Because Portugal is further away from Azerbaijan than Ireland 

How do you figure that? You must have a different map to me LOL

If you want, draw a line from Ireland to Portugal to Azerbaijan and you'll see it's like a triangle. We are slightly further away. 

Edit: Made the mistake of excluding the shape of the earth LOL Even still, the distances are very similar.

Hopefully lisbon for the Portugal game been a few times with Celtic great city

Luxembourg an unknow for me but those on a fag run its cheap enough 

could have been a lot worse will defo do baku if restrictions allow

Luxembourg city is one of the most expensive in Europe. There's very little to see there either. 
Booze, fags and petrol are cheap. Was there a few years ago and loved it. Will stay in Brussels and travel down if it’s possible to go.

Ok draw from both a football and travel viewpoint. 

Three from them were in the same group for Euro 2020 qualifiers. Serbia can be hit or miss on the day.

Hopefully fixtures will give Ireland an easier start at home.

All depends on the timing. If we have any away double headers, I wouldn't mind avoiding Azerbaijan as part of the double header.

Wonder will they get the fixtures out tonight or will it be tomorrow. They didn't say anything about it there.

Was wondering the same.

Baku is pain in the bollocks to get to. Stayed there 2 nights before Georgia away and the city is cool enough. We stayed in the old town beside a few of the embassies. Not a peep at night and cops/private security guards everywhere. It's a Muslim country but secular and very safe. People were very nice but a lot had no English. 

Did the overnight train from Baku to Tbilisi. Never again. 
Wings? They're only the band The Beatles could have been.

You have to do Azer Drums surely . 

It's just the travel for a couple of days. May depend on time of year and other fixtures.

Let's be realistic here this qualifying campaign is a learning curve for Kenny to build a team for future campaigns.

I'd put Portugal up there with France and Belgium. Have some excellent young players coming along.
