You Qualify! You Qualify! You Qualify! Everybody Qualifies! Euro 2016 Qualifying Rounds

great hold up play by lewa and lays it off for the onrushing mila (the guy on for milik lol) to smash in the second for poland!!

mila was supposed to transfer to chicago last year but ownership nixed it :(

vamos polska

what is CMON in polish

if ever there was a time outside of *london nightclub* for rtc to lose it completely

Apparently it's "c'mon."

I'm told this is the first EVER Polish national team won against Germany.

"Polska do boju!" is what I'm seeing via Twitter, or "Poland to fight!"

xp yup, also first Germany away loss in qualifying in 16 years

jesus

iceland!

We're tanking it and I'm loving it.

gylfi on fire right now

Play stopped as a drone flies right above the pitch, dangling an Albanian flag right above it! This is incredible. Crowd going mad.

Nick Ames @NickAmes82 · 13m 13 minutes ago

Mitrovic, jumps, grabs the flag as it falls – and all hell has now broken lose here. Players and officials on both sides fighting.

Nick Ames @NickAmes82 · 12m 12 minutes ago

This is disgraceful. Albanians have now fled the pitch, pelted by objects. Serbians following. Never seen anything like this.

video of the drone:

That's kind of amazing.

deadspin has more video http://screamer.deadspin.com/havoc-at-serbia-albania-as-match-interrupted-by-flag-ca-1646284088?utm_campaign=socialflow_deadspin_twitter&utm_source=deadspin_twitter&utm_medium=socialflow

Northern Ireland 2-0 up away to Greece. May be the end of Ranieri if anyone can afford the compensation.

O'Shea in the 94th minute!

I cant

I went and showered and came back and that had still happened

Scotland v Ireland game is going to be a belter.

13 Scots on the pitch, 10 Irishmen.

...9 I mean.

13 Brits u mean hey

fullest vid i've found of last night's scenes fwiw (or at least the aftermath of)

not the best of lyfe gigs for the man in the albanian mascot suit it has to be said

Ouch (xp)

heh lest we forget like

Bizarrely, the announcer at the stadium played Cher's 'Believe' in an attempt to calm fans during the break, to no avail. After a delay of around half an hour, Atkinson abandoned the game.

You don't think it can get any better and then the Prime Minister of Albania's brother gets accused of being caught in the VIP box holding the drone's remote control...

I like the way the "who piloted the drone?" angle implies that the Serbian fans' response was proportionate

Ranieri has been sacked following the greatest night in Faroese football history.

Would really love a competitive Greece vs Cyprus fixture

You just want an easy win for Cyprus

obv

it'd be like that referendum youse lot had, but with more knee-high challenges

and more independence

:D

:(

hero wayne

fuck off england

welbeck's shit as well

so much covering-up of awfulness

ban england

for whom are we proudest

san marino draw! against estonia
faeroes win! in greece
liechtenstein win! in moldova

probably the faeroes but all 3 fairly wondrous

if someone says 'england' they're getting trenchant lux keep the clink alived off of ilx

Gibraltar restricting Germany to four wasn't a bad effort either.

expect legal action next time i see another incorrect use of clink

Slavan Bilic explaining to Glenn Hoddle how ladies smuggle flares into grounds

Netherlands currently 0-1 to Turkey with twenty minutes to go. Would mean they were 4th in the group after five games.

Republic of Ireland: Given; Coleman, Wilson, O'Shea, Brady; Whelan, McCarthy, McGeady, Hoolahan, Walters; Keane

Poland: Fabiański; Olkowski, Szukała, Glik, Wawrzyniak; Peszko, Krychowiak, Jodłowiec, Rybus; Lewandowski, Milik

Steven Fletcher, first hat-trick by a Scotland player in 46 years... we haven't played a team as bad as Gibraltar in 46 years tho tbf.

Dunno, I reckon the Faroes were though by everybody to be as bad as Gibraltar when we were struggling to draw with them.

nice hit

ireland are dreadful... ought to have a vague edge in mobility and technique in midfield but nowhere near it. dead balls wasted, coleman and brady giving no overlap, defence just punting it back to pol

COYBIG

This feeling. Pride??

RTE Player cannae take the strain

This team is a constant reproach to that horrible old Italian witch

bit harsh

she was just the translator afaik

Was a really nice experience from kickoff tonight to watch that game knowing that we were going to do it. Total lack of mental fragility.

Lol

Yeah it was a solid performance. Everyone did their job. McLean was a bit of a lunatic when he came on tho

He shouldn't get near the plane, nor any plane. Total lack of maturity and I've a real dislike of him since his hatchet tackle against the poles. I think he may be a cunt.

o zlatan

ffs

yep

I mean its not the easiest group but its not the toughest either. Belgium were disappointing in the WC and despite all their players they still haven't gelled. Besides The Zlatan, Sweden are a bunch of journeymen and are beatable. I'd fancy our chances to hold the Italians to a draw too.

Belgium are ranked number 1 in the world. That hás to say something, doesn't it?

Group D is maybe harder, none of the others are.

The prospect of Wales beating England is quite likely, I guess?

i see no reason why not, already joked to the kids about Bale vs Rooney

On a legacy basis it looks bad, but this is prob the worst Italy team of all time? Can't tell if Belgium or Sweden are exactly the kind of technical team who murder Ireland or exactly the kind of overrated rabble that we beat.
