Costanza Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Away is annoying if we get to the final but nothing to fear there. Would love to beat Wales in Cardiff in a tasty 'Battle of Britain' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are several other pairings that UEFA keep apart at both club and country level, including I think Gibraltar/Spain and Israel/Turkey. Israel/Turkey is fine. Gibraltar/Spain, Kosovo/Bosnia, Kosovo/Serbia, Armenia/Azerbaijan and Russia/Ukraine are UEFA's prohibited fixtures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamtartan74 Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 So when do the dates get confirmed then?

JackLadd Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Not a great draw for Scotland but home advantage will tip the balance hopefully. They definitely have a stronger middle and front with Benfica's Yaremchuk. No Italy again at a world cup would be crap and help England as no doubt Italy have their measure, only have themselves to blame for the draws allowing a lesser side take the auto spot.

rory78 Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Scotland might have a tough game v Ukraine but confident still but i believe we have far better players than Wales (Bales always injured and struggled for last while and Ramsey isn't as good as he was at Arsenal) - the day I worry about Wales for qualifying is the day I give up,if its not them it's Austria and we know we can beat them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
