Smiley Culture Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 It will take hours to do because of how convoluted and confusing it is. Really want Germany in this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScoRoss Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Northern Ireland get screwed because of UEFA's batshit rules. And the Republic of Ireland benefit. Can imagine this goes down well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smiley Culture Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Can’t really complain for that draw for England. A relatively easy draw there, Footballing wise. From a spectating point of view, I can’t really remember England playing Czech Republic or Bulgaria in recent years and we’ve never faced Kosovo. Montenegro is a bit meh, I feel like since they’ve been involved with FIFA, we’ve played them a fair amount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had some awkward games against Montenegro. Should win the group really but Czech republic have a good record in European qualifying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the next tournament will be better quality than the last because of the process. England wanna play Czech republic away early. If we win that we have virtually qualified Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember rightly Kosovo have a decent team for a Gibraltar/San Marino like nation? Will probably be a 3-0 as opposed to an 8-0? Kosovo beat the likes of Finland recently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azeem Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 So even if the group winners from league A lose all of their matches they will still go for the play offs and can qualify from their ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they got promoted in the nations league. We should win but it won't be 8.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smiley Culture Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 England have a Friday night home game and a Saturday but it kicks-off at 5pm, which is annoying, I was hoping for a 7.45 kick-off so I could do another game that day. Most likely do the Bulgaria game, might give Czech Republic a miss as I am planning on a day out on the Saturday. Not fancying Tuesday or Thursday nights against Kosovo or Montenegro tbh.

Not bad of a group mate, Italy obviously favorites with them being poor in quite some time. We always are paired with Greece, but we should win all the other games. With our current league of nations position, we could perhaps get to the Euro spot that way. Under Prosinečki we are getting results, but i am not impressed with the performances. I am not a big fan of the national team, because in the past politics were heavily involved. Only thing i enjoy seeing is new players and young players getting their chances. If we defeat Greece i think the games against Italy will be crucial for the top spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people think that population size makes no difference. I don't agree I think a country like Bosnia will always struggle to compete with larger counties Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirBalon Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Everyone knows about Uruguay with a population of 3.4 million. But Wales with 2.8 million didn’t do too badly in the last European Championships or even Iceland with... read the number well... with 302 thousand inhabitants (not even 0.5 million). Croatia have almost 4.5 million inhabitants and just reached the World Cup Final some months back and Belgium with 10 million didn’t do too bad because infact they eliminated England with a population to choose from that reaches almost 55 million... Five times the size, 5 times the options to choose from. I could go on and on by making serious comparisons, but let’s leave it there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
