ThornTON Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Where are France in that list? They have to play in the qualifying although they will still be in it as hosts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I can make out, they will play in the group of 5. But their games will only be friendlies. <span style='font-size: 14px;'><em class='bbc'>"That LinwoodTon's a c*nt, eh?"</em></span> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EanieMeany Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Bosnia, Czech Republic, Austria, Cyprus, San Marino would do pretty nicely. AWMSC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie Aitken's Love Child Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Getting in the same group as Austria would be good on a personal level, but I rate them as one of the up-and-coming nations in Europe, so I'm not so sure that playing them would be for the best. Greece, Hungary, Israel, Cyprus and Gibraltar would be ideal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThornTON Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Greece, Hungary, Israel, Cyprus and Gibraltar would be ideal. I went for Greece, Ireland, Slovakia, Moldova and Gibraltar. Don't know anything about Hungary, or how they got into such a high pot! ETA They have a lot of players with decent international goal tallies, something which we don't have.

Rasta Ton Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 From what I can make out, they will play in the group of 5. But their games will only be friendlies. Correct. It is also impossible for Spain to draw Gibraltar due to political reasons - I thought Uefa / FIFA always took a dim view on politics interfering in football.

The Tartan Army would love it, and they would love the Tartan Army. It is indeed a fine city. I spent a month working there in 2000 and had a great time.

Cet Homme Charmant Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 I wouldn't wish The Tartan Army on anyone. What a cliché. I hate the term 'Tartan Army', but I know for a fact that many Belgian football fans have a respect for Scotland fans following our visits here in 2002 and 2012, and they would be warmly welcomed again any time.

As Francis Boyle said, the biggest con trick The Tartan Army ever pulled was to convince themselves that they're not all c*nts. MARTY OUT!!!!!

michigan_ton Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Spain, Belgium, Romania, Scotland, Iceland, Luxembourg That's our luck, right there.

dunning1874 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Correct. It is also impossible for Spain to draw Gibraltar due to political reasons - I thought Uefa / FIFA always took a dim view on politics interfering in football. They've kept other countries apart before: Azerbaijan and Armenia are kept separate, Croatia and Serbia were at first after Croatian independence.
