"There is no easy opponent"...or "Tasty!". That was my reaction to the playoff draws for the final European spots at the World Cup.
Italy-Sweden
Denmark-Republic of Ireland
Switzerland-Northern Ireland
Croatia-Greece
Ask me to pick the favourites? No don't. The obvious would be Italy, Denmark, Switzerland and Croatia but I can give you a good argument for each of the other 4.
In other playoff news, the coach of Honduras said the schedule for the matches between his team and Australia was "inhumane". They play home and away with 5 days in between the matches. he complained that they will take about 24 hours to get to Australia. But, credit to him, he did point out that it's worse for their opponents. The first match is in Honduras. So the Australians have to get to make the long trip to Honduras, play the first leg and then make the long trip back before the second leg. Body clocks are going to be all over the place. Oh, the fun of Intercontinental playoffs.
