Pot 1
Italy
England
Belgium
Spain
Ukraine
Germany
Pot 2
France
Switzerland
Croatia
Poland
Russia
Netherlands
Pot 3
Portugal
Turkey
Denmark
Austria
Sweden
Czech R.
We are in Pot 4
Unless I'm reading it wrong
Best case: Ukraine, Netherlands, Czech R.
Worst case: Germany, France, Portugal.
The only bug is that there isn’t one country you can drop anchor and explore- next years Euro’s are held in twelve different cities across twelve different countries culminating in the semi’s and final at Wembley stadium 😟
Couldn't think of a better venue to win the whole thing by beating the hosts.Quote:

Dont agree with how they have seeded it and im not saying that because of our position in pot 4. You are basically being penalised twice for having a tougher group. Whilst its good that there are no nothing games i dont think its fair.
I like the idea of sharing it across europe but i dont think you should get home advantage. Should be less rigid in terms of venues and confirmed once groups are drawn and have qualified so fans have easier travelling.
That bottom group cannot be right to have 3 of 4 teams already confirmed?
Someone at ESPN has worked out, god knows how, that because of host nations and playoffs we will either be in Group A with Italy or Group B with Belgium, Russia and Denmark. It could have been worse I suppose.
Rome and Baku or St Petersburg and Copenhagen. i think you get at least 2 games in one city right?Quote:

What a great game to play!!
Going to be an interesting 5 months for many of those on the fringes of the wales squad. Not sure what Chesters injury update is but he needs to return soon to stand any chance.Quote:

Therefore we're either in B alongside Belgium, Russia & Denmark
or A alongside Italy and 9 other potential nations. Worst case, Italy, France & Portugal. Best case Italy, Switzerland, Austria?
Italy, France and PortugalQuote:

I read somewhere we were going to be playing games in either Russia and Copenhagen or Italy too and that was before we qualified.
I’ve no idea how they work that stuff out.
So their insistence on having so many hosts has just about ****ed up any chance of fair groups then.Quote:

Plus all the travel. This is all ridiculous.Quote:

Glad we qualified as we need to get in the habit of it, and it only helps our players gain experience, but honestly it’s hard to get REALLY excited over with all that ****ing about they’re doing with it.
Just give it to one country.
It clearly hasn’t been thought through for those teams who are not hosts.Its puts us at a massive disadvantage.Quote:

Was looking forward to the draw but now that I know we are definitely group a or b it'll be a bit of a let down
Winner of playoff path d could also end up in groups a and b
Do they source everything from this board?

Even timed to the minute with my original :hehe:
I got group stage tickets for St. Petersburg through the initial draw. I've already booked my accommodation. Would be amazing if it ended up being a Wales game. I'm not usually that lucky though.Quote:

It's a draw in name only. They are virtually choosing who plays who, when and where.Quote:

Surprised the environmentalists haven't got involved as its going to drastically increase everyones carbon footprint.
I wonder if Platini’s deep tank got a bit fuller after the awarding of the fixtures?
