Russia, Switzerland, Lithuania, Albania, San Marino would be a good group for us (Ireland). We'll probably get Holland & Serbia.
You do realise now its official then everything has to stay in this thread for two and a half years
What if france beat ireland via a triple handball by henry?
When's the draw? It's hard to get very excited about it with the World Cup still to come. Unless your team's not in the World Cup, of course...
Apparently armenia and azerbaijan couldn't be drawn together due to political reasons. Maybe scotland could try that technique and ask to avoid spain italy england germany france portugal etc.
They'd still blow it of course.

Czech Republic aren't very good any more. Scotland could easily finish second in that group.

Tough group for Israel (aren't Georgia very underrated?) but if we get a capable head coach, I think we can finish 2nd as I don't think Greece are that good anymore.

Not to happy about our draw to be honest.
Both Norway and Iceland would go that extra mile to beat us and Portugal will probably want revenge on us beating them for the top spot the last time around.
Still reckon we'll progress of course.
What's the Norwegians take on the group? Hansern? Insig?

You must be joking, right?
Rafa is miles better than any coach we would ever get. In fact I think he's far better than most coaches anybody can get.
And I can't see us getting any better than 3rd. Greece will still finish ahead of us, and Croatia always have a good side. Good enough to win this group anyway.

I think he'd be a brilliant international manager actually. His forté is important, one-off matches where tactics are more important than pace and power - you'd probably win the World Cup with Rafa in charge.

If Rafa seems at times to struggle to motivate Liverpool players, how pray tell will he motivate spoiled Israelis? You need an Israeli coach, one who understands the mentality and plays the hot hands. Berkovic for me.

Eyal Berkovic? I take it he's a manager now then? Where's he at?
