We've played 3 times in Ireland since then - two defeats and a draw.Quote:

Of course it is. Football is a funny old game.Quote:

Armenia is fully in Asia, but at a guess I would imagine they see themselves as more culturally connected to Europe rather than Asia given their history as a Soviet Republic.
Interestingly some people class Cyprus as being in Asia and not Europe although I don't think many people have an issue with them being in UEFA.
Israel play in UEFA because a lot of the west Asian countries would refuse to play them, so it's probably more about keeping peace than anything else.

A solid strategy. Intentionality get relegated to group D for an easy route into Euro 2028.Quote:

And of course we now lead at HT from a worldie of a free kick:greengrin
