So, a nice easy draw for the Heathens, getting themselves into the only group with five teams in it.
How it will work, is that after all the groups are finished, the results against the bottom teams in the other eight groups will be discounted and the best eight runners-up will play off to find out who qualifies - group winners qualify by right.
England draw Croatia, again.

England are going to see a bit of Eastern Europe eh  And the fans can have a bit of " sexy times " with all the prostitutes in Kazakhstan ;D Not too bad for us . Holland will be tough though . How about it Ssamyarse - do you fancy a wee trip to Amsterdam and a pub crawl with the tartan army down the red light area . |

Prostitutes in Kazakhstan for England and the Red Light District of Amsterdam for the Heathens - still, good for Rangers supporters to be playing against their orange be-decked brethren from the Netherlands. A trip to the native heath of King Billy.
Northern Ireland also get a tour of the "New Europe".

And a bit of a home-coming for me , having lived in the outskirts of Amsterdam for a year and a half when i worked for Fokker at Schipol Airport . ;D |
