    Fourth time out of five tournaments!!

    Never drawn Greece, I notice...?

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    In all fariness, though, most of the above are new. Greece have always been there. Wonder what the odds of never drawing a particaul counrry since qualifying began are?

    PS - you missed Ukraine...

    I notice we don't make it to Scandanivia often, and have not done so for ages.

    Norway - WC38, WC86
    Sweden - WC50, EC72
    Finland - WC50

    BTW. Denmark is not really Scandanivia

    The countries highlighted here for not being paired with us are ones we'd frequently be on a par with (seedings wise) hense it would be natural that we don't draw them often (or at all).

    Interesting enough Greece and Turkey were deliberately not to be drawn with each other for years and years. Now that stipulation has been dropped they seem to be paired all the time with each other.

    My dad says after 1995 they don't pair England and Ireland together. Highly doubtful me thinks.
