Savage Henry Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Happy enough with that group. I'd bet quite a lot of money that we'll drop points in one of the games against either Cyprus or Kazakhstan, but equally I feel that Russia could as well, and no reason why we can't win the H2H with them.That’s what it boils down to. The two games against Russia and away to Kazakhstan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor Sanchez Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Buzzing for this... Belgium should be easy/cheapest to get to. Cyprus always a blast. Kazakhstan could go either way, but it'll be memorable. Not sure how i feel about Russia away... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VictorOnopko Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 That's not a bad draw at all. Some easier groups, but some harder ones too. Obviously Belgium are likely to beat us (and all the other teams) home and away, but Russia aren't great, and their over-performing team at the World Cup this year was cobbled together with quite a few ageing stars, and spurred on by hosting a huge event, after a terrible run up. We are capable of beating them at home. They've had some poor performances both home and away in the last few campaigns too (e.g. drawing with Moldova at home)...

Menzel Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 24 minutes ago, welldaft said: Mind you there is every chance Russia could cock up in Kazakhstan unless of course Putin has threatened repercussions. Russia are so much better than Kazakhstan that there's zero chance that they would rig a match, particularly considering the goodwill received by the Russian FA after hosting the world cup. Also the relationship between Kazakhstan and Russia is particularly stable and that is not going to be jeopardised by threats being made about a football match.

Pie Of The Month Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 We find out fixtures later today. Russia away will definitely be June, September or October since they are one of the winter venues which will have no games in March or November.

skippy2015 Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Bulgaria and Serbia have a good chance to qualify which could mean we have to beat Finland and Israel to qualify..... a good contingency to have if we don’t make it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagfox Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Quote Belgium boss Roberto Martinez is "neither happy nor unhappy" with the draw. On Russia he says: "A team with a lot of confidence capable of beating top nations." On Scotland: "It's always a great game at international level."

Gianfranco Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 I think we’ve got a decent chance with that group. Cyprus and Kazakhstan away will be the big ones obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Not seeing where the confidence that we can beat Russia at Hampden comes from. Kazakhstan away is definitely the type of game we have messes up in the past. The excuses will be made beforehand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
