    They've changed it to virtually guarantee that we don't get through the group.

    They have basically made the draw more open by removing the restriction that the teams involved in the Nations League Promotion and Relegation Play-offs must be placed in a Group of 4.

    This meant that Wales would be in a Group of 5 as 6 Pot 2 Seeded Teams were involved in play offs which in turn meant that we couldn't face Pot 3 teams like Scotland and Ireland as they were play off teams that had to be in a Group of 4.

    Also in Groups of 4 will be the winners of the Nations League Quarter Finals so being in a Group of 5 would mean it was more likely that we would avoid the best European teams.

    With the restriction removed we can now play more or less anybody and be in a group of 4 or 5.
