    Hopefully Shane will have sobered up by Saturday!

    But hopefully Walters won't have...

    Excellent! Another team to cheer for next summer. Excuse my ignorance but how many groups and how many teams in each group will there be?

    Thanks Tom, that's what I assumed. Hopefully the 3 home nations won't be in the same group...

    Impossible. Wales and Northern Ireland will be in the bottom pot as they haven't qualified for a major tournament for a long time. Not sure about Ireland.

    Oops, I can't count. Of course, there are 4 home nations - I'm just so used to not counting Wales!

    Scotland didn't qualify. Must be used to being behind England, but must be a blow when NI and Wales have qualified.

    I wonder if that's purely off the back of the fact that the man that planned the Paris attacks was from Belgium or if they've got wind of planned attacks.

    Great, thanks for that, WS. Wouldn't it be great if all 4 home nations (and I count RoI as a home nation :)) could get out of the pool stage. England v Wales could be interesting...

    Also worth noting that top two from the six groups qualify and the four best third place teams. In other words, failing to get out of the group stages would be one of the biggest screw ups in English football history :emoticon-0107-sweat

    Would it be best if the English supporters hum it? Many still haven't yet mastered English, so would hate to hear them mash this up.
