Wales seek tough Euro 2008 start(Also contains our fixture list)

I think it's a decent draw; not really much to add except to say that if we're going to start the campaign worrying about teams like Cyprus we're obviously not going to get very far! We have to go into the qualifiers with sufficient confidence to assume that Cyprus and San Marino are not going to pose a problem.

Jaysus, Klein, always something optimistic to say eh..

And did you know if we lose all 4 we'll have no points. Surprised you didn't point that out. By the way, if we win all four we'll have 12 points (just to save you doing the calculation).

Considering that we didn't have much clout when it came to bargaining the fixtures are not too bad. One good thing is that we don't have any games in June of next year. The one thing I wouldn't be happy about (already mentioned by NeilMcD) is that we don't play on the last day of matches. This is quiet a disadvantage as we may well have to rely on other results to be in with a chance of qualifying, and seeing as the Czechs, Germans and Slovaks should all win their last matches, if we are to qualify we need to do so at the Millennium Stadium at the latest.
