    ENGLAND'S POSSIBLE GROUP

    England

    One of France/Poland/Switzerland/Croatia

    One of Portugal/Turkey/Austria/Sweden/Czech Republic Winners of playoff Path C or D

    ( how can the current holders be 3rd seeds!!! )

    Potentially a group of 

    England 

    France

    Portugal 

    Scotland 


    Seeding is based on how you do in the Groups

    Portugal were the third best team to finish second in their Group which is why they're in pot three

    We could get an easy group as well.

    Easy/hard who cares. We are playing all three games at home, in what will be an incredible atmosphere. Our squad is strong and we are in a better position than what we were heading to the World Cup last year. Teams will wanna avoid playing us without a doubt.

    Available options with my preference in bold would be

    Teams in italics are those I think will win their respective Play-Offs

    France | Poland | Switzerland | Croatia
    Portugal | Turkey | Austria | Sweden | Czech Republic
    Wales | Finland | Iceland | Slovakia | Serbia | Kosovo

    That prospect of having France | Portugal | Wales would be scary but equally damned fun!!

    Just a shame that you can draw all three games and still qualify for the KO rounds now so teams will be more tempted to defend and get a point rather than attack because anything other than a win can see you exit the competition
  • so is it 6 groups of 4 and top two and 4 best third spots go through to make a 16 that then becomes a knockout stage ?

    am hoping we top the group as have taken a gamble and booked flights to dublin and rome and accomodation in both places

    finish 2nd its copenhagen and st petersberg which i havent booked anything for 

    this euros due to my caps am gauranteed a ticket at every game so will defo be doing all 3 group games and hopefully all the way through to the final. 


  • Could be interesting

    Isnt just in the Scottish press that I've read it but there are rumours that Russia could be banned for a lack consistency in their anti-doping data

    Of course they finished a place ahead of Scotland in their Group so could take their place automatically if thats the case

    UEFA won't have the bollocks for that.

    Yeah. Of the 24 teams going to Euro 2020 only 8 get eliminated after the group stage.

    We can’t draw England. We can only be in group A or group B. I prefer A.

    They looked rather fit and strong during their home World Cup run , funnily enough !! 
  • Yay another summer of sucking up to the Welsh from the media whilst moaning that the England should behave like their neighbours who are an amazing side

    When in truth they've made bloody hard work of a Group they should have faired a lot better in - Home Nations constantly moan that England qualify easily because we get easy Groups, am sorry but the Welsh Group wasnt much harder than some of those that we've breezed through in the past

    Huge congratulations to Tom and Jonny
    Yes but the population of Wales is about 3 million, so when you look at it like that they've not done badly. In comparison Finland with a population of 5m have just qualified for their first ever tournament.

    They have 2 top level players (Bale and Ramsey), another 2 who could reach the top (Wilson and James) and apart from that Wales are a pretty average side with half of their squad made up of players from the championship. Apart from Bale their attacking options play for Stoke, Leeds and Wigan!
    As for Giggs as a manager, he's like Coleman. With their 2 world class players in the side - Bale and Ramsey - they win. Without them they struggle

    Interestingly, Group B is pretty much already decided due to host nations, geopolitical reasons and deductions...

    Belgium, Russia, Denmark, Wales or Finland

    also bale with the silly flag

    those that haven't seen 

    wales, golf, madrid 

    in that order

    printed on a welsh flag 

    get its funny but they do pay all of your 500k a week wages. 

    Who have treated him like shit.

    Left him to train on his own
    Left him out of team bonding things
    Left him out of the 18 for no reason

    I personally love that Gareth has the balls to give it back after how they have treated him

    Group C Play-Offs are confirmed with the winners joining England in our Group

    Scotland v Israel
    Norway v Serbia (Winners will host the Final)

    Group A is

    Iceland v Bulgaria
    Romania v Hungary

    So thank fuck Bulgaria's chances of qualifying have turned very slim!!

    Group B Final will be in Belfast or Bosnia, will be a very watchable game if its Northern Ireland v Republic of Ireland
  • We could get an easy group as well. 
    You mean easy like

    England
    Algeria
    Slovenia
    Yanks

    Wont be surprised in the slightest if those two end up in a Group together
    Wouldnt be surprised either if Wales go into Belgium's Group - UEFA love pairing those two together

    Well since Belgium can only get Wales or Finland in their group I’d say it’s a 50/50 chance you’re spot on @ForeverAddickted

    Worked it out as there are 20 different permutations available with 4 teams from Pot B and 5 teams from Pot C possible in our group.

    Probably want one top side in there with us. If we can’t go through in this new format then it’s a spectacular failure.
