Man, all this talk about the qualifying rounds for the 2016 Euros is making me nostalgic.
Do Dutch people remember these qualifiers?
>>66071774
I was young so I remember 0.
Pretty impressed how far did Ireland go in the WC?
>neverlands
I rememmber it actually. First time in a while we got to go to the world cup-
>>66071816
in 2002 we got into the last 16, we drew against Spain and it went into penalties and they won (even though we had three players starting out of position)
However, our best player Roy Keane had a big falling out with the manager Mick McCarthy right before the world cup and dropped out of the team
Our team was actually really good during the early 2000s, some say that if Roy stayed in the team we might have won (he was our biggest goal-scorer during the qualifiers). There's also the fact that if we won against Spain we would have played South Korea in the quarters
so who knows, we might have hypothetically made the semis that year

>we might have hypothetically made the semis that year
Wasn't that the year of the Korean Refs?
Doubt it they would allow you to go that far lmao
>>66072039
aye, I remember Spain had like three goals disallowed in that game or something like that
but you never know, we could have persuaded the refs a different way

kill all taigs
>>66072154
t. the fountain
when was your last world cup? when are you going to get into the scottish premiership?
lmao #pleasehelpunionists #teachthemhowtoplaysports
yes I remember and I also remember not really enjoying or caring about the following world cup due to butthurt
>going from a top 4 position at a major tournament to not qualifying in just 2 years time
boy I sure hope that never happens again
Ohne Holland fahr'n wir zur WM~

>boy I sure hope that never happens again
nobody tell him
>>66075509
Speak human, you nazi.
Also fuck you because Messi should have won ;_;
>>66074547
Yeah, good luck in euro 2016
>>66074547
Championships without the Netherlands aren't worth watching anyway, the 2002 WC was utter shite thanks to massive Worst Korean refball.
>>66081472
The 2014 World Cup was the first world cup that wasn't totally shit that I've watched in fairness. Been some bad tournaments, 2010 was even worse than 02.
>>66081472
Nice damage control

Is this movie any good lads?
>>66071966
>some say that if Roy stayed in the team we might have won
literally nobody said that shut up
>>66081835
Yes.
Groups look pretty fun this year even though we wont make it out. Group A is the only one that seems boring. (Also F if you dont care about based Iceland)
Why qualify for a tournament that will not take place?
>>66081916
No kidding. It's just mediocre enough to get Romania's hopes up. We can't even complain that it was a group of death like in 2008, 1984 or 1970.
1970 was all kinds of insane, though.

England and Wales in the same group. Should be a laugh.
>>66082039
If only the Irelands were in the same group too
>>66082064
Imagine this
>Romania, Hungary and Slovakia in the same group
>Russia, Ukraine, Germany, Poland in the same group
>Englel, Ulster, Ireland and Wales
>>66082064
Ireland were in Pot 4 along with Wales, so they couldn't be drawn too.
>>66082196
Norn Iron were in Pot 4 too.
>>66082196
>>66082208
Oh shit you're right.
>>66082179
Iceland Sweden in the same group would be cool too, even better if they advance instead of us. Fuck Hamrén desu.
>>66082362
>sweden hating itself
In other news, England has shitty weather and German cuisine is kinda meh
