thesaint Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 Fan wise the ultimate horror draw would be england turkey Scotland and poland(obviously if they win their play off). It's virtually a home game for turkey with the numbers of turks living in germany plus huge supports for england and poland as well as for us. Possible carnage comes to mind. Seriously hope to avoid any of those teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich NATA Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 I hope we end up with one of the play-off teams. With them not playing until March, it ought to help us with accommodation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caledonian Craig Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 I definitely want to avoid England. The circus that goes with that game overshadows everything. We could reach the knock-out stages for the first time but if we lose against them that is the only thing People will temember about the tournament.

Toepoke Posted November 23, 2023 Author Share Posted November 23, 2023 Must be a good chance we'll draw a group of countries we've never met at a tournament:- Pot 1: Belgium / Portugal / Spain Pot 2: Albania / Hungary / Romania / Turkey Pot 4: All except Switzerland (I'm clearly ignoring the fact some nations were part of the USSR / Yugoslavia).

Correct, we've only ever played Hungary and Turkey in friendlies. Bizarre given that they've been playing in international competitions for as long as we have.

N4Footsoldier Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 (edited) If I were to hand pick a group: Belgium - Still an elite team but clearly on the downward trend Albania - Won their group by default as Czech Republic and Poland were shite, surely to be considered minnows by tournament standards Any of the play off teams barring maybe Poland or Ukraine, everyone else you would fancy us against by tournament standards Edited November 23, 2023 by N4Footsoldier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hungary could well be a real dark horse for the tournament. England would be terrible because of all the guff that comes with playing them, unless in the unlikely scenario we beat then, which would be priceless. For purely football reasons France would be a nightmare to play. Really no hiding place in pot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
