  1. Argh, why do they have to do it so soon?!

    Ideally, they'd do it after Euro 2016 has concluded, but why can't they at least wait until the qualifiers are over?!

    I know CONCACAF start really early, but this shouldn't be allowed to impact UEFA. It would be much better if each region could hold it's own draw on their own time and terms.

    But that's FIFA for you.

    1. The draw gala would lose its glamour and FIFA need that glamour :)
