Do you go for the easiest opponent or do you prefer the most beautiful posters?
Wesley Sonck, Imke Courtois and Karl Vannieuwkerke opt for a healthy mix.
From pot 2, Sonck goes for Albania, “even though I know that it is a reasonably good team”.
There is consensus about the weak brother of the group: that may be the winner of the play-offs between Georgia, Luxembourg, Greece and Kazakhstan.
Courtois’ preference for the opponent from pot 3 is, according to Sonck, a daring choice: “The Netherlands? That is daring.”
“You don’t always want to draw the 3 least good countries from each pot. You have to be tested in the group stage, although the Netherlands is not really the biggest test at the moment, I think,” Courtois concluded with a jab at the northern neighbors.
Host Karl Vannieuwkerke and Wesley Sonck could laugh about it.
“That statement could return like a boomerang,” Vannieuwkerke warned.
A laughing Sonck predicted the future: “This will be on the Sporza site tomorrow.”
With a day’s delay, of course
