I can see us coming second...or bottom.
nightmare draw. i reckon we won't win any away game. we'll finish a distant third again.
now, who flies to Bulgaria, Montenegro and Georgia?
the swiss got some handy group there and i'd d a swap with the north no problem
Balls :(
could have been worse , balls getting montenegro , bulgaria are beatable all in all not too bad .
Option for a double header, Montenegro and Bulgaria, the don't seem too far apart :D
Would have preferred France or Holland to Italy. Either way :rolleyes:
Group 2 is one of the easier groups I've ever seen in a European draw, Group 5 however :o
Our group is not too bad, well to think we could have got turkey, sweden, russia or england as 2nd seeds we didnt do too bad.
chance to avenge the Cyprus debacle. the player s will get the chance to prove they weren't talking through their backsides, also we get a good gage on how the new manager will be performing with the team
Good group. If we don't finish minimum of 2nd then every Ireland player should retire as they'd obviously not be good enough:).
The bad and the good of the draw.
Bad.
Cyprus, Georgia and Montenegro are seeds below us that you would prefer to have avoided.
Good.
Bulgaria are one of the 2nd seeds that most teams wanted.
2nd place is definitely possible.
shame really..... was reading live updates on the Guardian site and it has before englands group...''easiest group''....hope they dont qualify out of it so!!
would have been nice to have gotten Greece, Poland or the Czechs again but at least we got a moderate 2nd seed though and we have had harder groups in the past!!
I genuinely feel sympathy for you with that draw. Every single game will be difficult. Good luck fellas, I reckon you'll need it to get out of that.
Our draw was looking good until we got Russia and Germany. No chance of qualifying, realistically, but 3rd place is achievable.
