    Euro 2012 - Who do you want to draw?

    Seedings

    Spain Germany Holland Italy England Croatia Portugal France Russia

    Greece Czech Sweeden Switzerland Serbia Turkey Denamrk Slovakia Romania

    Israel Bulgaria Finland Norway Rep of Ireland Scotland Nor Ireland Austria Bosnia-Herzegovina

    Slovenia Latvia Hungary Lithuania Belarus Belguim Wales MAcedonia Cyprus

    Montenegro Albania Estonia Georgia Moldova Iceland Armenia Kazakhstan Liechtenstein

    Azerbaijan Luxemburg Malta FAroe Islands Andoora San Marino



    Time to move on, who do we want in our group, I certainly want a 6 team group as it's an extra trip


    My group would be
    Croatia
    Switzerland
    Republic of Ireland
    Macedonia
    Lichenstein
    Faroe Islands

    My choices are based on revenge as im still bitter from Weds and couldnt stomach playing France again in the short term, Faroes are thrown in for having fog the last time and stopping me getting there

    Would agree with you except swap Switzerland for Romania and Faroe Islands for San Marino, wouldn't fancy Faroe Islands with all of Brian Kerrs inside info available.

    Second that. And Sweden, Hungary, Estonia & Luxembourg.

    If those cnuts from UEFA/FIFA are reading, it's the very least you owe us.

    And the first game in Paris.

    But knowing our luck it'll be Spain, Serbia, Slovenia, Montenegro & Azerbaijan.

    If it's the latter, we should lobby Iceland, Greenland, Canada & the US for a mid-Atlantic group in with the Inuits. We might finally find justice....

    If we do get France, being top seeds they'll have all the clout at the fixtures meeting, and will get pretty much whatever they want. Would be nice to play them again in Paris first though.

    Considering the FIFA association is as corrupt as fianna fail I dont think we will get France - Platini and Blatter will not allow it..

    (1/9) x (1/9) x (1/9) x (1/9) x (3/9), so 19,682-1 for that five-team group I think.

    Let's merge all the five FAs into one- they couldn't fail to qualify even if there was a blind referee/ FIFA conspiracy/ fixed playoff with Slovenia.

    .......so no different to any other combination of predicted teams, save for the 5/6 team group differential. i.e. its no more or less likely than any other combination*

    Group most likely to qualify from -
    Croatia
    Romania
    Wales
    Liechtenstein
    Andorra

    Croatia are past it and struggled in their group this time -

    On a seperate note - what is the qualification criteria?
    I.e. is it the first 2 qualify for the first and then 2nd teams into a (fixed and seeded) playoff?

    9 Group Winners
    Best 2nd Placed team
    Remaining 8 runners up to paly off for 4 places

    Method for determining Best 2nd place team and play off draw at the discretion of Mr Platini

    I love this time of year.

    For qualification hopes
    France - revenge
    Slovakia - second seeds? I know they're going to the World Cup, but we did more than match them under Stan.
    Ireland
    Latvia
    Liechtenstein
    San Marino

    For travel
    Croatia
    Switzerland
    Ireland
    Latvia
    Kazakhstan
    Andorra

    To avoid
    England/Spain
    Turkey
    Ireland
    Slovenia
    Montenegro

    No matter who we get, I think we need to get our matches against the top two seeds over with before the last 2 dates, which should be against the lowest seeds.
