Turkey mainly Asia as is Israel, Kazakhstan. Russia less so.
We need less teams, not more.
Russia is very much mainly Asia, land mass wise anyway. Same with Turkey, but it is partially in Europe, although AB seems to think that's a matter of opinion. Galatasaray and Fenerbahce's rivalry is an interesting one in that Galatasaray are based in Europe with Fenerbahce in Asia, so the cultural differences are vast compared to most city derbies.
95% of Turkey is in Asia tbf.
Nobody's disputing that tbf.
Ever have Asian Turkey? It's Turkey with soy sauce. They deep fry it at crackbird and drape it in vinegar.
It should probably be noted that 10 million people live in that 5%.Quote:

Jesus, why do UEFA feel the need to drag this particular draw out?
Not Ukraine! Or Sweden!
Ukraine playing Slovenia, dodged that bullet
Sweden playing Denmark. Still Bosnia in the draw.
Bosnia it is.
second worst team to draw for us IMO. Second leg at home is a bonus.
anyone know when will the dates be announced?
Within an hour I thinkQuote:

Yes but Slovenia got Ukraine. I want Slovenia at EURO 2016, it gives Ireland a chance at Pot 3 instead of Pot 4 for the group draw, if we make it.Quote:

Flip of a coin between those two really and gun to my head I would have preferred Bosnia I think. Not so sure being at home in the second leg is an advantage for us, but I'll bow to the superior knowledge of the general consensus on that one.Quote:

Anyway, it could have been much much worse.
Confirmed dates for Bosnia-Ireland
Friday Nov 13: Bosnia v Ireland
Monday Nov 16: Ireland v Bosnia
Ah FFS, a Monday night!! Doesn't help make this the occasion it deserves to be
Looking at their squad. By and large a similar level to ourselves. Nothing to fear
I think it's a decent draw. It's there to be won
We may as well start booking our trips for France, even with our limited management staff and dodgey defence we will stroll the play offs.
Euro 2016 here we come.
Give it a rest Sean.
Conceded less goals than any other team in our group. Took 4 points off the world champions as well. Not a bad effort for a team with a dodgy defence and a limited manager.
Says a lot for poor old SSL when he can't even get into Irelands dodgy defence. :ball:Quote:

That's a close one to call. B&H are OK, but nothing special overall. Over the two games, there was very little between us and them. They did have injuries throughout the group though. Dzeko was not fit for the second game which they won 2-0 despite us edging the game statistically. Having watched the Republic a few times in this campaign too I feel safe in predicting there won't be more than the odd goal in it. It's probably like that pie chart suggests in that there is a decent chance for you to qualify but B&H are slight favourites, however, I disagree that the prospects of a good draw are poor from pot 4 - potentially some very reasonable sides to be drawn from pots 2 and 3.
