I'm more than happy, if we change our coach we have a big chance to get the 2nd place :)

Group D: Netherlands, Turkey, Hungary, Romania, Estonia, Andorra.

Here I'll quote Loczenty:

if it were SK it would be a killing zone

=)

lol :P

and I'm Victor Piturca, eh?:))

It seems quite a nice group for Belgium:

Group A: Croatia, Serbia, Belgium, Scotland, Macedonia, Wales

It will be a very close group I think.

Not a nice group at all Rubinho lol !!!

Croatia always seem to be a good team and very hard to beat

Serbia are over rated imo - Belgium are slightly better id guess

Scotland - where do i start ? we have some top class players , we just need to make sure that they gel as a team and get us some good results - we have players like Fletcher(Man Utd) , Adam(Liverpool) , McGregor(Rangers) ( THE best goalkeeper in Britain imo ) also in there Dorrans , Snodgrass , Bannan and a few others

Looks like a very interesting group to me :)

Group D: Netherlands, Turkey, Hungary, Romania, Estonia, Andorra.

This draw is fine by me :) Don't think the Netherlands have to be afraid of anyone. Didn't really matter who we draw.

Then why isn't it a nice group? I think we could have had way worse. Look at the group with Spain and France ... And I'm sorry, but I don't see Scotland going through. I think Croatia will take first place, Belgium and Serbia will have to fight for second, hopefully they have mad fans who will cost them points again :p And I'm happy we don't have those far games (Kazakhstan, Azerbaycan, Georgia, Armenia).

It's a hard group for everyone, except Netherlands. I think Hungary will finish 4th in this group.

You? :D :D ... Montenegro - Poland 3:0 :D :D :D

And I'm sorry, but I don't see Scotland going through

Thats the attitude we want you to have :) lol , please underestimate us like france did when we beat them twice ! , its not nice because IMO the top 4 teams all have a good chance to make it

I believe we will shock people mate , we have the players coming through :)

France, that's a while ago. Since end 2007, the results haven't been very good, have they?

(Not that I'm saying Belgium is having great results :p)

And I'm not saying Scotland has no chance, Croatia, Serbia, Belgium and Scotland all have a chance to go through. But Scotland going through is not very likely imo.

Group G: Greece, Slovakia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Lithuania, Latvia, Lichtenstein

Very happy

my opinion on european zone draw

group A: 1.place:Croatia 2.place:Serbia
group B: 1.place:Italy 2.place:Czech Republic
group C: 1.place:Germany 2.place:Republic of Ireland
group D: 1.place:Netherlands 2.place:Turkey
group E: 1.place:Slovenia 2.place:Norway
group F: 1.place:Russia 2.place:Portugal
group G 1.place:Bosnia-Herzegovina 2.place:greece
group:H 1:place:England 2.place:Ukraine
group:I 1.place:Spain 2.place:France

It's a hard group for everyone, except Netherlands. I think Hungary will finish 4th in this group.

I don't think it's going to be easy for the Netherlands, but as number 2 on the FIFA world ranking we should become number 1 in this group. But Hiddink knows how to beat us (see Netherlands-Russia 2008) so Turkey will be our biggest problem I think.

Well, looking at the FIFA/Coca-Cola World Ranking the best teams are drawn as first and second so they are the favorites.

Group A: Croatia, Serbia
Group B: Italy, Denmark
Group C: Germany, Sweden
Group D: Netherlands, Turkey
Group E: Norway, Slovenia
Group F: Portugal, Russia
Group G: Greece, Slovakia
Group H: England, Montenegro
Group I: Spain, France

But if you look at the previous ranking (Jun 2011), these countries went up a lot of places: Montenegro+8, Sweden+9, Denmark+7, Turkey+7, Bosnia-Herzegovina+6, Belarus+13 and Hungary+6. I think these countries can be the surprise of their group if they are not first or second draw in their group.

So looking at this, group D won't be that easy at all :P
