The others will take points off Denmark I think. Israel will be our most difficult task I feel. Mind that hurt us in our Germany, Poland, Ireland group though!

Group H looks the easiest to me. Yeh it's still gunna be tough but it's defo a group that gives us a chance of qualifying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll still stronger now though mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprised Russia were pot 3 considering their form over last 2 years. Interesting looking at the other home nations. No chance for Northern Ireland in with Italy and Swiss and given the state ROI are in I can't see them doing much v Portugal and our old friends Serbia who seem more motivated to make world cups. Wales in decent group but you'd rather have Danes as the top seed than Belgium which they have. England drew arguably toughest pot 2 team so of course Uefa then gives them San Marino AND Andorra in the same group.🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought it would be usual mass struggle and 2-1 win but make it look ridiculously easy and seem to score from every attack, was 6 or 7 nil in the end IIRC. Away match was a bit more of a struggle but still professional 2-0 away win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GraemeTA Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Its a great draw, you get belgium, spain etc and they win every game so your fighting for a play off place. Denmark and austria will drop points (ano we will too) . Really think we are in there for the fight for top spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Black Bra Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 How the fuck can England get Albania, San Marino and Andorra in the same group!??! It really is a ‘Lapland, Melchester Rovers, me and my mum’ scenario (for those old enough to remember the McGlashan sketch). Even if Lewandowski rips them a new one they can still sleepwalk through that group and qualify. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Black Bra Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Just realised what could happen here... We finish second in the group and get into play offs. England slip up home and away against Poland and end up second in the group. Guess who we draw in the play offs... Not being cocky assuming we’ll be second, just a scenario that occurred to me!

ThistleWhistle Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Already wondering when Faroes play Moldova - imagine it's last and we're needing one to finish 5th so we get 6 points instead of 3 or 4! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
