Hope we are in the bigger group always nice playing a minnow. Just need to avoid one of the decent teams in C
Should have had semi in Cardiff and final in London
London shouldn't have been involved at all.
This format should have been the opportunity for smaller nations to host something where they wouldn't normally get the chance.
Wembley getting it is clearly good for Wembly PLC financially, but it prevents smaller nations having a go and probably prevents England having a full euros again any time soon as well.
Croatia one of the weaker of the big boys
Slovakia
Hungary
England with a piss easy group as per usual, what a farce this has been
Croatia, Slovakia, Hungary and Azerbaijan
Could have been much worse
azerbaijan
would have liked some holiday'y type places...
Who did Denmark get? Don't we want them to qualify automatically now?
It was the worst format to a draw I've ever seen. Ireland basically got lucky twice just because dublin has been chosen as a host city.
There are no walk overs and got tough trips. The host cities and all the other nations league winners apart from first 4 should have made no difference
They have had a spate of retirements
Subasic, Corluka and Mandzukic have all retired, Modric, Rakitic and Kalinic are all ageing and nearing the end of their international careers, one or two more may even retire. They had a fantastic World Cup but we can match them if we play at our full potential
Slovakia are a good side, Hungary really aren't, they've lost to Kazakhstan, Scotland, Finland, Australia and Greece this year as well as drawing with Estonia and Belarus. Yes, they finished 3rd in their WC qualifying group, but they were 14 points behind second placed Switzerland and picked up 13 points (2 wins over Latvia, one over Andorra and one over Faroe Islands). They lost to Andorra.
They aren't a pushover but we really should be beating teams like this if we want to qualify, this group is winnable
I really fancy going to all 4 always. With Baku being the most attractive.
