it's on RTE2, and live on RTE Player
going on past events, the actual draw itself will probably only take up the last half hour of the 2 hour show!

I drew us in Pot E with England, Switzerland and Hungary. Have to say I'd fancy it.
Spain
Ukraine
Czech Rep
Republic of Ireland
Yuck... difficulty rating 5/10 apparently but wouldn't like the look of it at all.
I'd actually quite fancy the group Tets apologised for!

I don't have an iota who we'll be drawn with, from the available choices.

It's a little England-centric (obviously) but they think from a travel and tickets point of view, group D is the one to get
We all are.
I'm curious to find out what transpires but I can wait until the draw has finished in order to find out. Wild horses couldn't drag me in front of the tv to view the draw. If I was given an either/or ultimatum, I'd probably rather risk snuffing it while watching a 2 hour Daniel O'Donnell special, rather than sit through a Euro trash draw.
I pick ...
Germany - I don't think that we can be aiming to win the group but having the Germans in with us will mean no cheap points for the other teams, plus we can beat them.
Switzerland - Seem to be the weakest in Pot 2.
Hungary - I hope we can beat them.
Looking at the betting I see that only a half dozen teams are highly rated, the rest are pretty average and beatable. The key is probably to avoid Italy from Pot 2 and we can sail through to the next round. Even a good 3rd in the group will do us?
Well Drogheda Utd and Hunky Dorey Park gets a mention in there.Quote:

Bring on more dull football, a whole month of it!
And being ripped off by the French.
Can't imagine too many being engrossed in the shenanigans that go with it but I'll definitely be watching when they start pulling the teams out.Quote:
