Hi,

Does anyone know what station this will be shown on and at what time?

I watched the Euro 2012 draw on Eurosport, I guess it could be the same?

It's on RTE2 at 8:15: http://www.rte.ie/ten/listings/16399..._Cup_2014_Draw

Thank you sir!

Excellent! - I am looking forward to this now.

Really excited about this (even if somewhat confused why this is happening so early)

Looking at the pots, as usual there is some horrible possibilites, but more than normal there are some really nice ones too.

New thread so not going to jinx it by saying who I'd like us to avoid, but if we could avoid any derbies (either with teams or coaches ;-)), and have a bit of Luxembourg, Latvia, Lithuania, Slovenia and Norway, that would be great. If you're listening up there Batman, please make it so!

The Asian campaign has already started. There are prelims this week with some big countries involved (all bar the Koreas, Australia, China and Japan I think)

That sunny group wouldn't be the handiest on the field either. The bad group is very bad.

Italy or Norway? Italy or Norway??

Italy are through before the draw is complete. We could be fighting with Norway for the final play-off spot.

Again.

Kerr is just praying he gets a chance to take key points off us in front of the nice 2,000 fan crowd in the Faroes.

[BonnieShels]

I don't think he cares.
Delighted with his role in moving the Faeroes up a pot. That it contributes to the fall of Wales is also welcome.

We qualified for 1990, 1994 and 2002 coming out of possibly the toughest of groups each time. I would love us to get Spain as our first seed (as in 90 and 94). After that I don't care who we get from Pots2/4/5/6.
