Group A is undoubtedly the tightest and most interesting, even Wales have a chance of 2nd place if the current youngsters make the final step up.
Not a bad draw for England but could've been far better, Montenegro, Ukraine and Poland will all put up a fight.
From a Norwegian point of view it's a good group. Slovenia are the weakest second seed, but Switzerland probably the toughest third seed. Rather annoyingly this will the the third qualifier in a row where we have to play Iceland, and in the current qualifiers we're also playing Cyprus. Gets a bit boring when you keep drawing the same sides.
Group G is slightly weaker than E in my opinion.
And Spain v France will hopefully be epic. Don't envy the three others in that group, in most other groups they might've had a small chance...

Fifa are not interested in 'fair play'....we know that....but this Draw has emphasised this (in spades). What hope is there for football when Blatter is 'at the head' of the crime gang? England, despite all their protestations, will never 'rock the boat' or they may 'end up swimming', again?
In terms of the Rep of Ireland Group....Germany have never really caused them too many problems, over he years, so, I see no reason to fear them. Sweden are 'good' but liable to 'implode' from time to time (just as Ireland do)? It seems that Spain will 'walk away' with the Trophy, again.....as things stand? Good enough....football wins again (despite Blatter Corruption!)
