I want Wales and NI as they are weakest teams we can draw from that pot. In the whole of League B, Russia look a class above, and a couple of teams - no offence to them - Bulgaria and Israel, look like they may struggle on recent form. The other 12 teams, (excluding ourselves), I don’t think there is much between them. I don’t see any significant difference in standard between Austria, Czech Republic and Wales. I don’t see any significant difference in standard between Northern Ireland, Republic of Ireland, Slovakia and Turkey. Granted, from our extra knowledge of Northern Ireland, we can think they may struggle once Michael O’Neill leaves. I often get the impression on here that our fans always seem very disbelieving that Northern Ireland and Wales may actually be good teams! I don’t think that the rest of Europe are so dismissive of them, it’s probably that they’re so close to home for us, and we think that their players don’t play at such a high level, and that we’re used to being a better team than they are. I think that some people haven’t stopped to make the necessary reassessment of Northern Ireland and Wales, that has to be made given their recent achievements.

Nah, South Belfast Northern Ireland Supporters club.... we ended up in their on the way to one of the Celtic Cup games, and while we felt dirty being in it, was a top night and the owner was a good lad.

sjd1972 Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Turkey are a class above the others in Pot 3 and need to be avoided. They took 4 points from 6 against world champion France. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

romanticscot Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 That's an OK group in my opinion, if I may be so bold and say we should not at least be getting relegated and we fight for the top spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

romanticscot Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 (edited) Incorrect. There are only TWO play off spots from the Nations League, which is awarded to the top group winners who are not in the top 2 of their regular qualification groups, which likely in my opinion, means two group winners from League B are added to the play off spots but this is by no means certain. And I expect someone will ask - 29 November 2020: 2022 FIFA World Cup, European Qualifiers draw Source - https://www.uefa.com/insideuefa/news/newsid=2633814.html Edited March 3, 2020 by romanticscot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaundy Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 A pleasant draw. Israel in at least three games this year . Two basket case nations who either through geography, politics or status doesn’t have normal grounds to be competing. ah football Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
