  • We wil get the usual simple group!
  • Could get Italy or France - hope we do actually.

    Be nice to get some different decent aways like Hungary, Iceland, Malta, Czech etc and the turks to wake Wembley up for once.

    Please no Montenegro, Ukraine, Poland, San Marino again.
  • Come on, we always get Poland!

  • GROUP F: England, Slovakia, Scotland, Slovenia, Lithuania, Malta

    Some nice away destinations there. Shouldn't struggle to get out if that one
  • Fucking Switzerland always get the jammiest group
  • Group D is a neutral's nightmare.
  • I mean, England's group is pish as well but dear me.

    I suppose the Swiss are playing marginally more attractive football nowadays, maybe
  • Wow, look at group A, that 'll be exciting ...

  • Slovenia are very good atm
  • Happy enough as missed/am missing Slovenia and Lithuania this time.

    The Jocks in competitive games will be great occasions.

    Slovakia will hopefully be less lively than 2004.

    Hopefully Malta will fall in June or Sept - anyone know how big their ground is? The 2000 game out there was before my time.
  • We do have the luck when it comes to these draws. Another pretty simple group .
  • God help anybody with a lisp when talking about England's group!!!
  • How many qualify from each group?
  • How many qualify from each group?

    Europe gets allocated 13 of 32 places at each World Cup.

    Top of each group qualifies automatically (accounting for 9 of 13 places). The best eight second placed teams go into a play-off draw for the final four places.
  • Great draw for Wales, aided and abetted by their ridiculous seeding.
  • Feel bad for Zlatan tbh

    He loves himself too much for my liking so I don't feel too sorry for him to be honest Leuth. I am sure there are a lot nicer players in the Sweden set up to feel sorry for?
  • The seeding system is crazy.
    Netherlands and France in the same group.
    Spain and Italy in the same group.
    Wales and Austria as the top teams in their group.

    He'll be almost 37 by the 2018 world cup so would probably have retired from international football anyway
  • 36? Definitely 'one last hurrah' territory
  • We do have the luck when it comes to these draws. Another pretty simple group .

    It's the seeding. Swap England for Portugal, Germany, Wales, Romania, Belgium, or Croatia and any of those groups would look easy.
  • That's good to hear Large.
  • I always thought that the eight seeds (Or however many Groups there are) were based on how you did in that last tournament rather than your World Ranking?
  • People who don't like Zlatan need to have a look at some of the projects he involves himself in, including homeless and ghetto rehousing, charity work and foundation work. He may have a shit tonne of money and an arrogance in the media spotlight, but behind all that he seems to do more than his fair share for others
  • happy enough with that, very winnable group for Scotland.

    Dunno... Both Slovakia and Slovenia have made recent Tournaments, reckon Scotland may stand a chance with Northern Ireland the only real Home Nation that may struggle to Qualify (Wales and Republic of Ireland only having to really worry about Austria and Serbia)
