I would say we fluked it. Belgium were damn good - WC 86 semi-finalists good. And we drew with then away with a last minute peno (lucky) and dragged through a 0-0 at home. I was at all those games - the Luxembourg game was end to end, but it shouldn't have been for fuck sake and Paul McGrath saved our bacon. We did well to win in Scotland but were not the better team on the night.
Don't get me wrong - the 88 qualifier team was Ireland's best ever - but it was a fluke as we needed Scotland to beat Bulgaria away - NOBODY expected Scotland to win that.
