Ukraine at home in front of a full house is winnable. Maybe better than drawing North Macedonia and assuming it would be a formality.

Can't complain with this draw.
We've beaten Austria away so no fears if they win their game.
Wouldn't be a world cup without a playoff vs Wales away however.

Not a good draw for Italy/Portugal...and probably for FIFA who would probably prefer to have both these teams in the finals.

Somebody said FIFA would ensure that Ukraine and Russia could not meet in the final because of the tensions between the two. Perhaps this is the price to pay.
Both Italy and Portugal have only themselves to blame.
Not your average Sunday League player.

What happens if both Ukraine and Russia reach the world cup final? Bit of a long shot, but would one forfeit?
Equally, what happens if we fall out with Wales ;-)

The guy who was overseeing the draw explained that Ukraine and Russia could not be drawn together and how it would be avoided. He was quite open about it. I must say I don`t think teams should be allowed to enter a competition if they stipulate that they won`t play against a certain team or teams.

All four teams in our section will fancy their chances.
I would have said Ukraine would be slight favourites, but the fact they are facing two away matches might tell against them (hopefully!) Of course that assumes anyone is travelling anywhere in March .... :(

What do you mean if Wee Eck? They still haven’t forgiven us for that dodgy penalty at Anfield. 😂🤣

I'd agree with that if it was actually the case that Russia or Ukraine stipulated they wouldn't play against the other. That isn't the case though. It's FIFA own rules that won't allow them to play each other in the qualifiers/playoffs.
FIFA have a list of "prohibited team clashes" and there is currently 6 of them on the European list. FIFA won't allow these teams to play each other in European competitions.
**Or maybe it's UEFA who have the rule and not FIFA. Cannae remember. It's one of them though.
