Rovers13 Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Wales gace a tough group. Bosnia and Belgium are both really good sides. Greeces group is a joke. And what happened with Gibraltar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosenthal Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 (edited) Wales should aim for third place and play off, I actually think they got a good group for them. Yes Bosnia and Belgium are strong, but in Israel they've got a team from pot 3 they can compete with. If Gareth Bale (and Ramsey) stay fit and motivated, I think they've got an outside chance to qualify.

villa4europe Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 England's group is so easy they might aswell start afresh with the younger generation Hart Walker Cahill jones shaw Henderson wilshire Walcott Ox januzaj Sturridge not sure whats worse, the bullshit in the rags or the fact that hodgson played along with it he's eligible for about 6 countries, england would probably be about his 4th or 5th choice, it was a non starter the rest of the team is spot on though, would hate to see the likes of gerrard anywhere near the team in the next campaign, although rooney wills till be there, i think he'll do the caps and goals record before he's finished Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villaajax Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Greece piss easy group yet again. Hungary could win that group and Romania can play well when they want to. England have the easy group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voinjama Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 (edited) Oh puhlease. Netherlands played both of them in the WC 2014 qualifiers. Surely you could see then how poor Romania and Hungary were. For the 4th qualifiers in a row Greece and Switzerland have the easiest groups.

villaajax Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 True, we did stick 12 goals past Hungary over 2 games but Holland are just superior. I do think Hungary could win that group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCforever1991 Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Iceland not going to the Euros then! Holland, Czech Republic and Turkey. EDIT: And **** Kazakhstan - that must be the longest travel possible. I think you could do better than expected, could surprise a few people. 2nd place is a possibility.

Corcaigh Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 (edited) Hard to call Ireland's group beyond Germany as group winners. On their day Scotland & Georgia are capable of getting decent results against the big boys, but equally capable of making a fool of themselves. Ireland have played Poland a couple of times in the past few years and they've looked very ordinary despite their Dortmund contingent. All in all I'm happy enough with the draw, think we've got a good chance at qualifying automatically. Edited February 23, 2014 by Corcaigh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vandaq Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Norway will probably not qualify once again and the negative light on football here will get even bigger. Can`t wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 (edited) Who's the Norway manager now, surely not still Olsen?! The quality of Norway's squad is now lightyears away from what you had in the late 90s, Ronnie Johnson and Henning Berg in defence and a strikerforce of Carew, Flo, OGS and even Stefan Iversen. Now you have experience players like Hangeland and Riise in their 30s and probably about to retire, pretty sure you also had Pedersen in your last squad last seen on Barnsley's bench! You just don't produce decent players anymore compared to the 90s when you were regularly had regular premier league players, not compared to what Denmark churn out and even Iceland now even if that is a golden generation.

Jarpie Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Finland might actually have chance this time, Greece, Romania and Hungary are all beatable. Don't think we will get better chance than this to qualify for major tournament. Finland has a pretty good team (albeit not as good as in late 90s/early 2000s), but we were able to put up a good fight against spain and france in 2014 world cup qualification. Although getting through even from that group requires nailing every game and some luck with other results, which will be hard but possible.

There's no chance Januzaj will play for England. It's utter nonsense. We've as much chance at getting Neymar to play for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qwpzxjor1 Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 what happened with Gibraltar? They were originally drawn in Spain's group. Whether there's a Uefa rule about contested border or whether they just realised 'uh oh, that could be dodgy', they were moved to Germany's group. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
