Bosnia are a pretty nifty side but if Ireland can do a job on them, certainly winnable.

Could've been a worse draw for us, but I think if we can get even a draw away and have a go in the 2nd leg at home then we have a good chance.

Well we did it last night, the buzz around the place this morning is electric. Every tournament's entertainment value is enhanced when your own team are involved so really looking forward to France 2016 now even more. Well done to everyone involved in the Irish camp for making our dream of qualifying a reality especially considering the difficult group we had to contend with.  |

Best case scenario is: Austria, Hungary and Albania
Worst case scenario is: Italy, Poland and probably... Wales.
But tbh there's no scenario that England should fear too much. They have a squad which should be finishing top of their group regardless who they draw. But this is England we'll probably finish 2nd in whatever group we draw and get knocked out in the first knockout round.

Best case for us is probably: Germany (because they hate playing us), Switzerland and Slovakia.
Knowing our luck we'll get: Spain, Italy and Czech Republic... :lol:

Wales to beat England in Football also  Group E looks a bit tricky as does B but a lot of them look even, a lot of good teams then you get 1 top team in the group. Only group with 2 top teams is Group E with Italy and Belgium. |

Group E: Belgium, Republic of Ireland, Sweden, Italy I very much like that group. It was about time Belgium faced some good teams in an official competition. We'll see what they're really made of now. |

On the bright side for us, there shoud be no pressure of expectation on us in this group as we are going to be virtually the underdogs in every game now so we can go out and just have a go at everyone.

Ireland probably have the toughest but they all seem pretty even, England should really be topping that, Wales may prove tricky but the other two should be a cake walk really for us anyway.
Northern Ireland got it tough as well, Germany are quality and Poland are a decent side.
