A group you would expect us to get out of considering the top 2 go straight through but I can't believe the FA agreed to play Russia away on a Wednesday night in October. That, along with the Croatia games could be the most crucial in the group. A tough finish. |

Would have been better if the fictures were set out for us to play Estonia and Russia away in the same week. Russia as the last away game, recipe for disaster.

Im fairly sure that they didnt agree to it. I think i read a while ago that all the FAs involved couldnt agree on a fixture list between them, so the fixtures were decided by an independent UEFA panel.
I think thats right anyway.

Each nation's FA had a second meeting to agree dates, UEFA didn't end up having to make the draw
