If we qualify from Group D (as opposed to via the playoffs) we have a 50% chance of the Spain game being in Dublin. Note I am assuming the chances of Spain not qualifying directly at 0% above.

If both qualify automatically from their qualifying groups there's a draw to see who gets home advantage in the match between the two teams

Our group, all matches will be played in Bilbao or Dublin. So 2 matches per match day. The match day where we would have to play Spain, one of us would obviously need to travel. I think if Spain and Ireland both qualify, they would do a draw to say which team gets the 3rd game at home. For example: Spain Czech Republic Sweden Republic of Ireland Match Day 1 Bilbao: Spain vs. Czech Dublin: Republic of Ireland vs. Sweden Match Day 2 Bilbao: Spain vs. Sweden Dublin: Republic of Ireland vs. Czech Match Day 3 Bilbao: Czech vs. Sweden Dublin: Republic of Ireland vs. Spain |

Clearly didn't get my point. I think you go out to win the group but let's be realistic as well. Maybe aim was the wrong word but people are expecting us to come 3rd. That's why we are 3rd seeds. 2nd is bonus territory. |

Wait, so if two hosts sharing a group qualify but one comes through the playoffs, they automatically have to play the other host away? It's only if they both qualify automatically that there's a draw? That sucks a bit but I see the rationale behind it.

Didn't think it mattered how you qualified. On uefa it doesn't mention anything about how you qualified: Every qualified host would be guaranteed two home games in the group phase, but there would be no such guarantee for the knockout stage. Host nations that qualify will be automatically placed in the following groups. If both paired nations qualify, a draw will be held to determine which is at home in their direct encounter.

"19.03 The first-named team is considered as the home team for administrative purposes. Host association teams are entitled to play a minimum of two group matches at home. If both hosts within one group qualify directly, a draw will decide which team will play three matches at home" Seems *directly* means other than through the playoffs. The draw for the finals actually takes place before the playoffs.

would that have been 2 months after Portugal winning the Euros? Sounds like an awful time to have played them so

Since 2004 the Swiz have qualified for 4 consecutive world cups and 3/4 European championships. They are very consistent in qualifying and go about it quietly. If anything I would say they are underrated.

I’d they played Belgium another 5 times I’d doubt they’d win by more than a couple of goals and would loose more than they’d win. If they played TE another 5 times they’d probably go unbeaten winning most (without conceding:) ) They are a much better team than us at the minute but are not world beaters. We don’t play them for almost a year and we have lots of room to improve. Not sure then have.

A possibility of three of our group matches being played in Dublin? |

Has it already been decided that if we both qualify, we get Spain?

No Spain and Ireland both get 2 at home and 1 away, the only draw that would be needed would be to see if we play Spain in Dublin or Bilbao. If we were to play them in Dublin, we'd have Sweden/Czech in Bilbao (in your example). No chance we get all 3 at home.

We'll get beaten by Spain regardless so I'd prefer to play them in Bilbao. Also Bilbao is hardly a hardcore Spanish supporting city.

Yeah defo...I heard somewhere that this would be the last game but i'm unsure. If so they might have already qualified which would be good or needing a win in the final game against them with them needing something also would be a disaster

Ah I see. I thought the guaranteed thing and mention of a draw for the direct match between the 2 meant one team could get 3. But now I get you and it's more fair that way. Also think it would be good not to play all games in dublin. Probably harder to get tickets than Bilbao!
