Sweden got an easy group. We should go through this one without much trouble.

Now or never for Finland! This is the draw we have been dreaming of

Russia will prob top the group though, England's has to be the easiest and RoI's one of the toughest

Yep, that group it's really open. Anyone except Faroe can qualify, not much difference between those teams.

I take it this was the boring shite that was on SS this morning, those fuckers really know how to big themselves up. Platini sliding down the chair had me switch off.

How's it there's only 5 teams in the final group?

what's the point in the qualifiers?
the expanded tournament means that pretty much everyone qualifies...
waste of time

Isn't that the one that France play in? No-one gets any points for those games.

I think both Russia and Austria are better than Sweden right now. Russia definitely, Austria possibly. By I'm a born pessimist.

Fuck, aye. Forgot about them. I don't know how though, one of my pet hates at the moment is all the back-handers going on at the top of the game.

I don't think Russia's all they're cracked up to be and Austria is in now way better than us. We're not that much better than Austria but I don't see us lose the away game this time. I'm hoping they play Arnautovic again.

You might be right, but I see the Austrian team being on their way up whereas we're on our way down.

Point being?

Neither is England, by the way, if we look at the international level.

Ah fuck. Had totally forgotten about that little gem of wisdom from the gaffer. In the light of that I give you a b+ and myself a big, fat, red f.

England get the least problematic group.
How many qualify now?...is it two plus best third placers?
Its a nonsense if it is
