So far, Ireland got only three points in the qualifying rounds for Euro - in the June match against Gibraltar (3-0). Apart from this match, they lost all the others - twice against France, twice against Greece and once against the Netherlands.
The Irish no longer have a chance to advance through the qualifying rounds. If they win the remaining two games in their group, they might be third in the group at best.
But there’s hope.
Ireland still have a chance to make the play-offs thanks to the Nations League. But for this to happen, there cannot be more than seven teams ahead of it in the Nations League rankings that do not advance in the qualifying rounds. This means that it is more profitable for the Irish to help their rivals and lose their next game. .
