@DanielHussey2 More idiotic to take off a keeper having a great game, for a smaller keeper. Also an 18 year old stepping up who looked utterly terrified while more seasoned players went hiding is shameful.

@theoldzealand Just shy of 50% of the last 16 spots are European, yet uefa still get a paltry 1/3 of the world cup spots

@DanMulhall Norway have had 28 years of football misery. They only now are getting their house in order after being in the doldrums for years.

@Paddy__Paddy @DanMulhall Scotland had not qualified for a world cup in 28 years before this one....and they are only there because of an utter implosion from Denmark rather than anything great that they did

@FabrizioRomano that's a shame. They had such a gruelling qualifying campaign to get there

@TheEuroFE Hopefully Uefa will learn from their shit show and not give home advantage in one off playoffs.

@Th3m00 @Cerebrone Denmark offered nothing when they played them. It's us Irish who this really hurts. We were two nil up on them and gifted them a way back

@hohdetsta7 @ZMSRex @Cerebrone Ireland and denmark wouldn't. Czechs wouldn't have got past those in a neutral venue. Blessed, unfairly, with two home games.

@FabrizioRomano Shouldn't have been there. Benefited massively, and unfairly from two home games. They stunk out both of those games but dragged matches to penalties. Ireland and Denmark would have comfortably beaten Czechia in a neutral venue, which is where playoffs should have been

@IrishPropaganda We blew it in Prague, but FAI, along with Polish and Danish FA should be really pushing to uefa the utter unfairness of playoffs. If they are one off they should be in a neutral venue. Czechia are there for one reason, the luck of two home draws. And look what they offered

@unnamedbutalone @NealGardner_ This, so much this. Czechia and Sweden benefitted massively from home advantage in playoffs. Utterly unfair system. Neither would have qualified in neutral venues. Infuriating

@saintsareus @henry_hill94 home advantage. In a neutral venue Czechia wouldn't have got past Ireland or Denmark. Playoffs were desperately unfair

@kevinhatchard The Czechs are there for one reason and one reason only, home advantage (and Manning and Browne!!!). It's completely unfair to have one off playoffs with one team having home advantage. Neutral venue in future

@o_reachtaire Qatar finished 4th from a 6 team group, yet still had another avenue to get to world cup. It's become much to easy for teams to qualify for AFC and Concecaf and therefore frankly dreadful sides qualify.

@philipslattery @IFBMedia He finished 4th because of one cock up. he utterly messed up at home to Israel when we were cruising and almost home and hosed. He panicked when Keane got injured. If he kept his head in that match we top that group
