ian1964 10,668 Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Qualifying explained Fifty-one countries participated in the draw, which was conducted by four famous names from Polish and Ukrainian football: Andriy Shevchenko, Andrzej Szarmach, Oleg Blokhin and Zbigniew Boniek. The groups will be contested in a league system on a home-and-away basis, with games scheduled between September 2010 and October 2011. The nine winners and the runner-up with the best record against the top five in their pool qualify directly for the final tournament, the last before the expansion to 24 teams. The eight remaining runners-up contest play-off matches in November 2011 to decide the final four names to join co-hosts Poland and Ukraine. http://www.uefa.com/uefaeuro2012/news/newsid=1445453.html#euro+qualifying+draw+full 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny 0 Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Not actually the hardest draw it seems on paper. If Levein turns out to be a decent manager the only 3 games we look unlikely to get anything from are both the Spain games and the Czech away match. We can take something from the rest. The Czech Republic are nowhere near the force they used to be, and I should know, given they're my second international team. The days of Poborsky, Koller and Nedved are gone and nowadays they're a fairly moderate national team. If Scotland utilise their resources properly, and get a bit of luck, we could possibly qualify. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewarty 1,943 Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 If Levein gets off to a good start, I agree we can be cautiously optimistic. Much will depend on getting the squad togetherness and team spirit akin Smith, McCoist and Burns' reign. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
metlika 0 Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Spain was the killer for me, I still think the Czech's will be tough. We play them in March lets see how that goes. Lithuania again is a little boring at least it isn't the Faroes who seem to be a lot better with that Brian Kerr as manager. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny 0 Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Spain was the killer for me,. I don't know if there are any top seeds we could get anything from tbh. Croatia are a maybe. Whoever the top seed was, we'd struggle to get a point from them. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoever the top seed was, we'd struggle to get a point from them. I've got my optimistic hat back on after the initial shock of seeing who we had. Regardless of who the big seed is, there's always a chance we can pull off a result akin to v France under Smith/ McLeish. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
