On later today at 7 hope England get Slovenia, Ireland, Georgia, Faroe Islands, San Marino. Should get an 100% record in that group

Pot One: England, Spain, Holland, Germany, Portugal, Italy, Croatia, Norway, Greece

Pot Two: France, Montenegro, Russia, Sweden, Denmark, Slovenia, Turkey, Serbia, Slovakia

Pot Three: Switzerland, Israel, Rep of Ireland, Belgium, Czech Republic, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Belarus, Ukraine, Hungary

Pot Four: N Ireland, Scotland, Bulgaria, Romania, Georgia, Lithuania, Albania, Austria, Poland

Pot Five: Armenia, Finland, Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia, Moldova, FYR Macedonia, Azerbaijan, Faroe Islands

Pot Six: Wales, Liechtenstein, Iceland, Kazakhstan, Luxembourg, Malta, Andorra, San Marino

We got a bunch of easy ones last time and still cocked it up :nono:

We didn't lose a game

Hope we get a bit of a tough group this time so the games are good and you can look forward to them.. last time around all the games just felt like friendlies

Hoping for easy draw :)

Is it being shown on telly or anything?

I'd like to get Ireland, Northern Ireland or Scotland and Wales. Just for the home nations aspect of it.

I hope we get a few tough teams to get us better prepared for the World Cup. If we have an easy ride we get complacent.

We need the easiest draw possible to make sure we actually make it to the world cup

Think coverage is on the BBC website

:joker:

ONe of the reasons why Englan dont perform at the worl cup, is because they always get a cupcake quaolifying draw. THen they show up, not ready. IF I was you, I wold hope for at least one or 2 legit teams, to get you competition ready, when the World cup starts!

On Sky Sports News aswell

Really hope we get San Marino aswell, would be one of the greatest games ever

2014 is being hosted in Brazil isn't it?

must say I'm surprised Norway are in the top pot and France aren't (even though they imploded at 2010)

I'll come back in an hour then.

Yeah :elephant:

They haven't qualified for the world cup since 1998 and the last time they were in the european championships was 2000. no way should they be in Pot 1 but the ranking system is wank

France was in the 2002 WC as defending champions. And I should know, because, we kicked their asses, in the opening game! :D
But, given their performances, they deserve to be in pot 2. POt 2, or 1, are the same anyways. If France is really good, they will probably win their group. And actually, I expect them to do so this time around.

I was talking about Norway :joker:

Oh! Oops! OK! :blush2:

England
France
Republic of Ireland
Scotland
Finland
San Marino

That will do

Seychelles vs. Kenya! WOOOO

(oh and hello there Wildcat, welcome back (i haven't seen you on here in a while :)))

I reckon we'll get Russia, Israel, Lithuania, Cyprus and Malta

By the way, its bull**** how they set up the african qualifiers. YOu have to win your group, in the first round. Then those 10 group winners, get draws, for head to head elimination, in the second round (2legs) . WHich means, 2 very good team can meet up, in the second round. It coudl be Cote Divoire, vs Ghana in the second, an one of them will be eliminated. Or cameroon vs Nigeria. Whatever, I dont know why they accepted this format.

It seems very complicated

DarlingComedy on Twitter: "The WC draw is like Eurovision, everyone is speaking another language and there's one English guy trying to make sense of it all."

:joker:

Ivory Coast and Morroco will be a good game

São Tomé and Príncipe

Best name ever

were Burkina Faso in there at all? Their name is awesome

I still don't understand how China can have like 1.4 billion people and not one of them be a good footballer

about 70% of the world's population and they only get 4, maybe 5, teams in the competition. Baffling.

Yeah you would think China would have produced 1 world class star by now

South Korea could use a second string team and still qualify easily with these lot of jobbers

why bother :bored: the 4 will be Japan, S Korea, Australia and...oh actually idk for the fourth. Maybe Saudi Arabia.

Oceania up next after this singing ****e

Thought that was Zico on the keyboard then :joker:

zzzzZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZzzzzz

I'm pretty sure there's a woman there but I can't hear a woman's voice
