Should be a cracker in estadio da Luz! Hoping for a Porto win and a Denmark playoff. We are all wishing for a trip to Basel or Copenhagen so it's going to be costly for everyone if we draw either team! that's the downside of drawing either of them not nice on the ol bank balance. Looking as well Swiss seem to mix up where they play their games, Looks like Basel is the main place but they have played in Geneva, Lucerne and St. Gallen in the last two campaigns.

Switzerland is small and very easy to get around. You'll be able to get to any potential venue within a few hours. Trains are reasonably priced fwiw.

Getting there and back would be a piece of piss alright but it's the rush for tickets that would be an issue (again) anywhere other than Basel.

Italy alternate their venues also. Nightmare trying to book flights before the costs rocket.

Croatia or the Italians would be an absolute national tragedy. 

The Italians I hope would surely announce the venue before or straight after the draw? The other countries are fine as they either play in the same venue all the time or the country is small. The Italians could have us anywhere.

A world cup without Italy? No way. They always get over the line.

Venues wise, what are we talking?

No, the team that's drawn first in each tie will be at home 1st (or at least that was the case for the Euro 2016 play-offs). this time the teams are picked and then the two are put into a separate pot where the first team out are home in the first leg.
