Somehow, it seemed feted. Wales reward for winning their Under 21 qualifying group against the likes of France and Romania was being entered in a draw to be in the final 8 next summer in Sweden.
They were supposedly seeded but the draw paired them with, of all nations, Ing-er-lund with the first leg at home - probably at Cardiff City's Ninian Park next month before a return in England 4 days later.
While England are likely to have the cream of their crop at their disposable, Wales are certain to be weakened with the likes of Joe Ledley, Wayne Hennessey, Gareth Bale and possibly Ched Evans, Sam Vokes and more with the seniors on World Cup duty against Lichtenstein and Germany at the same time.
However, even without them, Wales produced that outstanding 3-0 win in Romania this week and will definitely be up for it.
