and get the good results? It turns out that because the polandball is real representation of Poland, which is really upside-down, if you call up the best players, they actually turn out to play the shittest football possible, because they "nerf" each other's abilities.

[–] bambinoquinn@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

It's really sad for me that if you put ireland in place of Moldova, i think they get 7 points from that group. Fair play to Moldova

Monday is going to be a good time.

That's a hell of a group of life
