Ah the Welsh are friendly natured, just like us Scots.


Good group for Scotland, i have high hopes for this one.

Pnawnd da' Jay

Well the groups have been drawn and i really think this could be a tough group for Scotland, really tough, all the teams in the group can play but i think its a group Scotland can qualify from. All the teams will take points off each other so if we can stay consistant enough then we can do it. Its about time. so fingers crossed and i will defenitely be going to all the games and to Wales lol.
England i see with another easy group, usual.

Spain V France will be a good match

England have a tough group we lost to Ukraine last time and Montenegro are a good side, Poland could be tricky, other teams will be a cricket score.

agreed with the bold comment

European Zone Draw
Group A:
Croatia
Serbia/Scotland

Group B:
Italy
Czech Republic

Netherlands
Turkey

Group E:
Norway
Switzerland

Group F:
Portugal
Russia/Northern Ireland

Group G:

Slovakia

Group H:
England
Montenegro

Group I:
Spain
France

This is my prediction who will go through, not the order of first and second however - Anyone disagree with a good chance of someone pulling through?

how can you class it as easy? your talking about ENGLAND they will either make it impossible - or completly screw it up and only just get through like usual lol.

Very easy group for england but no doubt we will make it tough for ourselves lol

Group C ,,,Germany and Republic of Ireland will fight out the top 2 places easy sweden have no hope

but its still an easy group............

None of these groups are easy!



Agreed!

ok ok

it's the favoured group of them all is what he was meaning

Being of dual nationality (Belgium + Scotland), I'm devastated with this draw. Secondly, Scotland wont make it. Belgium have a great chance.

I reckon it'll be Croatia and Belgium, although if Serbia get their act together they may pip Belgium. Scotland can win all their home games, but away they will struggle, even to Macedonia/Wales. They could sneak a home win v Belgium but in Brussels Belgium will beat Scotland 2-0/3-0.

Belgium could have some team by then...

Mignolet (Sunderland)/Courtois (Chelsea/A.Madrid)

Alderweireld (Ajax) - Vermaelen (Arsenal) - Kompany (M.City) Lombaerts (Zenit)

Witsel (Liege) - Defour (Liege) - Vertonghen (Ajax) - Fellaini (Everton) - Hazard (Lille)

Lukaku (Chelsea)

Very strong team. Van Buyten and Simons may be too old by then. Nacer Chadli is up and coming and could take Witsel's place. Genk's championship winning strikeforce Jelle Vossen and Marvin Ogunjimi cause a fight up front. Other good players involve Van Damme, Ciman, Van den Borre, Mirallas, Dembele and de Sutter, along with more up and coming youths.

Belgium really need to aim for it, we don't qualify it's disappointing. If Scotland make it then it'll be one of the biggest shocks of the qualifiers. While we may not have as strong a Pot 1 team, and Serbia may still have team spirit problems, Belgium, Macedonia and Wales are awful draws for them. I'd love to see both make it through, but I honestly think Scotland have no chance.
