Hmmm. An unbiased & free draw comes out exactly in line with the UEFA rankings. The odds on that must be higher than a lottery win.
FIFA country seeding
6 Italy 1 v 67 North Macedonia 6
8 Portugal 2 v 37 Turkey 5
18 Sweden 3 v 31 Czech 4
19 Wales 4 v 30 Austria 3
34 Russia 5 v 27 Poland 2
38 Scotland 6 v 25 Ukraine 1
If it was true it would be weird, but they are not the order of seedings. If you are trying to propose a conspiracy theory I can debunk it easily. If FIFA fixed the draw do you really think they have made it impossible for Italy and Portugal to qualify?Quote:

Sell a double ticket of which if we don’t make the final then the void ticket becomes valid for the next nations league home match.
What if people can't make the next nations league home match? Better to refund surely?Quote:

Doubt much would worry when they are acquiring there semi tickets.
I know but it’s hell of a coincidence and the odds would have been astronomical. 1v6 2v5 3v4 4v3 5v2 6v1Quote:

A 1 in 720 chance, same as for any other draw.Quote:

Next we have a 1/4 chance, then 1/3. Yes that moves the 1 in 30 to a 1 in 120 then a 1 in 360 overall, but a 1/4 probability isn't that unlikely, while a 1/3 chance is more likely again.
Once we get to Path C, it's a 50/50 chance of having the draw we did.
If they got over 30000 members and then can’t guarantee all a ticket would be interesting? They’re still selling memberships too so you’d think they might need to cap the numbers? I doubt they do mind as selling the memberships brings the money in.Quote:

I was there in '85 too - they had a bit of 'pay-back' then, well, at least on the Bob-Bank they did.
There were 5k more people at the Belgium game than for Belarus though despite them bundling the tickets together.Quote:

24,000 existing members, 3,000 away + segregation still leaves 6,000 available tickets, they’ll be a lot of new members signing up inan attempt to get those tickets.Quote:

If we are lucky, the 'phonics might play a few tunes before the game live from the pitchQuote:

You have nothing to worry about then .:thumbup:Quote:

yeah they definitely look a different prospect now than a couple of years ago. you can't blame us for being pleased though when it could have been Italy or Portugal awayQuote:

If you beat the Ukraine then it will be a worry.Quote:
