World Cup playoff draw

[Blackpooljack]

I think we'll beat Bosnia but even with a fully fit side I give us no more than a 10-15% chance of beating Italy, even taking into account it is in Cardiff. They are packed with Champions League players and if they don't qualify they'll go a minimum 16 years without appearing in a WC, that simply cannot happen. They'll be really fired up.

I hope I'm wrong, but I just don't see it happening for us unfortunately. Stinking draw, worst possible.

They've been beaten home and away by Norway who are only a one man team, have faith ANH

Of course Italy has lots of good players but the weight of expectation will bear massively on them and they’ve struggled away from home with very late wins in Israel and Macedonia. Hammered by Norway twice. Score first and they’ll themselves.

Assuming we beat Bosnia of course.

Italy won’t get past Northern Ireland

I just don't see it mate, but as I say I hope I'm completely wrong because I'd love us to have a crack at another WC. Especially if we can play like we did on Tuesday.
