Tough qualifying group with Germany, Poland and Ireland.
>>
>>68849517

lol no it isn't, it's by far the most popular sport
>>
Also low population and shit league don't exactly help matters.

They're inferior to the Irish, as with all things

Your success is coming from a fucking mafia football association.

They were probably in the toughest qualification group out of all the home nations, but their loss to Georgia is what fucked them over the most.

Now that's even funnier than your previous post. Mafia football association? What, did they threaten Spain's football association with vendetta if they don't let us win?

meme magic will prevail

In the toughest qualifying group, most importantly choked vs Gworgia and lost to Germany twice while we miraculously picked up 4 points from them.

Reminder that the following countries qualified

>Albania
>Iceland
>Northern Ireland
>Ireland
>Wales

How can this failure be blamed on population or a shit league?
>>
>>68849761
It's been explained countless times, they had the toughest group.

And that's a lame ass excuse used by hooligans to justify going apeshit during games.
>>
>>68849517
No, you're thinking of Ireland, where Gaelic football and hurling are the most popular sports, soccer is around the same level as (if not slightly behind) rugby union, as well as us having a lot of successful golfers and boxers.

Despite this, we finished ahead of the Scots in our qualifying group.
>>
>>68849805
Sorry, I forgot the meme arrow in front of us and we
>>
>>68849766
It must be frustrating for the Scots that they were so close to coming third in that group, and everyone from that group who qualified has gone onto the last 16.
>>
>>68849498
They couldn't beat Georgia
>>
>>68849717
This still has nothing to do with how good their team is

A corrupt FA is a detriment to them if anything
>>
>>68849805
Please stop this meme you are embarrassing.

Ha yeah, good Scots.

And we sent our best and brightest criminals to Australia too.

I don't think they even have a professional football league anymore
>>
>>68849937
>literally every parish of over 100 people has a GAA club
>there are 20 teams in the League of Ireland
>you get about the same attendance at an LoI match as you would for a club Gaelic football game, if not less
Please tell me how popular soccer is again though. Fat lads in the local wearing Liverpool tops is nice and all, but that isn't really participation in the sport, any more than watching an American film is a contribution to the Irish film industry.
>>
>>68849577

Northern Ireland?
>>
>>68849937

Its not a meme, they have the same population as us and a proper league and its their only sport. Here we have no league or youth development and soccer is way behind other sports in terms of participation.

Do you think they would have beaten Italy or Germany when they couldn't get a shot on goal against Poland?

All three teams which qualified from their group (Poland, Germany, Ireland), also qualified for 1/8 final. I think that says something. So they were pretty unlucky, they could advance from some other group.
