    Worst scenario: Belgium, Turkey, Montenegro, Lithuania, Kazakhstan.

    (A couple of those are bad for travel/logistical reasons, rather than footballing.)

    Doesn't matter who Scotland get.

    All they should be thinking about is trying to do well enough to get back into pot 3 next time.

    Ireland, Scotland and Northern Ireland are the toughest games we can get from their respective pots, because they all raise their game for the big match with Ingerlund.

    The same can't be said of our players, sadly, as they're all the sons of Ghanaian and Jamaican immigrants. Or Irish.

    Even with Ireland raising their game, Belgium are by far the toughest side possible for England to get in Pot 2.

    Agree with the others though.

    To be fair Brady, most of the Scotland side is English or Irish.

    Just like most of the France side are from French-speaking countries (ie. most of Africa).

    Not trying to be a typical England naysaying band wagoner, but our players are on a par with those in pot 3 and our results ain't much better. Pot 2 are miles ahead of us, how come we're top seed?

    Aye, forget the other players on the pitch... such as George Boyd, from that very Scottish place we call Chatham.
