If I could hand pick a group:

That would be fun. It would be an absolute honour to lose 3-0 to a Messi hat trick, then just 1-0 wins against the other two no marks.

We will probably get a boring group but I want one of Argentina, Brazil or Germany. Pots 3 & 4 are just full of no marks.

I'd say Spain and Croatia will probably be your only real opposition, though of course there's always the chance of one of the others "pulling an Iceland" so you never know. Good luck anyway. You bastards.

Cheers TH.

It's one from each pot mate, (8 groups of four), so we can't draw Spain or Croatia.

Poland
England
Sweden
Morocco

Is a possible group, that would be boring. Imagine not qualifying from that group.

Ah. I thought those were the groups. Well then, I guess we'll have to wait and see. Kane v Ericksson would be interesting, no? ;)

I remember Denmark from 2002 in the second round. Won 3-0. Even Heskey scored :cool:

We will get through the groups this time.

I think if you come up against them I'll actually be rooting for you. You have no idea how big that is, here.

Because of Irish nationalism?

You mean the Danes because of the 5-1?

Tbh I know some Irish guys who - bants aside (obviously they will laugh when we lose) - do want England to do well. That's fair enough to me.

Yeah, and 800 years of British occupation.

I know Irish guys who, if you were playing an ISIS allstars team, would be rooting for the towelheads! :laughing:
