We have never played them at a major tournament and I hope it stays that way. Seen a few instances at wembley in 2021, irvine street, that could have easily escalated into something nasty if it wasn't for the MET police. England away fans away from home are a different breed all together. The Scotland vs England does also bring the worst out in people. Sharing ferries and trains will be bad enough without sharing fan parks. What do you mean? We’ve played them the last two Euros we have qualified for. 1996 and 2021.

Stockholm 1980 Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 Hope Ukraine get drawn to play Wales, but knowing Wales luck they will get Finland or Iceland home and then the home tie in “Final” Dont really see the need for all these Play Offs to be drawn, could quite simply have been plotted off Nations League Ranking. Could do with an Estonia Iceland and Luxembourg getting into the main draw next week, highly unlikely but you never know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wanderer Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 While Wales SHOULD make the final, even with home advantage, I would be shocked if they did not end up hitting the self destruct button against Poland like they have a habit to do. Imagine Ukraine will win Play Off B, with C probably the hardest to pick (I want to say Greece, but Luxembourg and Kazakhstan form has been very good of late, and while Georgia have the home advantage, how much of a miss is Kvaratskhelia going to be for the semi-final.

The Black Bra Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 Don’t think I want to see Georgia qualifying anyway, after their antics against us. Surely Wales luck has to run out soon, been very lucky with play offs recently what with qualifying after only getting 1 point in their Nations League group, home draws, Ukraine having to play Wednesday and Sunday last time while Wales were fresher. Hope Finland pump them. All that ‘red wall’ pish, do they think no one else has a decent support? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suspensions from qualifying do carry over into the play-offs, bookings don’t. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was about 2 days of "is he or isn't he" on social media, then it was confirmed that he is out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sometime think that they do that deliberately to give themselves some wriggle room in case it happens to somebody "important" like Ronaldo or Mbappe.
