two and a half weeks to go now 'til our campaign starts with a traditional 'potential banana skin' in the armenian capital yerevan. things on the club front are mixed - given not getting his game, keane not starting the opening fixture. hard to know how mcgeady will do in moscow.
in terms of qualifying, there are 9 groups. group winners plus the best second placed team qualify automatically. the remaining second place teams will playoff against each other on a seeded basis, that seeding working off the uefa national team co-efficient.
