I predict a snooze...

Seriously, all of pot 1 and 2 along with 6 of pot 3 teams to qualify? Perhaps about half of pot 4 and Iceland from pot 5 will make for some excitement in their groups if they have a good qualifier? But no one will challenge pot 1 teams or the good pot 2 teams....
 
Blah blah blah

Why can't they just skip all this ******** and get on with the draw?
 
Serbia/Poland/Wales have a chance I'd say

they should randomise this, blind draw would be much more interesting, imagine if pot 1 was a group, final tournament would be more interesting as well
 
Couldn't have asked for an easier group so far.

San Marino
Lithuania
Estonia
 
Group A: Netherlands, Czech Republic, Turkey, Latvia, Iceland, Kazakhstan

Group B: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Belgium, Israel, Wales, Cyprus, Andorra

France already qualified as hosts. 1st and 2nd placed teams qualify. The best 3rd placed team also qualifies, while the other 3rd placed teams are paired up in playoff matches. I think.

France will play the teams in group I in friendlies during the qualifying phase.
 
It'll be a bit embarrassing if we drop a point in that group. Bit of a snore-fest. Can't see them filling Wembley for any of those games unless they slash the prices.
 
Complete yawn fest.

And with the increased number of countries qualifying, the group stages are unlikely to be any more entertaining.
