We’ve had tougher
Phew.
That was a close one.
But despite fearing the worst we’ve been given a decent chance at making the next World Cup in Russia.
We’ve been pitted against Wales who are the top seeds, Austria who have decent young team coming up, Serbia as third seeds, then Moldova and the lowest seeds Georgia.
And to complete the group, from Pot 1 Wales, added to Austria, Serbia, Moldova and Georgia with Ireland in Group D #COYBIG
