[Marty]

Bein sports claims that the Anti-doping agency has banned Russia from participating in the 2022 FIFA world cup in Qatar

They have been banned, but last I heard of it was that Russia have appealed.

I'd go as far as saying they're lucky bastards not having to go to Qatar, but hey o.

Heads up, the qualifying draw is on

 

[Marty]

I feel like the same teams draw each other all the time. Spain v Sweden and France v Ukraine are fixtures that feel very familiar

 

[Marty]

Wales draw Belgium

 

[thecook]

Great, in a 6 team group. Another fucking 10 fixures on top of everything else

 

[Marty]

Poland for England. 1973 will be brought up again for sure.

 

[Marty]

I like the efficiency so far. No babble between pots, they did all the babble pre-draw and now it's straight on.

Ireland get Portugal and Serbia in a five team group

 

[Marty]

Italy and the Swiss for Northern Ireland

England v Poland is a common one through the years

 

[Marty]

Scotland get Denmark and Austria. The only group the Scots would have even a slither of a chance in.

Norway get Netherlands and Turkey which ain't great for us.

 

[Marty]

Hungary go in with England, Szoboslai aside they really aren't very good.

 

[Marty]

Scotland get Israel again!

Albania go in with England. Very Eastern European group so far, lots of travel

Kane should pick up a few goals against those teams.

It's a good draw for Scotland

 

[Marty]

Kane vs Lewa is a good duel. Rest should be a cakewalk
