    Bosnia at World Cup and Belgium rated one of the top teams in the world....hmmmm.

    Hardly set the pulse racing these groups. What is it, top 2 qualify?

    Top 3 now with the expanded format - they have a good chance of 3rd.

    Fair enough. Top 3? Why bother with qualifying, we'll just have a tournament packed full of dross.

    I'd still expect Israel to finish above Wales.

    Gibraltar and Spain shouldn't be separated.

    I agree. Its meant to be the best that qualify for the tournament, its just been opened up to get more revenue for UEFA.

    The Spanish would certainly agree with that.

    Gibraltar were actually drawn into Spain's group (C), but then were moved into the next one (D) with Germany! Stupid to separate them, what if (and its a massive if!) Gibraltar got through and faced Spain anyway.

    England should walk that group. You'll be going through the motions boys. Top two qualify this time so Woy could use half the games to blood some youngsters.

    Sweatys and Paddies drawn together. That should be a bit of a session :D

    The top two qualify and the team with the best third place record. All the others finishing third will play-off like they do in the World Cup qualifiers...

    Those were my exact thoughts, but that never seems be the England international way. It always ends up tighter than expected.
