Well we might just scrape through, and we've a chance of a revenge match with Croatia.

Stupid fucking live feed. No problems all the way through until it was England's turn to be drawn out.

[nikonman]

It had to be expected we would draw Croatia again

[Pervert]

It's not a bad group for England, so long as you get a manager in that will have them playing as a team.

We have two useful sides in with us, in a group with few minnows, which means we'll have to concentrate all the way if we hope to qualify. The trouble is, you just never know what you're going to get from Holland and Norway.

[Sam Slater]

Dunno how I feel about England's group. Two trips to Eastern Europe, and one in the Balklands are always hostile. Then we're playing bloody Kazakhstan who border China for God's sake! How they're in the European pot I'll never know.

[Pervert]

Gives the travelling fans a chance to brush up on their Borat impressions

[Sam Slater]

I can maybe see the Rooneys, Gerrards, and Terrys picking up little injuries just before that trip *cough**cough*

Not that I'm in any way cynical.

[Pervert]

Cynical, but almost certainly accurate.

Ukraine and Belarus away = potential bananaskins, methinks.
