We all know the stories about draws for soccer tournaments. Lets see if we can guess what FIFA are thinking.
Portugal & France will be drawn against either Bosnia-H or Slovenia.
The second one has two possible outcomes, any views?
Scenario 1:
Irish fans travel in large numbers which will help fill the anticpated empty stadia in South Africa, probably in greater numbers than the other teams in the draw. As a lot of Russian oligarchs fund football, then FIFA might like them to be in the World Cup. So draw will be:
Ireland v Greece & Russia v Ukraine.
Scenario 2:
FIFA doesnt fancy a Russia v Ukraine tie - wants to avoid the politics between the two. So draw will be:
Ireland v Russia & Greece v Ukraine.
