Kind of shitty that Spain and Italy are in the same group (especially since Israel got tossed in there too, so one of them will have to settle for 2nd spot) while we get shitty groups where Wales and Austria are the best sides.

Groups D,H and E looks interesting.

If they had have made it that the 6 teams which have television rights not be drawn together it would have been much more evenly and fairly spread. Rather than having two pot combos of France & Netherlands and Italy & Spain as foregone conclusions; both France and Italy in Pot 2 would have had to have been drawn with Wales and Romania as the only other Pot1 seeds in a 6-team group.

So out of those 52 teams it gets trimmed down to...? 18? 20?

 

[RobbieD_PL]

9 direct qualifiers and 4 playoff ties for the last 4 UEFA spots among the best 8 2nd placers.

England vs Scotland - ooh that will be an eventful group! You really have to be from Britain to truly understand the hatred, rivalry and history between us two! 

 

[Mandieta6]

Yeah, the rest of the world doesn't really care because it's a meh matchup.
