At the end of an atrocious year for the Irish football team, results will be off the agenda for a couple of hours at least when Dublin hosts the Euro 2020 draw tomorrow. Why is Ireland hosting the draw? Due to our poor showing in the inaugural Nations League, picking up two points from 12, relegation has dropped Ireland into Pot 3. Germany, having been relegated in their Nations League campaign and bombed at the World Cup, are the surprise presence in the second pot and, therefore, the one to avoid. Four of the 24 berths at the finals will be left reserved for those emerging from the Nations League play-offs in March 2020.
