**Football Daily | Ireland’s Risky Precedent and England's Promotion** Well, that was a close call. Despite all the media fuss over mass player withdrawals and the puzzling absence of a new manager who, as Football Daily confirms, isn’t set to start until the new year, England somehow managed to secure promotion back to the top tier of European football. This league, reminiscent of the old quiz show Turnabout, is known for its convoluted rules—so much so that even its host has admitted to not fully grasping them. Nevertheless, it drew a massive audience simply because it was on. Consequently, Wembley was packed on Sunday for a match deemed “must-win” for England, even if many in attendance were unclear about the stakes. At least it was something to do. Imagine the scene: the once-mighty Rome struggling to regain its former glory, plagued by internal conflicts that see leader after leader toppled, until everyone turns to an old figure on the sidelines named Claudio… sorry, Claudius. Is history really repeating itself? In response to Andy Morrison’s email, which mentioned Glenn Hoddle and the infamous phrase about ‘setting the balls up in the right place,’ I was reminded of the unpleasant memories from the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. Perhaps enduring ITV’s coverage was a punishment for past sins. This is just a glimpse of our daily football email, Football Daily.

Marc Guéhi's late goal for Crystal Palace denied Wolverhampton Wanderers their first league win of the season, leaving Gary O’Neil still searching for that elusive victory. Wolves initially took the lead with a goal from Trevoh Chalobah, but they squandered their advantage in the second half. Jorgen Strand Larsen and João Gomes scored in quick succession, turning the match in Wolves' favor. However, it seemed they may have relaxed too soon, believing the hard work was done. Wolves struggled to maintain their momentum, and the decision to part ways with their set-piece coach last month loomed large as both of Palace's goals came from set pieces. Guéhi managed to evade his marker, substitute Gonçalo Guedes, to score from a corner, ultimately securing a point for Palace. In a dramatic finish, O’Neil was relieved when VAR upheld referee Anthony Taylor's decision to disallow a last-minute goal from Jean-Philippe Mateta due to a foul on goalkeeper José Sá. However, the result may have cost O’Neil some support from the home fans.
