That's a good draw, very good chance of making it to round 2.
Let's get there now.

Happy with that group. Some of the others were looking pretty brutal. In terms of getting out of the group, we couldn't have asked for much better, albeit not the sexiest of fixtures.
But let's get there first.

Always good to be in England's group because they always get lucky with second seeds If we make it, I'm more than happy with that. We could have been faced with Portugal, Uruguay and South Korea! Hahaha I like the thinking 😂 |

A dreadful World Cup gets even worse! I actually won’t be disappointed if we don’t get there seeing that draw. But if we do then we surely have a good chance of getting out of the group. Would have really liked Argentina or Brazil though 😢 |

Most important is the dates for play offs now. Lets hope we don’t get shafted with a September game.

(Should we qualify) Jordan James to score the winner to qualify us at England’s expence.
He then grabs a mic and belts out Yma o Hyd whilst doing the Fortnite L dance directly in the Queen and Charles’ direction.

England again ffs!! Welsh for a day crowd will be out in force come the WC! Endless replays of Sturridge’s goal for at least two weeks in advance. I hope Sturridge has got a royalty deal because he will be rolling in it if he has. “Let’s just take a look at the last time the two sides met in a tournament….” 😒 |

Shame about the fanfare if we or Scotland do make it. I can already see the tacky headlines if Ukraine qualify: “the group of allies!!11”, Johnson being straight in there to have photos taken with Zelensky and Biden. Just awful. |

Its great for our chances of progressing but such a dull draw in terms of mixing with the opposition fans. No South American or African teams, no Korea or Japan.
Boring.

No one from Wales who isn't retired, single and/or loaded will be able to go anyway unless they take a chance and book on the off chance we qualify. |

So we'll have -
"The play-off final to join England's World Cup group"
Then if we do win -
- Sturridge's goal shown a million times between June and November
- Reminders of how many times England have beaten us, how little we've beaten them in 100 odd meetings
- How many of our players were born and grew up in England

Pros:
- It's a very winnable group, or gives us the best chance of progression at least.
Cons:
- Nobody exotic, was hoping for Brazil/Argentina/Spain.
- England has their cup final early doors which they'll never shut the fuck up about.
