Format

The European Qualifiers are made up of eight groups of six teams and one of five, who contest home and away fixtures. The nine section winners, the nine runners-up and the best third-placed side will qualify directly for the final tournament. The eight remaining third-placed countries will contest play-offs to determine the last four qualifiers for the 24-nation finals.

Great draw! Greece will visit 3 northern countries! The srongest opponent is Romania, but we have already beat them in the Play-offs for World Cup 2014 so..

When I look at the results of previous qualifications I think it's never a difficult way for the Netherlands. 

I don't want to stop your Euphoria but please don't forget the World Cup 2002!

Beh, when I saw my group I knew we wouldn't qualify  
No way will we beat Germany or Poland (excellent teams, of course..) .. but, eh, Gibraltar? I think Georgia and Scotland are good too. I'm very interested that Ireland's team will go to Georgia! I want to visit there sometime. If only we were drawn with Northern Ireland, you can literally drive from here to there! Or Wales, you can get a ferry there But interesting countries.

But, I'm quite happy with the group, and we have some easy matches awaiting
