[Itchy]

Looking at the teams in the hat I think Switzerland would be my hope.

Denmark are the weakest by a good bit. Anyone but Italy we have half a chance against.

[general_lee]

Denmark, Switzerland, Italy, Croatia. In that order.

Agree .  That said the Danes are a bit more physical than the Swiss .

I would imagine the notional Dane would want

NI , ROI   , Greece , Sweden .

It's going to be Italy so they can wax us after we went mental after beating their B team in the Euros.

Denmark, Switzerland, Italy, Croatia. In that order.

I agree with this. I think our chances against Italy or Croatia would be minimal, but somehow I'd rather Italy to the Croats.

Croatia finished 2nd in a group won by Iceland..

Right so, the Republic will get Denmark, the north will get Italy, you heard it here first.

[clarshack]

anyone who wants Italy is crazy. with the dutch not qualifying for the World Cup, FIFA will not want another big european football nation to not qualify. should the Italians need any help in getting through the playoffs - they'll get it.

[Denn Forever]

How?  Fifa is not corrupt.

[Itchy]

Physically the Danes will match us and our 1 dimensional play wont work against them. The Swiss were 2nd in a brutal group, they will be flaky too. Ideal for us. Italy are a knock out team, getting them would be a disaster and Croatia have a lot of top quality players.

Swiss, Danes, Croatia, Italy in that order for me.

Denmark and away first, what a great draw.

Martin O Neill is a lucky general TBH .
