Think we got the easiest group there like!

yet again England get an easy group.....

Scotland though, just as we are beginning to create a team which I believe could bring some serious pride back into Scottish football, we get lumped with Italy, France, and the Ukraine.....



The only real hope would be to beat these teams at Hampden (whcih we've proven we can do) and then keep things tight away from home. These teams will all take points off of each other, including Georgia and Lithuania, and we might slip though in second....

England got a good draw. New manager should have no problems dealing with this.

Good draw for Holland also..

Ireland have a decent draw, it will be tough against Germany and the Czech Republic but I think we can beat them at home and hopefully get a draw away from home. Wales will be an interesting tie and could be a bananaskin for us along with Slovakia. We came through a tougher group than this in 2002 though when we had Holland and Portugal and we ended the group unbeaten so Im feeling good at the moment about the draw

Wales are out before we have kicked a ball haha. I think Welsh football is back on the decline

As for England - they will breeze that group hopefully. Would of been nice to see them in Group B though. I would like to see them in a tough group. I think they would come through any of those groups to be honest.

Group C is wide open, Greece are not the team they were in 04 so any of the top 5 teams there could go through.

OH MY [censored] GOD! I see Scotland got screwed over woth Italy and France whilst England get screwed over with...ermm...Israel FIX!

Edit by O Dogg - swearing removed from post

we have at least 2 wins guarenteed though because of San Marino

It's a good draw for Scotland, not for qualification but for Scotland fans to see some quality football at Hampden. I will be trying to get tickets for the France, Italy and Ukraine games.

However you never know we beat Holland 1-0 at Hampden, a one off game and the team plays well we might get 4th place afterall!

why are france, italy and ukraine at the same group when the group c has got only weak teams??

What are you on about?!

simply put, that was the way the draw went today..........

This always seems to happen to us! We have got by far the hardest group! And like Hoopy said...FIX!!

I dont think they could ever get away with fixing draws. England got lucky, simple as.

Totally decent group for us , the new manager shouldnt see too many problems there.

While watching the draw i thought we were going to go straight in Group D.

Its not all that bad for Ireland, The Czechs wont be as strong when Nedved retires again and Germany are not the team they used to be. I can see us scraping through in 2nd

My prediction is...

Group A:Portugal & Serbia
Group B:Italy & France
Group C:Turkey & Norway or Greece
Group D:Germany & Ireland
Group E:England & Russia
Group F:Sweden & Spain
Group G:Holland & Romania

Group D Germany & Ireland?! You've got Czech Republic in there mate!

I agree, i don't think that Ireland will finish above Germany or Czech Republic.
