NOW THAT WE’VE all caught our breaths, attention turns to the play-off scenario that awaits the Republic of Ireland.
So, who can we face?
Well, we’re now confirmed as an unseeded team for the draw and we certainly know the teams the Irish won’t face.
Northern Ireland is one while it looks like – barring some miracles – Sweden and Greece will also be in the pot.
So, that means our possible opponents will be one of the seeded teams and, still with some business to be concluded in Group B, they are:
The play-off draw will take place on 17 October and the two-legged games will be played in mid-November.
What’s your preference?
