What about the Swiss? Baku, Rome then back to Baku, we’ve had the better deal of the the three outsiders in the group travel wise. I know the Turks are more or less home now but opening in Rome meant they drew the short straw in the sequence of fixtures, if they’d have had our order of play they’d quite likely be going to Rome with six points given the ‘home’ advantage. Baku was a ridiculous choice of venue and the envelope they passed to Platini must have been as thick as a docker’s wallet.
