mikeyp102 Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Too be honest I'd prefer the harder draw for England. Far too often we have an easy qualifying draw, get to a tournament and not get a result. A harder draw may give us chance to prepare more for the vigours of a tournament.

El Zen Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 (edited) It is utterly embarrassing to see Norway in the same pot as the Faroe Islands. I mean fair play to them, but jaysus we are crap. We're even below Norn Iron ffs! Edited July 25, 2015 by Michelsen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NurembergVillan Posted July 25, 2015 Moderator Share Posted July 25, 2015 "Due to commercial rights UEFA have asked that England, Germany, France, Italy, Spain and the Netherlands be drawn in groups containing six teams." They may as well just let the TV companies pick the groups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Wales for top seed, delighted with that. Gareth Bale vs John O'Shea could be the biggest mismatch in sporting history if what Gabby and Bolasie did to him terrible group for Ireland and especially with the prick in charge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Zen Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 The Czech group GROUP C: Czech Republic; Northern Ireland; Norway; Azerbaijan; San Marino Und Deutschland, nein? Should be a battle between you and us for second place with you being favourites. Could have been worse, considering the dreadful position we've put ourselves in before the draw.

VillaChris Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 At least England and Scotland will be interesting two matches, why do England always get in groups with half of the old Eastern bloc? Tough group for Norn Iron and while Wales have a decent group it's worth remembering Austria also have a golden generation and Serbia have very talented individuals so not cut and dried they'll be 1st in that one. Going to be very interesting, remember it's just back to one automatic qualifier in pretty much each group so 2 out of Italy, Spain, France and Holland will be in play offs. Portugal usually end up in play offs aswell but their group is a cakewalk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
