I can't wait for Northern Ireland to be in the same group as Portugal and Chris Baird will mark Ronaldo out the game.

In all seriousness there should be a strong presence of current and former west brom players.

North Ireland: McAuley, Brunt, Evans and Baird

Wales: Chester, Myhill

England: Berahino (hopefully)

Gera for Hungary if they qualify, Lukaku for Belgium. If Republic of Ireland qualify, there'll be McLean, McShane, Long and possibly Cox.

*Myhill retired from international football because of Hennessey

'The biggest invasion of France since D-Day' Pulis on Euro 2016

West Brom manager Tony Pulis has joked that the success of home nations qualifying for Euro 2016 will be “the biggest invasion of France since D-Day.”

England, Wales and Northern Ireland have already secured their places at the tournament in France next year, and Pulis says it’s a great achievement.

“It’ll be absolutely wonderful and the biggest invasion of France since blinking D-Day,” he joked.

have to say

sorry my boys(Republic) let us all down last night
but we gave it a right go

still we got the play-offs to come

not sure on this
but have both Northern Ireland And The Republic qualified for the same tournament at the same time

not sure it has ever happened

as for England tonight:

the press will be lauding it if they win,a perfect 10/10

but we all know what will happen next year dont we?
press will say they can go and win it
and yet again it will be piss poor performances and more than likely a group stage exit(2014 world cup anyone?)

at least with the Irish & Welsh
no pressure on them at all

they will go to France and simple enjoy it

Good line from Tony that tbf.

bbc website doing a most undercapped England players discussion, Laurie Cunningham and Tony Brown already mentioned by the pundits, good to see we're not the only ones who think it.

Also Thievy Bifouma is on the very longlist (37 players) for the African player of the year award.

easy really isn`t it?
stick England in a piss easy group
win game after game
the press then proclaims them good enough to win Euro 2016
and what happens?

they f**k it up in the group stages

sound familiar?

as i said previous
about time FIFA/UEFA or the hell is running football these days
scrap the seeding system

[St Charles Owl]

To be fair, all the groups should have been fairly easy for all the top teams with so many countries now taking part!! Germany probably got the toughest group and scraped through, but the Netherlands for instance had a group as easy as England's and don't look like making it!! Not sure how else you would pick the groups, after that it's the luck of the draw.

Not being ungracious, but I've played against better Sunday sides than Lithuania last night.
