dezmondo Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 For anyone that doesn't realise, the next Nations league draw is approaching, to be drawn on Thursday 16th December, fixtures to be published 17th December. Quite surprised to see there are 4 fixtures in quick succession in June from 2nd June to 14th June. The other 2 fixtures will be played in September. We are pot 2 in league B. We will draw one from each of: - Ukraine, Sweden, Bosnia, Iceland - Israel 🙈, Ireland, Romania, Serbia - Slovenia, Montenegro, Albania, Armenia Another busy year in 2022....bring it on 🏴 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TartanSpice Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Russia are in our pot and they can't be drawn against Ukraine so that immediately increases our changes of getting them. It's inevitably going to be a draw of teams we'll be sick of playing so we'll get Ukraine, Israel, and Albania. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TartanSpice Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Also, the Nations League is hugely important for the 2024 Euros. Not just from a potential back up play-off spot from winning the group (UEFA yet to confirm how it will work this time) but from a seeding for the Euro Qualifiers. If it's the same as Euro 2020, the seedings will be based on the Nations League rankings so winning our group will get us to be second seeds for the qualifiers and a better chance of direct qualification. We'd need to either win the group or be the best ranked 2nd team to get into the top 20 and that crucial second seed place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

romanticscot Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 Nations League draw tomorrow, hoping for a good draw as always as we want to be finishing top of this group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan Blackheart Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 I thought Armenia were half-decent now. Not sure. From an away trip point of view, I’d love Kiev again, although not if we’re playing Russia by the time the game comes round. I also fancy Bucharest. Would be a good double header with Kiev. Speaking of double headers, the TA and gonorrhoea hot spot on the Dniepr - the River Palace - is alas no more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barney Rubble Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 (edited) Could have been better, could have been worse. At least there's the novelty of Armenia whom we have never played before. Ukraine are the new Israel who were the new Lithuania who were the new Estonia. Edited December 16, 2021 by Barney Rubble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlfieMoon Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Got to be happy with that. Playing Ukraine 3 times in 6 months is a bit of a bore but it’s results that matter. Ireland are a very poor side compared to previous. Armenia - an interesting new opponent/place. Glad to avoid Israel, Albania and other potential tougher sides.
