If at all possible, I would like to request a proscription on Safiria being drawn with Jingdao.

Taking all the fun away, Carl!
If Jingdao wishes the same, then sure, but we can't do it just from one side; otherwise we'd have people just asking not to play against anyone decent

You're going to have to try and convince them yourself, since they refuse to talk to me about anything of substance.

We would love to play this game with the kind and friendly Safirians. Sports fraternize all!

The draw will be made live on Skype at 10pm (GMT). To be added to the room, add me (same username) and I'll put you in. There'll hopefully be a bit of preview stuff before, so try and get on for about 9:30.

I can't see Victoria on that list at all

Bjorn, just to clarify, even if Victoria's membership is accepted after we make the draw, you'll still be included in qualifying - we would add you to the final AEFA group

Kasëana: We're in the Group of Death
Senyan Manager Ëker Kasëana claimed after today's draw that Senya were in the "Group of Death", after being drawn in a group with some strong teams. "All the teams in the group are going to cause us problems. Lakkvia are basically Hurmu, and they won the Copa Apollonia last time out. They were the one team I really didn't want and so I'm disappointed that we drew them. Tiana are our rivals and they are a strong team. They've beaten us twice before in friendlies. Dura are also a very strong side, they have a reputation of getting points against big teams; just look what happend last year with their 4-3 win over Toketi! Then of course we have Beaulosagñe, who are completely unknown and are quite a distance away, so jet lag could be a problem. Same with Lucerne, although they do have a track record for being rubbish, even on home soil." Kasëana also stated that whoever was to win the group would have to "play like champions".
However, the manager's response wasn't negative. "Despite how good they are, we also know we are a strong team. We held a Mercury side that finished runners-up in the world cup 0-0, so we must be one of the favourites for this group. We just need to make sure that we concentrate and play our football. Then, we will qualify".
Senya's players were also excited, with midfielder Jan Maytek saying that he is "ready to stick his teeth into the Lakkvians" whilst Sesker Moskver stated that the draw gave Senya "a chance to get some revenge [against Tiana]".
Supporter groups anxiously await the fixture list, as the amount of big teams in the group, particualy rivals, will make for a good atmosphere. One Naldas spokesman said "We'll make the Lakkvians and the Tianans feel not welcome at all".
