Not bad at all, should get through no problem come on!

Easiest group in the draw. BUT, it depends on who the manager is! If the right guy is appointed then I believe the tournament is ours for the taking. However it is a long way off, a bit too far to predict.

 

[AndyRoo16]

yup should get through no probs...

just hope we have a good english manager....

Wouldnt call it wasy boys. Russia are a world cup regular (normally) Israel were top with one game to play of there group and were unlucky not to qualify and we all no that Croatia are going to be difficult. Granted not the hardest group, but no walk in the park either

I'm really happywith the draw for us. I feel the right man for us is going to have to be Alan Churbishly or Stuart Pearce

 

[Super_white_army]

Agree B_A, it is not an easy group, but I think that it is the easiest group in the draw. I think it hangs quite strongly on us having a naturally left sided player in midfield.


Does anyone think that A replacement has been found for when Neville retires in Arsenal's Gilbert?

Yer he well impressed me the other day. Did you see that cross to set upHenry? It was quality and thats the 1st time ive seen Henry score with his head and that was all because of Gilbert yer I think he could do a job!!

It's not an easy group... but its a group that i'd be very disappointed if we did not qualify from it with our quality.

 

[Super_white_army]

Infact, statistics show that our group is the hardest.

If you excluse the seeded team in all the groups and then work out the average of FIFA rankings for the remaining teams, Englands group has the highest average. (I will get hold of the figures later).

Saying this, what is hard on paper could be easy on grass.


Also, the enitire population of Andorra (70,000) could fit in the new Wembley and there would still be 20,000 spare seats.
