Is it just me or do we potentially have to play a team from the 'group of death' after we go through?
ReplyDeleteThe main problem with are group is travel. Donesk will be a bitch as will belgrade
ReplyDeleteJosh, after the group stages it's a free for all draw, with the exception no team can draw a team from the same country.
ReplyDeletePleased with the group, as a previous commenter has stated the travelling is the problem. Still least we get to give Eduardo a proper send off.
Enjoy your blog, hope to see you over on my blog
