That sequence of games has slightly nervy 1-0 win against Serbia followed by drab 0-0 draw vs Denmark in the rain (a la USA and Scotland games in recent tourneys) that mildly panics England fans before order restored in a 2-0 vs Slovenia written all over it.

If Scotland go far (a monumentally large IF) the bagpipe could become the new Vuvuzela, a true global sensation.
Germany vs Scotland is a cracking opener. Gross v Gilmour.
Whilst they have home advantage granted, we are a much much stronger side than Germany at present. We are better and they are weaker than when we beat them 2-0 3 years ago.
12 teams for the final 3 spots. Wales to face Finland and then Poland or Estonia, should they beat the Finns.
Meanwhile on Path C, what a chance for some real minnows, a Kazakhstan or Luxembourg in Euro 2024 would be pretty great.
