Uncle Albert Posted 24 February 2014 Posted 24 February 2014 We haven't lost to Switzerland since 1981, I don't expect us to start now. Very easy group and I will be bitterly disappointed if we don't take maximum points, and I am being deadly serious as well. They're poor teams in this group.

Which French city and hotel would you recommend for summer holidays during the European Championship 2016? I'd like to be as close to one of our venues as possible. Distance-wise, I prefer Saint-Etienne or Lyon. In terms of scenery, I can't wait to hang out in Nice. It's gorgeous down there.

Guest MattP Posted 24 February 2014 Posted 24 February 2014 So Switzerland are seeded top in the world and second in Europe
Guest MattP Posted 24 February 2014 Posted 24 February 2014 Should be good this, easy for us and tough for the Jocks. Jealous they get the away do to Gibraltar though. Be interesting to see how the Welsh fcuk this up.
Guest Bilo Posted 24 February 2014 Posted 24 February 2014 How funny would it be if Scotland fvcked it up against Gibraltar? Not all that infeasible either, their first game was a 0-0 draw with Slovakia...... By the way, they won't be playing in Gibraltar for this set of qualifiers because their stadium doesn't meet the requirements. They will, however, be playing in the Algarve. Lucky sods.

Of course, I was thinking South of Spain but they won't stand for that will they?
Narborough_fox Posted 24 February 2014 Posted 24 February 2014 Absolutely horrific draw for Scotland, the only positive I'm finding is that I'll be 18 by the time Scotland play Ireland away, and it's a Saturday kick-off in June.
Nalis Posted 24 February 2014 Posted 24 February 2014 Just booked Estonia We're booked in on the nordic hotel forum its called. Saturday night and Sunday night. Luthansa from Birmingham at 920am on 11th. 1735 from tallinn. Connections via Frankfurt. Costs us 280 all in with travel insurance Tallinn is some spot, you'll love it
The Year Of The Fox Posted 24 February 2014 Posted 24 February 2014 Tallinn is some spot, you'll love it Yeh a few of us went out there last time via Riga. I unfortunately never made Tallinn but the blokes who did said it was great and much more friendly than Latvia
Nalis Posted 24 February 2014 Posted 24 February 2014 Yeh a few of us went out there last time via Riga. I unfortunately never made Tallinn but the blokes who did said it was great and much more friendly than Latvia That is bang on the money. Riga is a lot of fun too but the people are total assholes!
One Legged Beaver Posted 25 February 2014 Posted 25 February 2014 This group should be a cakewalk for England and I would expect us (Switzerland) to qualify in second Slovenia being our only real competition for that spot.

The Year Of The Fox Posted 25 February 2014 Posted 25 February 2014 Ljubljana in June sounds nice. it does doesn't it. I'm gonna struggle getting a ticket for Estonia and I need one away game under my belt to be eligible for France. The only one I know I'd get a ticket for is Switzerland but I've already been there. Here's hoping for a few local away friendlies with big allocations

One Legged Beaver Posted 25 February 2014 Posted 25 February 2014 Time to update your avatar. I will do once he has fired us to World Cup supremacy in the Summer and the shirt has a nice gold star above the flag!
Dan Posted 25 February 2014 Posted 25 February 2014 So Switzerland are seeded top in the world and second in Europe It's ridiculous there's no investigation of whatever into it - not that there needs to be one, it's so blatantly rigged.
Nalis Posted 25 February 2014 Posted 25 February 2014 It's ridiculous there's no investigation of whatever into it - not that there needs to be one, it's so blatantly rigged. I couldn't agree more and have thought this for years. If it wasn't top 2 to qualify I guarantee that Switzerland would have got the Greece group...
MC Prussian Posted 25 February 2014 Posted 25 February 2014 It's ridiculous there's no investigation of whatever into it - not that there needs to be one, it's so blatantly rigged. I know how you feel. Winning's bad.
