MattWSM Posted November 18, 2019 Report Share Posted November 18, 2019 non City relayed but can somebody tell me why a win for ROI tonight is enough to qualify? They can't catch Danes with goal difference and will finish 3rd but are already 3rd. something I am missing obviously. is it something to do with the nation's league outcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, if they beat Denmark they will have the better head to head record as they drew away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they'll go to the playoffs in March anyway... Pretty complicated but the Nations League appears to be a safety net for them.
