    1 or 4. Let's face it, we're going to be grouped with Italy!

    I'd take your arm of for any draw that avoids Poland and Italy with a potential final in Dublin.

    Worth noting that I think I read somewhere if we lose our semi, we play a friendly against the side that lost to the team we would have reached in the final

    Which sounds an awful punishment tbh

    The absolute worst case scenario is playing that game in Windsor Park.

    whens the draw on lads?

    I dont fear any of those pot 2 teams really. We've proven we can go toe to toe with better. Its 90 mins and we know what we have to do (actually assume it is potentially 120 mins and penos)
    I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.

    That sounds like the worst Sunday afternoon of a stag weekend ever.

    Everyone Ive spoken to says just not Poland and I wish they'd quit cause thats exactly who'll come out of the hat. I think there are teams saying not Ireland, the really annoying just go away kind of side people hate to play, like UCD. Italy are more solid in name than current side, Denmark are not the side we suffered humiliation to in that previous playoff. Turkey would scare me. Ukraine not really, I dont think all will beat Pot4. Czechia or Slovakia or Wales the wont want to draw us for good reason and thats that we've shown we can beat good sides and have done it under pressure. Were on an upward trend too if we dont implode. Id nearly be more concerned about pitentially playing N.i. just cause ye never know in that kind of derby match. Avoid the 2 home nations and all 3 of us go through!! too perfect to have all 4 + ourselves.....
