Hoping Italy and Austria are in the same group. Wink

Please not ... I want an interesting group, but also one where we qualify Wink

So, no Germany and no Italy and no Spain.

Remember: with an expanded tournament, the top two teams of each group and the best ranked third place team qualify directly. The remaining third placed teams go to the playoff.

Austria has a real chance of being there in 2016. In fact, I'd be kind of surprised if a smaller team like Austria didn't make it.

Well, then we might have some chance ...

The Greece/Northern Ireland/Faroer group looks better every minute ...

The England or Bosnia groups would also be OK for us though.

That Group B might be one of the biggest jokes ever. Ever.

Ughh, Russia, Liechtenstein, Moldova and Montenegro.

Not an attractive group, but not bad for qualifying (I guess).

The biggest thing would be if we get Switzerland !

Coach Marcel Koller is from Switzerland and we'd have Liechtenstein too.

Hopefully Sweden plays in Salzburg this time and not in Vienna.

I want to see that game here.

Group F is an even bigger joke than B, IMO.

Also, LOL Serbia and Albania in the same group.

Oh, yeah. Wow. Huge opportunity for Romania and Hungary to finally return to the Euros. Maybe even Northern Ireland.

How does Greece always get such easy groups? I mean, I know they're in the top seeding pot but STILL!

Anyway, not too bad for us. Russia is one of the best draws from the top seed and Austria is a pretty good one from the third. Montenegro obviously sucks to get but hopefully it won't matter.

I find it strange that we're talking about Euro 2016... in 2014.

I find it strange that you haven't been banned for being an obvious spambot.

Also, it's a bit tinged by my anti-Portuguese bias, but I could very plausibly see them getting second in Group I.
