PM Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 That could've been much tougher. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 That's a very good draw in all honesty - could have been a hell of a lot worse. It's always promising when you aviod one of the top nations, regardless of this past term. We had one of our worst ever managers this time round so we can consider this a good draw. The away trips will certainly be tough - long way to go especially with Ukraine and Kazakhstan, but i'm pleased with that. A bit excited actually, aswell.

toontownman Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Outside chance of all the home nations giving it a crack this time. If Scotland and N.Ireland plays aswell as they have been, they could really be in with a shout. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 pretty easy group tbh scotland's isnt that hard either Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coxaux Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Pretty easy group? Depends who's in charge if you ask me... Croatia, Ukraine, Belarus and Kazakhstan won't be easy away days, a combination of piss poor away form, hostile atmospheres and Sunday league style pitches may make it more tricky than one would imagine. Having said that get a half decent manger in and it should be a walk in the park... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spider Jerusalem Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 With the right man in charge we should have walked the last qualifying group, so this time round as long as the FA don't pick another Graham Taylor clone yes man....... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Only Greece could have been preferred to Croatia in Pot A, but Andorra aside, we've got some of the worst teams from each pot we could possibly have. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElDiablo Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Hope we play Croatia early. That's a definately a group we should get out of. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSG Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Only Greece could have been preferred to Croatia in Pot A, but Andorra aside, we've got some of the worst teams from each pot we could possibly have. Would rather play Croatia. Can't believe how underrated Greece still are despite winning the Euros and re-qualifying at a canter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LEFTY Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Croatia have never lost a game at home in zagreb since their independence. 17 YEARS. It is one of the best records in international history in europe. guus hiddink made these comments when russia made it at the expense of england. The reporters came running on to the ground at the final whistle as celebrations broke out as news that croatia had beaten england had filtered through. Guus was asked how he felt, he turned and said " Croatia is only a country with 4 million people, but they are world class footballers" turned, and walked off.
