I fancy our best chance of qualification would come from a group like this

1) Greece - everyone will want them as their top seed

2) Poland - Seen a bit of them, not that great, certainly beatable. Perhaps Romania otherwise

3) Norway - after seeing the way Sctland beat them, I'd fancy our chances

4) Ourselves

5)Wales. Think we'd beat them and a bit of local interest. Quite fancy a trip to the Millenium Stadium too

6)Moldova - don't want the wee six and all baggage associated with it. Very bored with Cyprus now. Certainly don't fancy Skopje again although maybe third time lucky

7) San Marino - nuff said.

Who do you want????

Good draw - Greece, Poland, Bulgaria, Ireland, Iceland, Cyprus, San Marino
Bad draw - Holland, Spain, Serbian & Montenegro, Ireland, Wales, Georgia, Faroes
Interesting draw for travel - Sweden, Croatia, Bulgaria (just because I missed going out there when UCD played in the InterToto!), Ireland, Wales/Estonia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, San Marino (one of the groups will have two bottom-seed teams).

From a good night out point of view Denmark and Iceland

**Only2keanos** · 14/10/2005, 12:58 PM

England, Italy, Denmark, Iceland, Cyprus and Malta. We only ever qualify from tough groups so bring it on. When does the draw take place anyway?

At least we wont get Switzerland again this time

**gspain** · 14/10/2005, 1:22 PM

Greece (obvious)
Romania (go there on business anyway )
Bulgaria (old enough to want revenge for 77 & 87)
Estonia
NI (just to see some GAA neanderthals do cartwheels when they see the Union Jack and GSTQ at Croker for NI which has to be far far worse for them than seeing it for England which they keep saying is their worst nightmare)
and finally
we will definitely get Kazakhstan but anybody else as it will cost a bloody fortune.

**NeilMcD** · 14/10/2005, 1:39 PM

Greece
Poland
Norway/Slovakia/Bulgaria
Ireland
Hungary
Northern Ireland
Luxembourg

This would have a few nice trips as Athens, Warsaw, Budapest, Bratislava and Luxembourg would be all be good trips.

**dublinred** · 14/10/2005, 1:53 PM

Netherlands , Spain, Slovakia, Wales, Malta and Cyprus

The away trips would be awsome , not too bothereed abouyt qualifying Switzerland is a boring , exepnsive place.

How the hell are Greece considered a top seed?

'Cause they're the holders maybe

**ranting rover** · 14/10/2005, 2:44 PM

I'd imagine that none of the teams in the top 3 seeds would want us as a fourth seed...

**Roo69** · 14/10/2005, 2:56 PM

Pot 1 - England or Sweden
Pot 2 - Poland or Greece
Pot 3 - Bulgaria or Slovakia
Pot 4 - Ireland
Pot 5 - Iceland or Finland
Pot 6 - Cyprus or Northern Ireland
Pot 7 - San Marino

Taking travel etc... into form i would be happish with this sort of group.

**tetsujin1979** · 14/10/2005, 2:56 PM

my ideal group would be Sweden, Croatia, Bulgaria, Republic of Ireland, Finland, Cyprus, Faroe Islands
