Should be a walk in the park for the pot 1s. At least it will be better than watching friendlies (just)

[jimmy ching]

It's just first place that qualifies with second places going in to those handy play offs.
Whoever gets Germany will be aiming for November 2017.

Remarkable that a country who have not qualified for a tournament for over 50 years are in the top pot... guess it's on pure rankings as opposed to, say, the last few tournaments.

If you want a great group as a travelling fan, this would be one:

(England/Wales), Iceland, Greece, Turkey, Finland, Andorra (likely to play in Barcelona)

Likes like New Zealand won't be going, they just did the intercontinental playoff draw and Oceania play South America.

Great to get England-Scotland as a competitive fixture again. The rest of that group won't help ITV's share price though...
