If you're Welsh then sorry you are ****e sorry

I love the way you say that: "and eh... Israel!".

It's almost as though they haven't been better than Scotland for most of the last ten years!

don't understand why people under estimate israel so much. couldn't understand why everyone was so confident that russia would beat israel away either. they've improved vastly over the years, and got 23 points with you lot too. they came ahead of us in the last world cup qualifying campaign on goal difference was it? and only a couple of points off france and then a good side in switzerland.

Worst case scenario:

Holland (real football teams rape us)
England (last time out, 6-1)
Denmark (15-5-0 to the danes so far)
Wales (just because, and they might come good)
ICELAND
Faroe Islands (because losing to them would really hurt)

Best case scenario:

We win a game
No, seriously! Beating the northern irish twice counted for nothing, well other than them points costing them a place in the Euros

And losing to Lichtenstein...

Really surprised there aren't more of you begging to be drawn against our crap side Apart from a few youngsters (Teddy Bjarnason (Celtic, that kid at Hearts (Hearts) and Emil Hallfreðsson (Reggina) we have absolutely nothing to offer, at all! Eiður Gudjohnsen is such a bloody primadonna with the national side, spends the entire international breaks partying with celeb friends over here.

Iceland: The new "Guaranteed 6 Points" (tm)

Not knowing Eggert Jonsson

He's gonna be fb, supposedly scouts from Arsenal, Werder and Ajax been to look at him this season </BLOCKQUOTE>

It's not that I don't know him, it's that I have never seen him play and had no idea he was even at Hearts until I saw an icelandic surname in a match summary last year. So now I try to check the reports on bbc to see how he's doing.

Apparantly some of the big clubs in Europe are after Ragnar Sigurðsson as well, a young center-back who plays for.. erm.. some swedish team.

Then again, I don't care for icelandic football at all (the national league is awful) and I care even less for international football..

I would hate to have Northern Ireland in Scotland's group. That would be tough home and away.

Moaning about posting groups ?

People are just giving a few examples of groups they wouldnt mind or dont fancy. Passes the time until the draw. Where's the harm ? Obviously, they're not predicting them
