Why are Azerbaijan in the European qualification groups?

They are similar to Turkey. A bit in both Europe and Asia.
They're in the Eurovision song contest too, although so are Australia

Azerbaijan take the lead, 0-1 HT.
They are ranked 112 in the world, just above the Faroe Islands.
Surely Ireland will still win

They lost at home to Luxembourg. They’re that dreadful, they conceded two goals to a 36 year old a few days ago.

Niall Quinn now is probably better than Adam Idah.

Wonder how the Irish felt seeing Grealish assist Declan Rice’s goal. What could have been.
