Can we all put on our logical lenny lenses please and resist saying who we want to avoid????

If I question Liam Scales ability to play intl football, refer me to this signature & his peformance at home at lb vs Port on Nov 13 2025.

No. I want to avoid anything that leads to Turkey away. Thats my bottom line. I'd be fine with any of the pot 2s really for the reasons in my earlier post.
The universe can do whatever it wants with those statements.
I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
Given how important a game it is i wouldn't be surprised if whoever we face pull a Bosnia on us and hold the game in some small foggy town far from an airport and at the end of a long and ****ty road.Originally Posted by OMTY

Bring Back Belfast Celtic F.C.
I watched Wales - North Macedonia last night …..North Macedonia were brutal.
I’m resigned to the fact that we’ll end up with Wales and Denmark (away).
Slovakia are no great shakes so I’d take them in a heartbeat. I’ve not seen much of Czech Republic in recent years but no standout stars in their squad so 50/50 games against both of them.
I think Wales would be a tricky encounter but Poland away is the toughest one. A fit Lewandowski is a scary prospect.
Here we go…
Path D looks easily the most favourable

Definitely.
We've dodged Italy!
And Poland!

Not Path A…Phew!
Yesss. Path D it is.
We get Czechia!
Czechia!!!!
Bring Back Belfast Celtic F.C.
NI get Italy.
Sorry Ealing Green.
We’ll play the winner of Denmark v North Macedonia.
Thats the best draw we could’ve hoped for!
Denmark tough if we get past the Czechs, but could definitely have been worse.
I'm assuming North Macedonia lose in Copenhagen - would be a lovely spot for a friendly if it did come to it - but let's look at winning this. The Czechs lost 5-1 in Croatia and away to the Faroes. Needed a late winner at home to the Faroes too.
And we're at home in the final if we get there, which is brilliant.
And…we’d play the Final at Home.
That's a dream of a draw. We couldn't realistically have done better

Home against Denmark to qualify for the World Cup - where have I heard that before?
But have to ignore that one for now. This time last week we were looking at a comfortable defeat confirming elimination with a round to spare. Can't get too cocky just cos Parrott turns out to be God!
Totally agree. About as good as it could be. Denmark could be tricky at home but I think we've shown what we can do now and both games are absolutely winnable. Should be practicing penalties

The home draw for the final felt critical...the two games we've just had were a more difficult sequence by a distance...
Name on a trophy!!
As the draw progressed we got pretty much exactly what we wanted. So not Italy, Poland or Turkey, done - home draw in final, also done. Avod real banana skins from potential pot 4 winners eg NI, Sweden, at face value done. Now just the small matter of replicating beating a higher ranked side for 3/4 in a row or not tripping over the supposed lesser side at home. Context, first path a nighmare so luck holds and avoided. Im pretty sure the Czechs and Danes are very happy too, NM also.
