Hungary
Finland
Ireland
Kazakhstan
Latvia

Hungary pop up as the best possible pot 1 team going by fifa rankings though when does that update. The teams based on elo rankings is a little out of date as France and Belgium come up as the worst seeds when Spain and Netherlands should be though France and Belgium top the FIFA rankings for Europe.

Think avoiding Turkey and Slovakia as 4th and 5th is the best outcome. Kazakhstan could be a tricky away trip and won promotion to League B for the next campaign. Would rather avoid a Pot 4 team that is gonna be in League B next season.

I'd take tricky 4th and 5th seeds over avoiding England and France. We really do need to avoid them two would be a nightmare draw for us. 

We have shown in the Nations League we are on the right track to an extent and there's no team in Pot 2 outside those I would be quaking at. We have played Scotland Serbia and Ukraine and acquitted ourselves very well. They are as good as what we could possibly meet from pot 2 outside of those two.

Avoiding England and France is everything really as regards our chances.

Most, if not all of the 4th seeds are going to be tricky particularly away from home, they have been for a while now and predates Kenny - I'd nearly prefer to get one with some international pedigree such as Greece so I dont have to listen to lads bleating on about how we should be beating them, so we should, Kazakhstan a case in point.

Hungary's performance in the Euros and their subsequent results in the Nations League have been very, very good. They are also a young team and have a couple of genuine top quality players - I think there are probably weaker/older teams in Pot 1 from a purely footballing pov. I'd prefer Swiss, Danes (despite recent achievements), Poles.

A bit of fun.
Few groups where I thought, we could get out of that. Many where its like "Ah f**k we'd be screwed" 


I ran it 20 times on random there, 8 were groups of "Ah f**k we'd be screwed" the rest were fairly grand. I'm suddenly more confident LOL

Italy
Czechia
Republic of Ireland
Kosovo
Slovakia
Andorra

That would be a tricky group but one where you would imagine teams will take a lot of points off one another - could end up suiting us being in a group like that. Could end up anywhere between 2nd and 5th in a group like that.

Aye, sure it kills the time between now and the 9th. It's more craic than the never ending circular arguments going on in the other threads (guilty as charged for that Smile )

Imagine!!! Clap Cool Heart

I thought the 2019 double header of Tbilisi and Geneva was great but that was many miles and hours in the air apart!!!
