Germany, France, Russia, ROI
or
Spain, Italy, Portugal, ROI

--------------------------------
Havent we proved over the last 4 yrs that we can match or at least get a result against the big teams? Italy, france, russia and a few other friendly games.

We have to get there first. No matter who we draw in the Play-offs i rate our chances as 50/50 !!

All four possible ties will be TOUGH:
Away to Turkey will be a nightmare fixture, just imagine the hostile atmosphere (wasn't a ROI player assaulted after a tie, on the pitch, years back...?)
Estonia are classed as the preferred opponent but even so they made 2nd so by no means an easy tie
Bosinia are dark horses
Montenegro are a force to be reckoned with

Pogued, you could'nt be futher from the truth, im really a happy chappy, but my country seems to bring out the worst in me, maybe im getting old and a bit of a purist, hard to say that and support derby, but players waiting in the wings would make us stronger but ain't gonna happen.
Promise ill cheer up if we get estonia.

Wipers,
Estonia fluked second place. They lost 2-0 to the Fairies in their group. Only that they had a very dodgy goal (albeit a screamer) allowed against the North they would have been out. Slovenia also scored a freak goal and Serbia missed a peno last night which also would have sent them out.
Montenegro are nothing to fear. Lost 2-0 to a poor Swiss side and lost to Wales also recently. They barely threatened us in 2 games in the last campaign
Bosnia are a decent side and one to avoid for sure. Very unlucky last night against the French.
I think Turkey are overrated. Not what they were four years ago.
The only thing is, none of these teams will be quaking in their boots at the prospect of facing us.
