     "Wales have been improving - they should be delighted with what they've got. Derby games have a habit of throwing up a strange one. Moldova and Georgia should be beaten. Serbia might the the most dangerous one in that group. If Wales play to their best, they have a chance of winning that group."

    In case anyone wonder where Gibraltar are in all of this, they're only members of Uefa - not Fifa - so aren't eligible for the World Cup.

    Other match-ups that catch the eye outside of the home nations are Netherlands v France and Spain v Italy. Two of those teams will be in the play-offs (at best)

    Oliver Bierhoff says he was happy Germany avoided Italy.

    Aleksandr Kerzhakov says there are no favourites and he's happy Russia don't need to qualify.

    So England and Scotland in one group together. And Wales play Republic of Ireland in another. Northern Ireland have Germany and Czech Republic.

    Thoughts?
