Tougher qualification group?

Which of these groups is tougher to WIN?
England
Ukraine
Poland
Montenegro
Moldova
San Marino
USA
Costa Rica
Honduras
Mexico
Panama
Jamaica
In other words, would we have qualified in England's position? Keep in mind that we would need to win that group, not just finish top 3.

Well considering only one team from the first group is in the WC, I am going to say that ours was more difficult.
Ukraine would have been the only team to cause us any trouble in that group.

top two
first gets auto big second goes into playoff which would have been vs france so no we would most likely not have made it out.

For what it's worth, England won the group with 22 points, and Ukraine was right behind them.
I think we would have won that group.

some negative nancies in this group. if we replace england in that group, id give us like a 50% chance to win it. i dont see why one wouldnt think that? ukraine and poland are the only other teams with chances to win it and they are both solid teams, but why is it wrong to think we are better?

We could split with these teams. I doubt we would actually lose to Poland.
Poland isn't exactly a powerhouse, even with Lewandowski. In fact, they're quite shite. I watched Ukraine play them, and Poland couldn't string
Ukraine is a good bad team, if that makes sense. Yarmolenko and Konaplyanka are scary wingers, but they have a mediocre midfield, center forward and an above average defense. They play well at home, but are mediocre away. It would also depend on where we played them. In Lviv, Ukraine would have tremendous support. In Kyiv, it would be mediocre, because fans don't turn up unless it's a European power. They won't be playing games in Kharkiv and Donetsk for awhile, for some strange reason.
Montenegro has a few quality international players, but so does Honduras or Costa Rica, if we are to compare.
We could win the group.
