A pessimist doesn't get disappointed.

I fucking knew we would get the worst possible outcome in this draw. I had zero expectations to get Bosnia, and I was right. Even if we by some miracle do make it to the Euros we will get some impossible group that will crush all hopes of wins well before the tournament starts.

How so? I would say both Wales and Poland are much easier opponents than Ukraine.

The teams in each path themselves were known for days now. This draw determined that Finland has to face Wales away in the first round, which is the worst possible scenario for them.

The same Ukraine knocked out of the play offs by Wales last year?

We had Bale. We no longer have Bale.

I'm pretty sure we couldn't have drawn Ukraine

Huh, my thoughts as a fellow Finn are that the draw was alright. Nothing to worry about really. We were always gonna get an away fixture first, but getting the home advantage for the final is massive. I'm happy we avoided Ukraine, Poland has been in poor form.

We need a top performance to beat Wales away, but it's not impossible at all. Hopefully we'll get Antman back by then, or play Keskinen/Liimatta to pose a counter attack threat. Kanerva, no Kamara in LW please lmao
