    Good point. I've heard the van Gough museum and the Anne Franke house are both excellent.:86:

    At least we don't play with England again:)))))))))))))))))))))
    I think Scotland and Ireland have great chances to be in first two in their groups;)

    Decent draw for Ireland. Would love to kick the * out of Italy. Ireland should go through, but no more 5-2 losses against Cyprus. :shamrock:

    Not the worst draw we couldve got with Germany, Russia, Finland, Azerbaijan & Liechenstein in our group.. Hopefully be a battle between us and Russia for 2nd spot.

    correct me if i'm wrong:
    9 groups - 1st places go straight to the world cup, 8 best second teams play for the 4 places left...and the worst second team is *???!!!
    nice one!
    speaking of which, i have a little clip from Durban for you:

    Not bad draw for Serbia ... France, Romania, Austria, Lithuania and Faroe Islands. I think we can do it.

    And about Macedonia, night life is good, but pitches are awful. Ask Croats about them ... :)

    Group 9 Betting from Corals

    Holland 1/2
    Scotland 3/1
    Norway 4/1
    Macedonia 40/1
    Iceland 50/1

    3/1 Scotland is a fair price, but 1/2 Holland is awful and I'd have thought the book would have been closer to Evens Holland 7/4 Scotland 4/1 Norway and 33 bar. I'd like to see the way the fixtures come out first before committing though.

    That said, Corals have Andorra only 1,000/1 to WIN their group with England Croatia and Ukraine in it - on this occasion 1,000/1 is probably a bit skinny

    I agree Keltoi I think Ireland and Scotland have both got to be pretty happy with our draws. obviously both Holland and Italy will be favorites to win each group. But I think we are both in with a good shot. Hopefully england will fail again.

    The results against the last place team in all the other groups don't count interms of figuring out which is the worst 2nd place team. But in Scotlands group all the results count as there is only the 5 teams.

    They couldnt have just made it more simple by adding 1 more team? Even give Jersey or the Isle of Man there own team lol.

    Hi there from Macedonia...
    Regarding the nightlife here question, its good and for Scottish folks it'd surely be quite cheap, unless they overpay you (what happens to many foreign fans)

    Also, we'll beat you in Skopje :)
