    These seedings are all over the shop. Makes qualifying more exciting I suppose.

    Yes, the groups of 5 just get rid of the comedy microstates from the bottom.

    Poland are a top seeded team but England and France aren't? Makes sense.

    There was a pile of ties like that shown at the start that couldn’t happen.

    Can’t even get Gibraltar. Fuck sake.

    Spain
    Scotland
    Norway
    Georgia
    Cyprus

    Quite a fun group to be fair. Haven’t played Spain in ages and only Georgia we’ve played recently in a group. Should be able to win 4/5 at home and win the away games to the bottom two sides (I hope). Just depends on Haaland raping us and Spain if he fancies it

    Isn't it basically impossible not to quality or has our star turn in the nations league potentially blocked that off as an escape route?

    4/5? Are you planning to play yourselves at home?

    Wait, what, it's the Euros. There's no home and away right?

    I have just looked this up, and the genuine reason is that it's deemed too far for Kazakhstan to travel.

    Yep. Kazakhstan can only be drawn with one of Andorra, England, France, Gibraltar, Iceland, Malta, Northern Ireland, Portugal, Republic of Ireland, Scotland, Spain, Wales, and they already had Northern Ireland.

    Why on earth are they in the European qualifying realm anyway? Or are they basically too far from everywhere?

    Given that the top 2 go through to the finals, England should be fine.

    Does third get you a play-off against a [presumably] god-awful side as well? Ukraine are shit though so England should be coasting second as a minimum [they'll win it].

    A small part of it is geographically in Europe, allegedly.

    On the same idea, I've been wondering if Russia will end up defecting to Asian football. I can't see them being involved in UEFA stuff for the foreseeable.

    When you look at some of those other groups, how the hell have both the finalists of the last Euros ended up in the same one?

    It reads like Casillas being gay and Puyol having his supportive reply slightly mistranslated. Either way where is Baz?

    Don't worry, he's still got the warm-up to navigate yet.

    I didn't see any of the Rangers game, what is this line-up from Liverpool? 4-2-4?

    That’s a lovely goal from Palace. They need to just continue with this front 3 with Eze in the midfield. They’ll win more games than lose.

    Jordan Henderson going to have to cover for Thiago, Alexander Arnold and the front four. Poor bastard. Martinelli should have fun on the counter.

    If it plays the same as it did against Rangers, Trent didn't go too far forwards. However he's shit enough at defending that it shouldn't matter.

    Don'tbog yourself down with silly tactical formations and numbers, just enjoy the fucking vibes of starting all 4 attackers. Bobby should have started ahead of Diogo but fuck it, these fucking hyped up little pricks are in for a wake-up call.

    Lads, take it to the betting thread where you can each swivel on my girthy member in turns.

    I like how these pundits paint Darwin out as some hot-head. Geezer looks like the biggest melt going.

    Good to see VAR and the officials still cocking everything up. Funny how it's always the smaller club that seems to get fucked over - all 3 goals today for West Ham (the last 2 especially) should not have stood. Utterly infuriating and it could be so costly for Fulham when it gets down to the end of the season.

    The high risk/reward stuff would be great if we didn't chuck the opposition a goals head start in every single game.
