Third is enough as well now, isn't it? Seems like you almost have to actively try not to qualify if you want to miss out on the tournament.

Netherlands barely scraped a win against the Greeks (whole stadium full of laser pens, don't these Greek 'supporters' have anything better to do? Twats), but we were severely hamstrung. No De Jong, no Gakpo, no Memphis Depay, and still looking for a suitable goalkeeper.

No, it's top 2, with the remaining 3 spots going to play-off for Nations League group winners...and we are second in our group, so we can only get a shot if Scotland manages to qualify- which, to be fair, looks kind of likely.

I just looked at the standing, and OMFG, what happened to Bosnia? How is Luxemburg the 3rd team in that group? wild.

Manchester City, Chelsea facing relegation after Premier League bombshell
The English Premier League has been plunged into chaos after a move to dock a club 10 points prompted a wave of fear, anger and confusion.

-----------------------------------------

Whatever Everton did you can multiply by at least 10 for City with the obscene amounts of petrodollars sloshing around there.
Chelski for certain under RA.

Hell, all of them would have done it to various degrees, but City would be the worst. Doesn't matter if it was misreporting "losses" (probably for some arcane Hollywood-style accounting purposes for the owners) or straight up under-the-table shit.

The difference is, City have a lot more money and that's what the PL are interested in.

I'd LOVE to see the cheating scumbags get what they deserve but I don't believe that'll ever happen.

[Gorefest]

Meanwhile, vitesse arnhem may face seeing the lights getting turned off Cheating arrogant weasels, couldn't have happened to a more deserving club. Secret Abramovitz goons.

If ever there was a blatant picture of the corruption at the top its Everton l9sing ten points for their violation and City still walking around laughing.

Some of their sponsor "companies" literally do not exist.

Didn't quite know where to put this but here it is in all its glory
"ROARRRRRRRRRR!!!!!"

Three years ago my team was being utterly useless in the Dutch second division, presently we comfortably sit seventh in the top flight and have reached the semi-final of the Dutch FA cup. Things are looking up!

[Gorefest]

Ha, get in: we are in the cup final! And we are still in the running for European play-offs.

[Mentalist]

Ukraine pulled off back to back 2:1 comebacks against Bosnia and Iceland to get into the Euros final.

Good to see our legionnaires pulling their weight despite all the other shit happening.

What a season. We just leap-frogged Ajax into 5th place after being the only team this season to beat PSV. Damn, my team is having a dream season. And considering we only got promoted two seasons ago, gotta keep pinching myself.

Oh, and cool statistic: from all the 6 biggest European leagues (England, Germany, Italy, France, Spain, Netherlands), only two teams have won all their home games so far in 2024. These are Arsenal and...N.E.C. Nijmegen. Damn, we are having a blast

Uh-oh ... *looks around nervously for inevitable universal reaction*

I sincerely hope Borussia Dortmund make it all the way to the final in the Champions League.

The Leverkusen story this season is fantastic. Also very hilarious for poor Harry Kane who moved from Spurs to Munich for a guaranteed title and still didn't get one haha

Our arch rivals vitesse arnhem just received an 18-point deduction due to severe financial mismanagement in the Dutch Premier League and are currently relegated with -1 points 🤣

Nearly all British teams out of Europe, except... Aston Villa! Did not see that happening at the beginning of the season!

Here's hoping something similar happens to the cheating scumbags at City!
