We’ve struggled against Montenegro in previous campaigns before, the Czechs and Bulgarians aren’t the forces that they once were and I don’t know much about Kosovo.

It’ll be hard for Northen Ireland and Scotland to finish in the top 2 in The their respective groups but at least the Jocks already have a play off spot in the bag.

Yup. Disappointing that the qualifiers have now reverted to type, especially with England. It’s going to be dull football with no competition from next March.

Reasonably content with our draw. There are a lot harder groups e.g B,C,F,J and there could have been better ones G, H.

Belgium should win at least 90% of their games, if they do slip up hopefully it'll be to us but no doubt it'll be to Russia. Russia - had a great WC, but it'll be different in qualifying ; didn't win their Nations League group and Akinfeev has retired so who knows we might beat them in Glasgow but probably lose in Moscow, so could well come down to how we do against the rest. Cyprus and Kazakhstan - 0-1 in both games please, don't care how we play just do it. Cyprus are a decent 4th seed and rarely lose by more than 2 goals. Kazakhstan likewise, lots of draws of late and 2-1, 2-3 losses etc, then again if you want to qualify you can't be going there and playing like dug shite and losing 1-0. San Marino - probably the worst 6th seed, 6pts no excuses.

England - look a decent side under Southgate. Kosovo, Bulgaria, and Montenegro away though will be excellent trips. Kosovo have not lost (I think) a game for about a year. It would be great if they could get second as the Czechs are nothing of note at present; and Montenegro and Bulgaria both seem to stutter to 3rd or 4th in qualifying. Anyone's game for 2nd.

Wales - I'm not sure about Giggs, and we'll see how he does in the competitive games, but Hungary, Slovakia, Azerbaijan and Croatia away doesn't sound like 9pts at all. Then again all those sides probably could beat each other on a different day so it could well be a very open group.

Ireland - tough, but fortunate considering they were drawn out for C but due to host cities being in the same group so they were punted to D. Switzerland are brilliant at home, Denmark have played Ireland 4 times in the last year and it's 2 wins for the Danes and 2 draws, but maybe with Mick in charge and revamped team, they'll have a point to prove and some payback esp for the 5-1 loss in Dublin. Georgia have always been a decent side who try to play good football with lots of skill, but never really pushed on, they romped their group in the Nations League (albeit D) but Ireland have gone there and won in the past so they might again, and Gibraltar should be 6 pts even with their decent wee run of late.

NI - you never know, Windsor seems a bit of a fortress and there has been some memorable nights, but the Dutch and Germans in the same group is tough luck, even if Germany are toiling a bit, you'd imagine it'll be those two. Estonia are shite. Belarus won their D League so that won't be easy.

Looking forward to it all, and roll on March.
