allocation of the pots, before this draw

Groups A-J


group winners advance to the world cup

runners up of each group advance to second round of qualifyings

Denmark, Sweden, Luxembourg, Estonia and/or San Marino would be nice.

England in Group I, a group with 6 nations

Wales screwed to be in a group with Belgium :(

first opponent for England is Poland

Group A also shaping up as quite an interesting group, portugal/serbia/ireland so far

B so far Spain/Sweden/Greece

C so far Italy/Switzerland/Northern Ireland

D so far France/Ukraine/Finland

E so far Belgium/Wales/Czech Republic

F so far Denmark/Austria/Scotland

full groups

A: Portugal, Serbia, Ireland, Luxembourg, Azerbaijan
B: Spain, Sweden, Greece, Georgia, Kosovo

H: Croatia, Slovakia, Russia, Slovenia, Cyprus, Malta
I: England, Poland, Hungary, Albania, Andorra, San Marino
J: Germany, Romania, Iceland, North Macedonia, Armenia, Liechtenstein

yep good draw for Scotland

not really

Israel are quite a good team

Faroe Islands have the ability to cause an upset sometimes (they proven that against Greece both at home and away)


Denmark, Austria speak for itself that they are higher ranked

England on the other hand have a easy group, i am already expecting monster scores against Andorra, San Marino


Germany also a easy draw


Netherlands i am not sure at all LOL, Turkey could beat us, same goes for Norway, i mean even a Montenegro could beat us, i guess only easy win opponent is Gibraltar

France, Ukraine, Bosnia Herzegovina and Kazakhstan and us.

Not a very good draw.

Easy group with no teams any better than us so we shall qualify

Scotland has a decent chance at 3rd place.

Norn Iron don't stand a chance against Italy, Switzerland AND Bulgaria.

Scotland could eke through. Ireland could feasibly make second in their group but Serbia will probably pip them, I reckon. Wales will struggle... and England shouldn't, but I fear they might depending on Hungary's form.

A: Portugal 1st and Serbia 2nd
B: Spain 1st and Sweden 2nd
C: Italy 1st and Switzerland 2nd
D : France 1st and Bosnia&Herzegovina 2nd
E: Belgium 1st and Wales 2nd
F: Denmark 1st and Austria 2nd
G: Netherlands 1st and Norway 2nd
H: Croatia 1st and Russia 2nd
I: England 1st and Poland 2nd
J: Germany 1st and Romania 2nd

I don't see Finland having much of a shot at this time. France will probably trounch us, Ukraine will beat us and we will lose twice to BIH in 2 hard fought battles.

Maybe 2 wins against Kazakhstan and a tie with someone, but that's it.

The Republic actually have a chance, they played Serbia in the play offs for the Euros and should have beaten them, fingers crossed we have some new talent coming through as the current crop are dire

Sweden got a tough group here

against Spain


Kosovo is still very much a unknown entity for me so to be considered dangerous before proven otherwise

Georgia is the weakest from the group


Greece, well depending on which form they are in, if they are in form they are a powerhouse, if they are out of form, they are easily the weakest in this group
