Marten Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 The play-off draw has just been made. Finland were drawn out to go to path A. The play-offs are now: Path A: Poland v Estonia Wales v Finland (winner at home in the final) Path B: Israel v Iceland Bosnia and Herzegovina v Ukraine (winner at home in the final) Path C Georgia v Luxembourg (winner at home in the final) Greece v Kazakhstan 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottMc77 Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 That's as good a draw as Wales could have hoped for. They must be favourites to get to the Euros now. And a decent chance for Georgia too! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VictorOnopko Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 I'm shocked - SHOCKED - to learn that Wales got a spawny draw including two home ties. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheScarf Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 Wales facing Pukki then potentially Lewandowski and you can pretty much guarantee they'll will qualify without conceding a goal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BucksburnDandy Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 There's literally no more spawny a team in Europe than West England. They seem to have inherited the luck that Martin O'Neill's South Ireland had. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, it’ll be Celtic-era Teemu Pukki that turns up in Cardiff, unfortunately. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

accies1874 Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 The Wales stuff in this neck of the woods is quite strange. Obviously I don't like them as they're one of our closest rivals, but all the "jammy b*****ds" chat is similar to the stuff last year when folk were trying to convince themselves that the Republic of Ireland were some dirty, hammer-throwing mob when in reality they were on an even keel with us across the two games. It's like people are trying to convince themselves of reasons to dislike a team rather than just simply disliking them. I suppose Wales got lucky in that they had one of the best British players in a generation (that's no luckier than Norway or Slovenia who have been horseshit despite having their own world class player), but they've also done a lot of work over the years to build squads that perform beyond what you might think they're capable of on paper. There's not been much variance from Coleman to Giggs to Page, so unless there have been eight years of luck as opposed to that just being nature of international football, my take is that you're all just talking shite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

velo army Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 Perhaps mistaking Slovenia for Slovakia (or autocorrect) and Hamsik. I'm in agreement with the Wales and Ireland stuff tbh. I've always felt that it was an entirely understandable jealous projection given how successful they both were relative to us. It does seem a bit tinpot, but I don't see playing Poland as lucky. Wales looked very decent against Turkey and would have won but for a terrible penalty decision against them. Anyway, 'mon the home diddy nations. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oneteaminglasgow Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 (edited) I think it’s more that Wales reached the semi finals of a Euros, and qualified for multiple other tournaments and I think I’ve seen them play well about once in all that time. I honestly hope all the other ‘home nations’ lose every game they ever play, unless it’s against England. If Islamic State get a team together and play Wales, I’m cheering for the boys from the Levant. Edit: with Ireland, it’s largely because they have been utter hammerthrowers for fucking ages, and because of the aftermath of Thierry Henry’s totally legitimate assist against them.
