  • The ten group winners qualify for the finals in Qatar from 21 November to 18 December 2022.
  • The ten group runners-up will go into the play-offs in March 2022, joined by the two best group winners of the 2020/21 UEFA Nations League that have neither qualified directly for the final tournament as European Qualifiers group winners, nor entered the play-offs already as European Qualifiers group runners-up. The 12 teams will be drawn into three play-off paths for one-off semi-finals and a final. The three path winners qualify for the World Cup.

Our group is so boring.

Really wanted us to draw a team we'd never played before. Gibraltar would have been especially nice.

We should qualify if we can beat Poland.
 
Good to see we draw Poland in a World Cup draw again. Is this like a fifa tradition.

But yes that is a very dull draw
 
How many times have Scotland played Israel in the last few years??

EDIT... 5 times in the last two years

Quite a packed schedule for the higher ranked teams with all qualifying matches taking place from March to November 2021 and then there is the rearranged Euro 2020 taking place in June/July 2021.
 
England face Poland again

England have faced Poland in qualifying for the 1974, 1990, 1994, 2006 and 2014 World Cups. The two sides also met in the finals in Mexico in 1986.

From the BBC
 
Will it come down to how many goals scored against the pub teams. Its time these pub teams pre-qualified. Makes a farce of the whole thing.
But then again the world cup in Qatar is a complete farce anyway
