It was a case of France not being able to react on the ultimate stage, sadly for them. Germany grew further in to the Final and emerge worthy back-to-back European champions! France's manager, Madrid-born Pedro Martinez Losa, bids farewell to Les Bleus with immediate effect. #FM26

Push in the box rewards Germany with a penalty! Cerci makes no mistake! The title is staying put! #FM26

ANYOMI! The champions take a very quick lead in the 47th minute! How can France respond to this? #FM26

Scoreless at the half. Belhadj has pulled off some quality saves for France, while the French did strike the woodwork late in the first-half. #FM26

The Bernabéu is looking fantastic as we seek to conclude this exciting 2033 Euros! Germany want to relive the good ol' days with yet another success, but France want to finally win something that isn't the Nations League! #FM26

It took Spanish managers for both sides, but the 2033 European Finalists are indeed France and Germany! They played out a 1-1 draw in Group B - something will have to give. There was nothing we could've done differently, clearly. It numbs the pain a bit, but Franz will be there as a VIP. #FM26

The Euro quarter-finals were goal rich, and two of the ties even went to extra-time, but we're now left with Sweden, France, holders Germany and hosts Spain! If the Final ends up being Germany vs. France, then we really did get one of the hardest groups of all-time. #FM26

The hosts could have wilted under the pressure, but no, they were clinical against a badly performing Iceland. Croatia needed to respond, but the Swedes were a class above. Quarter-finals are teed up nicely, so let's do them next time! #FM26

Eoin Harmon @eoin-harmon.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

The superior nations live up to the demands of their fans. We couldn't sit back in this, but we get dealt a punishing loss. We need to snap the World Cup duck before too long. I am more hopeful as we can bed in some of the youngsters next time, but we need plenty more. GG France. #FM26

Ooooh, that was the chance! Belhadj palms away McDaniel's free header! #FM26

Eoin Harmon @eoin-harmon.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

I don't know how Rouquet got the ball past Nicole at the near post and then hit the opposite post, but she did. It's four to the good. France have won the group unless Germany rally. It's 1-0 there. #FM26

Eoin Harmon @eoin-harmon.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

Again, it's a group stage exit for us in the Euros. Joly having a jolly good time. Half-time. Poland keeping Germany at a deadlock, so I'd say the French have won the group. #FM26

Eoin Harmon @eoin-harmon.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

Foul on the edge of the box! It's inside - penalty! Baltimore sends Nicole the wrong way. Damnit. #FM26

Eoin Harmon @eoin-harmon.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

France get their goal out wide and then setting up the striker to run in! It just gets harder and harder. #FM26

Eoin Harmon @eoin-harmon.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

The Italy 1-0 remains the pinnacle of Franz's career to this point, but we need something out of this world to exceed that. Nothing to lose! Bring it on! #FM26

Eoin Harmon @eoin-harmon.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

Group D is again the place to watch, in a group stage where only one of the eight places have been claimed as quickly as possible! The hosts LOSE to Sweden, and Croatia take down a reputable name in Iceland! Switzerland vs. Italy is due to be a do-or-die thanks to a 4-3 thriller won by the Dutch!

Eoin Harmon @eoin-harmon.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

The contest that could not end in a draw...ends in a draw. This means that, if we don't get the rub of the head-to-head, we need to thrash France to overturn the goal difference. Would've been nice to have the chance in a 4-4-3-0. Anyway, we will rest and go again to try and qualify. #FM26

Eoin Harmon @eoin-harmon.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

The leveller! Poland go down our left and the cross in to the box is outstanding! The powerful header was too much for Nix! We kick off on 89 mins. We need to win! #FM26

Eoin Harmon @eoin-harmon.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

Neither of the matches have seen any goals in the second-half. We're emptying our bench, hoping for the second, but avoiding the equaliser. #FM26

Eoin Harmon @eoin-harmon.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

The woodwork got hit once each between the sides, but the slender lead is ours. Poland know they are out if the result stays the same in Valencia. Expect intensity, team. #FM26

Eoin Harmon @eoin-harmon.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

THE GOLDEN START! Larkin sets up Healy! A lucky deflection got it further in to the corner than expected! Can we score two in a major tournament for the first time together? #FM26

100

Eoin Harmon @eoin-harmon.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

Two changes for us as we return to the 4-2-3-1: Milner comes in at RB, and the scorer McDaniel has impressed me to go CM instead of McLaughlin. Poland play two up top, so this is a case of trying to outscore the opponent. A draw won't do. Gorgeous night for football. #FM26

Eoin Harmon @eoin-harmon.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

It's all for one or nothing at all after the first round of fixtures. You have to credit Croatia for giving the hosts everything they had, but ultimately losing 3-2. #FM26

100

Eoin Harmon @eoin-harmon.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

France got their second right on the 90th minute, so I think that's a passable situation. We must, must, must defeat Poland to have any chance. McDaniel has made her claim to play from the start. She brought a sense of calm in the midfield despite her youthful inexperience. #FM26

100

Eoin Harmon @eoin-harmon.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

Kuever secures the comfortable gap for the champions! The CB was superior in the air at the corner. It's still 1-0 between France and Poland, so that's far from what we want. #FM26

Eoin Harmon @eoin-harmon.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

WHAT A HOOFBALL FROM ROISIN ATKINSON! RIGHT IN THE PATH OF HER CORK CITY TEAM-MATE AVA McDANIEL! A wonderful moment! #FM26

Eoin Harmon @eoin-harmon.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

Larkin snapshot hits the bar! We're doing a lot better now, but not enough to score something. #FM26

Eoin Harmon @eoin-harmon.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

Irresistible Damm! She bags a hat-trick! She had just one goal before tonight! #FM26

Eoin Harmon @eoin-harmon.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

It's half-time in Madrid. No doubts that the Germans have been far better, but we need to keep the GD down at this stage. France 1-0 up on Poland. #FM26

Eoin Harmon @eoin-harmon.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

Aww mate. We were on the attack for once, but a booted clearance goes straight to the youngster Damm. She had the opening she needed to cut inside and score her second! Right on half-time. :( #FM26

Eoin Harmon @eoin-harmon.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

It's taken the champs 20 minutes, but they're ahead by finding gaps on our left and drilling it across goal for a tap-in. #FM26

Eoin Harmon @eoin-harmon.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

It's an honour to be back on the greatest continental stage, but it's against the holders, and Franz's primary nationality, Germany. Gulp. #FM26

Safe bets win the day on opening night of the Euros. England and Norway both win 2-0. #FM26

Eoin Harmon @eoin-harmon.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

Oh no! Deborah, who would've been one of our fittest players thanks to summer football in Sweden, has been badly injured in training! Her Euros is over before we can even begin them! Ava Milner, the Shamrock Rovers RB, will take her place. Argh, that's her last chance at a major tourney gone. #FM26

100

Eoin Harmon @eoin-harmon.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

The 4-2-3-1 was too open against the Norwegians, but it was capable of creating chances. A dilemma ahead of the meeting with Germany. Try to contain in the first-half and then go for it in the second? Germany played out a 1-1 draw with hosts Spain. Poland won 8-0, worringly. No gimmes. #FM26

100

Eoin Harmon @eoin-harmon.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

We agreed to one friendly before the Euros. It was a choice between England or Norway. I chose Norway, so we're in Oslo for a legit test to see how we can compete against the top nations. #FM26

Eoin Harmon @eoin-harmon.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

Okay, the 23 representatives for Ireland at the 2033 Euros are chosen! I've gone for a fifth CB instead of a third striker as Kate Nugent is doing a fantastic job at Sligo, and Erin Healy can be switched to play ST if needed. The usual stats and the 16 managerial hopefuls are also provided. #FM26

100

Eoin Harmon @eoin-harmon.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

Finland and Montenegro couldn't be separated at all in their game, so it'll be the Finns hoping to win promotion in the play-offs! We conceded a shocking 13 goals in six matches, but got 29 in our favour. 147 goals have been scored in Franz's 85 matches in charge. 29/147=19.73%! #FM26

Eoin Harmon @eoin-harmon.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

Ooooh! Two hat-tricks in the same match! That hasn't happened to me in this save at all! Emily Whelan, savour your moment! Well played by the left-sided players too! :D #FM26

Eoin Harmon @eoin-harmon.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

We're going to lose the second-half here. We committed too many in to attack, and we were open in behind. #FM26

Eoin Harmon @eoin-harmon.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

Whelan is fed a tremendous through ball from McDaniel and makes it 6-1! #FM26

Eoin Harmon @eoin-harmon.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

Well, we're punished for letting off a bit. A fine lofted finish from them. #FM26

Eoin Harmon @eoin-harmon.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

Wonderful first-half! Let's keep it up! #FM26

Eoin Harmon @eoin-harmon.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

McLaughlin tries to beat the 'keeper, but Izzy Atkinson is totally free to nab the rebound! 5-0! #FM26

Eoin Harmon @eoin-harmon.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

Booming header! The match ball is Erin's to keep! Still goalless in the other contest! #FM26

Eoin Harmon @eoin-harmon.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

There's the second goal! McLaughlin's corner comes off an unsuspecting defender and Healy reacted quickest! Two soft goals, but we can now press home our advantage! #FM26

Eoin Harmon @eoin-harmon.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

Larkin supplies the cross and it's a composed point-blank finish from Emily Whelan! #FM26

Eoin Harmon @eoin-harmon.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

Two changes: Connolly and O'Hanlon are fresh and can take over from the still tired Atkinson and Lovely. Just win the day, team. #FM26
