Tough for Scotland going in with Spain.

England reunion with Italy.

jacool · 09-10-2022 11:30AM

We will get Group B

breezy1985 · 09-10-2022 11:32AM

At least with B we wouldn't be expected to qualify.We would get G and still not qualify.

Pot 2 is so lopsided

Mr.Nice Guy · 09-10-2022 11:33AM

Haaland vs Spain and Scotland.

Oh ffs. Group B for Bollocks.

breezy1985 · 09-10-2022 11:34AM

Fuuuuuukkkkk.

Even group C would have been more fun

jacool · 09-10-2022 11:34AM

We got Group B

Mr.Nice Guy · 09-10-2022 11:43AM

Could have been worse for NI.

Brian017 · 09-10-2022 11:44AM

We're finishing 4th if we're lucky in that group. Best hope most of the teams ranked above in the NL qualify and we fluke a Play-off spot

jacool · 09-10-2022 11:44AM

NED - FRA - IRE - GRE - GIB

Bloody hell. The winners from 1984, 1988, 2000 and 2004. Not a bother!

Ya but tough games and none big marque games.

Better than us though.

NIMAN · 09-10-2022 11:46AM

Some very tough groups and then others very average.

Uefa need to look at how they make up groups.

citytillidie · 09-10-2022 11:47AM

Group A: Spain, Scotland, Norway, Georgia & Cyprus

Group B: Netherlands, France, Ireland, Greece & Gibraltar

Group C: Italy, England, Ukraine, North Macedonia & Malta

Group D: Croatia, Wales, Armenia, Türkiye & Latvia

Group E: Poland, Czechia, Albania, Faroe Islands & Moldova

Group F: Belgium, Austria, Sweden, Azerbaijan & Estonia

Group G: Hungary, Serbia, Montenegro, Bulgaria & Lithuania

Group H: Denmark, Finland, Slovenia, Kazakhstan, Northern Ireland & San Marino

Group I: Switzerland, Israel, Romania, Kosovo, Belarus & Andorra

Group J: Portugal, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Iceland, Luxembourg, Slovakia & Liechtenstein

Mr.Nice Guy · 09-10-2022 11:50AM

Looks like we're relying on the play-off route then.

Big question is who will be in charge of France and the Netherlands because it's far from clear Deschamps and Van Gaal will be staying on after the World Cup. Might be Zidane in the dugout.

Very hard to get excited about a lot of them groups. Honestly could not care who gets out of E and I for instance.

Isn't Koeman taking over after the WC?

kerplun k · 09-10-2022 11:58AM

Group of death for Ireland. I’ll look forward to going to the home games against France and Netherlands.

Kermit.de.frog · 09-10-2022 11:59AM

Ir's a good group for us because we'll find out whether we've progressed at all.

If we can't at least give the top teams a game we shouldn't be going to a tournament anyway.

No good qualifying only to be humiliated.

kerplun k · 09-10-2022 12:01PM

Exactly how I see it.

Mr.Nice Guy · 09-10-2022 12:05PM

I'd missed that. Makes sense given Van Gaal's health issues.

Do the national teams get to divvy out the ties, or do UEFA have to ensure that there are no clashes of big games, or the like?

Patsy167 · 09-10-2022 01:58PM

Northern Ireland will surely fancy their chances with that draw.

They are certainly better than their seeding but pot 5 qualifying i'de say is very rare.

Since the last nations league when Sky and ITV lost the central contract from UEFA, it maybe Geo Blocked here with the games on Virgin Media too but no details yet of which games will be on Virgin channels

breezy1985 · 23-03-2023 08:44PM

Napoli serving up 2 of the worst renditions of national anthems I have ever seen outside a junior B hurling match.

namloc1980 · 23-03-2023 09:07PM

England gonna waltz through another qualifying group by the look of it.

Cartman78 · 23-03-2023 09:21PM

Italy wearing Adidas kit is just wrong.

I can't explain why exactly but it's just not right
