I think the best hope is to have a France or another top pot 1 team so then all we have to do is focus on 2nd place. Those teams won’t drop points against anyone else. I’d rather us be in a battle for 2nd with one other team rather than a battle with four teams for spots 1 and 2. 
 

 

If that makes sense!

I was thinking of that scenario as well. Maybe Greece can pick up a result as we did vs Belgium last WCUP qualifying and hope that one of these powerhouse teams just wins all there games vs the other teams in the group. 
I would feel more comfortable drawing Denmark or Croatia from POT 1.

Not asking for too much am I? 

This would be the greatest draw. God willing.

The most important team for us will come out of pot 2.. Chances are who ever comes out of the first pot will take the group so having a weaker team in group 2 is key for us.. Also let’s hope we don’t draw Bosnia again out of pot 4.

Good point I don’t want Switzerland at all or Ukraine. Bosnia are on the decline with an aging Dzeko and a back line that is in shambles. I wouldn’t fear them at all. Bosnia don’t want Greece they’ve only beaten Greece one time.

Switzerland i want nothing to do with because we never get results against them.

Also this will sound ridiculous but in terms of minnows , i want nothing to do with Faroes.

France, England, Belgium, Spain, Germany Greece.

Use the easier matches to try different combinations and to blood youngsters at this level.

We would have had Azerbaijan instead of Kosovo but do to restraints Serbia and Kosovo can’t be in the same group so they moved Kosovo with us
