Unusually, the well-known national team needs a loss to qualify for the European Championship
Believe it or not, Ireland need a loss against the Netherlands. Reason? In this way, the hopes for a possible qualification in “Euro 2024” remain alive. Ireland are in 4th place in Group B and mathematically there is no chance of cutting their ticket through the top 2 places in the group.
Their next match is against the Netherlands and this is where the key that can open the door to qualification lies. A defeat of the Irish would give the Netherlands the opportunity to ensure its presence in the European Championship. In this way, the Netherlands would leave its place empty in the “play off” of the League of Nations. A place that can be occupied by Ireland, as a winner of their group in League B of the League of Nations.
An unusual scenario, which is expected to bring one of the strangest matches in the history of football. The result of the match between Ireland and the Netherlands is already known without the need to play the match.
