I can't believe England's luck, some how managed to avoid the big guns. They will still feck it up though.

In all seriousness England with the right manager at the helm should qualify from that group with relative ease.

We already know what the Croatians are capable of, but Ukraine and Belarus are potential countries that will prove a challenge particularly away from Wembley.

The best draw we could've hoped for.

As already said, with a manager with any sort of competence we should qualify with no problems.

............ but we all thought that the last time around.

Quite possibly the easiest draw to get under the circumstances.

If England still do not manage to qualify, then it'll be two major tournaments in a row...

i fancy wales to top the group and go on to dominate the finals and return triumphant to cardiff

while england missing out on another tournement

WORLD CUP 2010 on playstation not out yet !

Is the WC UEFA qualifying 1st and 2nd from each group plus a couple of playoff positions? How many places does UEFA get?

All teams who finish first automatically qualify, with the best 8 group runner ups going into playoffs.

So UEFA gets 13 places.
