Don't think this can happen as the 6 biggies are in the groups of 6, we need to be in a five group to avoid them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orraloon Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Don't think this can happen as the 6 biggies are in the groups of 6, we need to be in a five group to avoid them! It could happen. There are 9 groups. 7 of the groups are 6 team groups. Only 4 of the biggies are in pot 1 and 2 are in pot 2. The 2 pot two biggies could end up in a group along with a pot 1 biggy, although it wouldn't surprise me if they fixed it so that all the biggies are kept apart. But even then there will be one group of 6 teams which doesn't have one of the biggies in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norsefox Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 (edited) I'm unconvinced by these 'easy' groups where it's unlikely we'll take 8 points from the top 2 teams but everyone will batter the minnows. In my opinion you want 6 evenly balanced teams so that anyone can win any game. I also completely disagree with the idea that Austria are the weakest Pot 2 side. Romania/Wales Bosnia/Czech Republic/Denmark (anyone but France and Italy) SCOTLAND Faroes/Bulgaria/Estonia Anyone (maybe other than Armenia) Anyone (maybe not Georgia) Edited July 24, 2015 by norsefox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rory Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 I've seen quite a few folk mention it & also BBC for dream group, but why do folk want Iceland ? Out of everyone in that group that is who i want to avoid. Must admit not watched them in this campaign but i was very impressed by them in the World Cup Qualifying... Pot 1 I would take Romania. Wales can jog right on!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PASTA Mick Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 These days their whole structure has changed though so wouldnt bank on that by a long chalk We'll see. They have some good players but this campaign is a one-off for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orraloon Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 We'll see. They have some good players but this campaign is a one-off for them. I think Iceland are like the Denmark of the 80s. They are shit hot and I would prefer to avoid them until the finals. This is their golden generation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

POT 6 Yes Please! Andorra, Malta, San Marino. Whatever! Liechtenstein, Luxembourg. GTF! Georgia, Kazakhstan. According to the SFA (which could be wrong) pot 4 has Slovenia and not Hungary. I have to say, I was hoping to get Hungary and was disappointed to see the SFA have them in the same pot as us. I thought they were in pot 4 as well.

JECK Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Is anyone else thinking Portuagal would be a decent side to draw? Obviosuly they have that freak up front but im fairly sure they've been some what erratic over the last couple of campaigns and think theres defitnitely points to be taken off them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We seem to be one of the only teams without a world class star! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
