Draw's done, Group F is the group of death, should be some great football there. Let me know if I made any errors.

Jesus group F is truly the group of death, will be fun to compare those three teams.
I'm glad my country in Sweden got only Spain as big team, they aren't really good these days specially under Luis Enrique.
I saw live the 1-1 in Stockholm where Spain was very lucky not to lose the game.

Hoping for good things from Switzerland and Holland next summer. Seems like yesterday we were just in France for Euro 2016!

Don't forget Portugal. I don't see how everyone keeps ignoring Portugal (here the press is trying to sell us as underdogs) when we have 2 of the best players in the worlds (Cristiano and Bernardo), one of the best youngsters (Félix) and we still have lots of nice players on the best leagues in the world (Patrício, Semedo, Cancelo, Guerreiro, William Carvalho...).

We should play a lot better but that's other topic. Also Germany has not been the same since the middle of the decade and France is very good but also not as good as their great teams from the end of the 90s and start of 00s.

How can you forget the best RWB in the world?

If Portuguese fans forget Ricardo, then why shouldn't everyone else forget Portugal? :wink:

I love your team but it seems people are overlooking Belgium. I think it could be their time.

Ricardo was in the group of good players in the best leagues in the world. I hope he goes. Him, Cancelo, Semedo and Raphael Guerreiro could be our line up for wing backs at the euros.

Belgium also has a great team. Like Portugal, just without Ronaldo but Lukaku is doing great and De Bruyne is better than Bernardo.

^^True. There are actually a few teams that I feel will be quite competitive next summer. Hopefully most teams can get to next summer without any major injury concerns.

doing the groups when you dont have all the qualified teams is the stupidest thing ever.

specially since it does not allow to make PROPER ballots counting the stranght of the qualified teams.
Wich ends up causing nosense groups of either bullcrap that should never go trough and will have TWO teams going trough and grups with THREE of the strongets teams .

disgusting.

all for the justification of the stupid league of nations b.s fifa came up with.

Agree. Should be able to beat both Finland and Russia. The results with Hareide have been great - but i don't like the football being played though. Luck put us through the qualifier. New coach after the EC. Think it's the right move, sooner or later luck will run out and better change before it does.

Go Denmark! If not us i'll like to see either Holland or England win it all.

You're talking about playoff teams not strong enough to qualify from their group. None of them should be good enopugh to make the quarters. You're complaining about nothing (again).

Do you have any info why Sisto fallen out of favor for national team? Loved that dude, his creativity alone was a big reason we thrashed Ireland in that famous 5-1 game.

Haven't played much for his club, Celta Vigo. And honestly didn't play that well for Denmark either. He have played some minutes lately for Celta though with their new manager. Wouldn't be surprised if he made the squad for the EC.
