POT 1 POT 2 POT 3 POT 4 POT 5 Germany Ukraine Scotland Bulgaria Moldova Spain Turkey Slovenia Luxembourg Malta Italy Sweden Republic of Ireland Belarus Andorra Portugal Wales Albania Armenia Gibraltar France Poland Finland Kosovo Liechtenstein Denmark Hungary Georgia Kazakhstan San Marino Croatia Serbia North Macedonia Azerbaijan Netherlands Slovakia Iceland Estonia England Greece Northern Ireland Cyprus Belgium Romania Bosnia and Herzegovina Latvia Switzerland Czechia Montenegro Faroe Islands Austria Norway Israel Lithuania Unfortunately, since we are playing in the Nations League playoffs, we will be in a 4 team WCQ group. All teams in Nations League playoffs will be drawn in 4 team WCQ group. That means we will get drawn with either Germany, Spain, Italy, Portugal, France, Denmark, Croatia, Netherlands, Belgium. Based on this, I don't think its possible to get Austria or Switzerland as our pot 1 opponent. Give me Denmark, Croatia, or Belgium as our POT 1 opponent. Easiest Group imo : Denmark, Greece, Iceland, Faroe Islands Hardest Group : France, Greece, Scotland, Bulgaria

Nope, the playoff for Nations League will be on Nov 22nd. World Cup Qualifier draw is Dec 13

The draw will be on November 22nd. The only team we want to avoid will be Belgium. The other choices are Poland/Scotland , Hungary, Serbia/Denmark.

This doesn’t qualify us for WC. What it does is promotional playoff for league A. Also gives us a chance for playoff for WCQ

What a goal by Tzolis. 3-0 England

Red Card to Ireland. That game will end up 3-0 for the Brits

1-0 England

Imagine England draws and we can’t beat the Fins. Fireable offense

Mantalos is terrible

Ugly game so far. We are content with keeping possession but we aren’t really challenging them

Realistically, need 3 wins to advance. Even 2 wins and 2 draws probably won't do it. Luckily, we will be favored in 2 of those. So need to eek out a win in Spain or vs Prague

Pavlidis looked slow and lethargic yesterday. England had him chasing all over and I don't even think he had a look on goal. They exposed both of our LBs pretty easily. Tzolis had a stinker as well.

Humiliated at home with many of England’s B players. Not the best

Pickford, after shitting the bed first game, has played amazing this game

We are playing like the Greece from 2 years ago. Zero possession. Zero speed.

We are playing not to give up another goal. Blac Houdini’s with a huge save

This is such an ugly performance on a Huge stage.

https://www.theguardian.com/football/live/2024/nov/14/greece-v-england-nations-league-live-score-updates Kane not starting, on the bench

Kane just listed as "Out" by the Guardian for today's match as well.

Maybe he will announce his resignation.......

If England win by 1, our gd drops to +7, theirs goes up to +6. So we’d then need to beat Finland by 2/3 goals to be safe

This will be very difficult, as England will not want the embarrassment of finishing 2nd and risking staying in division B. We shall see!

I love how Russia just plays teams like Syria, Iraq, Brunai, Cuba . Wonder at what point do they get back into the regular fixture list

I think we need a bald headed guest..... @pash you around!?
