Best draw would be prob Slovakia from top seeds

and Czech Republic from 3rd seeds

If Michael O'Neill leaves I wouldn't mind North as I don't think they'll be the same team without him in charge.

Would like a crack at Denmark again, or Northern Ireland from the third pot, wouldn’t mind beating Wales again from the first pot.

Travel wise, Austria and Czech Republic would be my preferred draw.

There has to be some conspiracy theory that we were booked up to play Turkey before the nation's league was made . Seems silly to me , also if we did get them would the game be in Antalya again ?

Its not hard. We will be in a group of 3. Win the group and we guarantee ourselves a play off place for euro 2020. If during the actual 2020 qualifiers we finish in the top 2 then disregard the nations league. If we f**k up qualification then we have a play off to fall back on.

No id imagine the nations league game would be Istanbul, The only country I havnt been to out of the possibilities is Russia so hoping for them, wouldnt fancy another trip to Copenhagen mind you.
time is the stuff that life is made of, don't waste it.

Just because you don't understand doesn't mean they're not competitive games. They are.

OK
 
So
 
Group of 3
Win it  - we get a play off
come second - ???????????
come third - ????????????
 
Actual qualifiers
Win it qualify
Come second - qualify  ?
Come third after winning earlier group of three - get a play off ??
Come third after second/third in earlier group of three - ???????????

Pretty simple, the permutations can be looked at when the euro qualifiers are over. The simple premise is as I stated. People are looking too far forward. Win your nations league group you guarantee yourself a play off. The aim must be the euro 2020 qualifiers and finishing in the top 2. If we dont then go back to the nations league and see where we stand.

So basically the 3rd place play off spot has been replaced by the nations league? That seems a lot of hassle for something that did not need to be changed and forces competitive games back from September 2018 to March 2019?

On the last option depends where the teams that finish above you in the 3 team nations league group finish in their Euro qualifier group. If they've already qualified then the play off spot goes to who finished below them in the nations league.
