The hosts will be appointed at the UEFA Executive Committee meeting in Dublin, Republic of Ireland on 2–3 December 2018. All 55 UEFA nations are eligible to enter the competition, and with the hosts (or co-hosts) qualifying automatically, a maximum of 54 (or 53 if co-hosts) teams will compete in the qualifying competition to determine the remaining 11 (or 10 if co-hosts) spots in the final tournament. The qualifying competition consists of two rounds: Qualifying group stage: The teams are drawn into nine groups of five or six teams. Each group is played in home-and-away round-robin format. The nine group winners qualify directly for the final tournament, while the four (or two if co-hosts) best runners-up (not counting results against the sixth-placed team) advance to the play-offs. Play-offs: The four (or two if co-hosts) teams are drawn into two (or one if co-hosts) ties to play home-and-away two-legged matches to determine the last two (or one if co-hosts) qualified teams. The UEFA administration seeds the teams for the qualifying group stage draw and
for the final draw in accordance with the UEFA Under-21 national team coefficient
rankings. The draw for the qualifying group stage will be held on 11 December 2018 in Nyon, Switzerland. All qualifying matches are played on the following dates, as listed in the 2018–24
FIFA International Match Calendar. Qualifying group stage

We have pretty much zero chance of qualifying. If Kenny gets the team playing decent football and looking like they are a better side than Iceland and Sweden then thats big progress - we should be looking to gradually move up the seeding pots so that the talented u17s/u19s groups can benefit in future.

That u21 team beat their Italian equivalents when they were at u19 level. Who knows how strong any of these other squads are really? I'd imagine most don't have a notion, myself included.

One major problem with the text in bold. Kenny is not around for the entire campaign. He will either be gone as early as March 2020 (halfway through the campaign) or at the latest August 2020, neither exit date is conducive with the preparation needed for a side to play "decent football and looking like they are a better side" or to "gradually move up the seeding pots". The tough draw and management set up makes the task - set by the FAI - even more difficult. I expect, because of what I just said, Kenny will fail to live up to expectations at u21 level which will thus feed into the pressure of the senior job when he takes over. All in all a recipe for an unholy mess.

The FAI have managed to pack the schedule so that nine of the ten qualifiers are played by March 2020. Obviously the final game has to be played on the last match day in October 2020. This will be the only game not managed by Stephen Kenny. March 24: Luxembourg (H) September 6: Armenia (H) September 10: Sweden (A) October 10: Italy (H) October 15: Iceland (A) November 14: Armenia (A) November 19: Sweden (H) March 26: Iceland (H) March 31: Luxembourg (A) October 13: Italy (A) |

Obviously hoping they'll have qualified by then with the Italy away game last as well. Play offs 9–17 November. This all seems so poorly thought out, if Kenny is happy with his backroom team then you'd imagine they'll move to senior with him, it's completely disruptive. ------------- Blog: http://afalsefirstxi.blogspot.ie/" rel="nofollow - A False First XI Twitter: @afalsefirstxi Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/afalsefirstxi/" rel="nofollow - A False First XI |

Especially if Mick does well and gets the senior team qualified for Euro 2020 and fancies a crack at WC22? At least then we'd keep an experienced manager in charge of the senior team for what is normally a tougher tournament to qualify for (with just over half the qualifying spots up for grabs compared to the Euros) and SK gets at least a full campaign in with the U-21's instead of leaving them in the lurch at the business end of the campaign with a possible play-off still to come. It's a win-win for all concerned surely. ------------- The nation holds it's breath...YES, WE'RE THERE!!! |

I didn't realise that he might leave the u21s when the decision was made at first. Seems mad that they might be qualified and he would leave them before the last game and with the chance to manage them in the tournament. Surely he would just double job if possible?

I don't think it's as tough a group as the Irish media claimed yesterday. Both Sweden and Iceland failed to qualify for the under 21 finals in 2019 (like ourselves). As a fourth seed, it would be a tough enough group anyway, no matter who we were playing.

Trying to get us into the Toulon tournament next summer, which would be a brilliant move. Would be interesting to see the number of underage games we play in comparison to other nations - particularly England. This was one area that they've focused on hugely in the last few years and ensured they have presence at every age grade. Under 20 being a case in point, something we just don't bother with.

As above, plus as it's before the League of Ireland season kicks off, organising this "unofficial" game against the Ireland Amateur side won't impact any home-based team, whereas it would disrupt the players' & clubs' schedule in the UK/elsewhere. Doubtful that UK-based players would be released for a training camp and game.

Jaysis, they feally are backward about this stuff. If the won't bloody stream it themselves (which would be incredibly easy to do), then at least let someone else do it... ------------- We're decent enough.. |

That is really f**king pathetic. Wouldn't mind if they did a damn thing to promote the game themselves. ------------- Geremi has let Kilbane in here, cross comes out to Holland, 1:1!! |

| Won 1-0. Brandon Kavanagh the scorer. Neil Farrugia the stand out performer. |

Is Conor Davis overage for this? I'd have thought he's exactly the type Kenny would like, very skilful. ------------- We're decent enough.. |

| Went along to this. Decent enough match. Jamie Lennon of St Pat's and Neil Farrugia of UCD the standout players for me. I'd expect to see both of them, and possibly Trevor Clarke, in the proper U21 squad. |

| I wouldn't have seen much of the lads in the squad from the LoI playing ,is there some of them good enough to step up to senior squad in a couple of years? I was in Wolverhampton working a couple of weeks ago and seen.a young lad from Cork 15/16 years old on trial with them Harry Nevin what a player this lad is. |

It's hard to say about which LOI lads can make the step up but a couple of them look capable. Trevor Clarke is the obvious one. Neil Farrugia has the physicality to go to England anyway. I'm a Saints supporter but I'm not fully sold on Lennon. He is a super passer of the ball but he isn't quite quick or dynamic enough in my opinion. ------------- El Puto Amo |

Trevor Clarke is brilliant, he can play on the left wing or at left back but I think the consensus is that he is better running from deep and having the pitch in front of him from left back. Good technical player who is very quick and capable of causing damage when running at the opposition, this time last year I would have said he was nailed on to go to England but he suffered a bad injury last year and was out all season. Back now and seems to be back to the level he was at but Rovers have been easing him back into it. Daragh Leahy has looked brilliant anytime I have seen him play for Bohs as well, he is also a left back, probably not quite as much of an attacking threat as Clarke but very solid and can get up and down the touchline. Haven't seen Elbouzedi, Mandriou or Farrugia yet as it is their first seasons in the premier division but have heard good things. I know Bazunu is now a Man City player but if his few appearances for Rovers last year are anything to go by he will be an unbelievable goalkeeper. Just turned 17 last month and has a long way to go of course but would definitely see him being a future no.1 for Ireland.
