No, they wouldn't.

People posted insipid stuff like this 4 years ago too then the US advanced to the round of 32 and Portugal went home.

Ireland isn't that good. They lost a play-in game 5-1 to Denmark.
IF there was combined Ireland and Northern Ireland then yes.
I'm Welsh btw.....

This tourney in Europe will favor European sides but the final 8 will likely be a Concacaf, 4-5 Euros and the rest south American.
Basically like usual.

I am rooting for Belgium.

Chile would have easily qualified in UEFA.
They made it to the Finals of the Confed Cup by beating Portugal and lost 0-1 to Germany.

They've also beaten Serbia and Sweden in the last 3 months.

Not in South America. There are no weak sides in that region. They would have a tough time with Uruguay , Chile, Peru, and Columbia. And obviously, they are far outclassed by Brazil and Argentina.

Who is everyone rooting for since US sucks? I’ll probably pull for Mexico just like Donovan.


BTW who’s going to World Cup 2026?

Ireland couldn't finish top 4 in Africa and South America. They were flat out embarrassed by Denmark in the qualifiers and don't have a single good player (Denmark have one - Eriksen).

This is a match England should win by c.4-0. But will they have a meltdown?

Well, it's currently 1-1. A big reason is absolutely rubbish officiating! The penalty awarded to Tunisia was rubbish! Kane was tackled at least 3 times illegally that the ref missed. It's been absolutely dreadful officiating.
