EURO 2016 Groups Stage Draws

Subbing Fischer














Morten Olsen go hang yourself

Why the *bleep* is it called Friends Arena lmao?

Morten Olsen is like one of those old ladies that has to burn their own house down before they go to a retirement home.

Ffs the last 10 mins felt like 45. Hope this is the last time Hamren plays that useless Larsson. We collapsed because he is so crap. Also rip to our chances of advancing without Ibra. The others cant play an accurate ball or old on to it for starters.

Motm is definitely Ibra followed Forsberg

Bendtner: I am 100% sure we will advance

Mate try and get your shots on target before you make those bold predictions

Just an Ukraine-Slovenia comment passing through.... Yarmolenko is legit imo

I lol'd at that shot he made.

Well it was a penalty, but he should've shot better.

Its not like he was pushed. There was a slight tug on the shirt which does not make you shoot like that lol. Even his free (sort of) header was way off target

Hungary is back at Euro after 44 years

ffs it's story today

i still can't believe it

After the play-offs tonight, the pots for the draw are now confirmed:

* France already drawn into Group A
Pot 1: Spain, Germany, England, Portugal, Belgium
Pot 2: Italy, Russia, Switzerland, Austria, Croatia, Ukraine
Pot 3: Czech Republic, Sweden, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Hungary
Pot 4: Turkey, Republic of Ireland, Iceland, Wales, Albania, Northern Ireland

In what order would people rank the teams in their pots?

Btw, pot 4 looks stronger to me than pot 3, lulz.

England POT 1

Not surprising considering how we smashed the qualifying rounds. Don't think any pot 2 teams can claim to be in pot 1 at our expense

Mocking England for being in pot 1, but no mention of Belgium?

Seems legit

England got last place in a group with Costa Rica, Uruguay and Italy
Belgium played a  WC very good , quarter finals got knocked out from Argentina ..
it is for qualification ? so Iceland shouldn't be 4th .
nothing against England but if they are in POT1 ,it means the system for POTs is mistaken  . As it often happens. Considering also the difference of group stages ( the most difficult team for England was Switzerland ? Not surprised they smashed San Marino,Lituania and Estonia lol ) it should count the last Euros for example

They're determined by co-efficient scores until the end of the qualifying group phase.

England obtained the maximum number of points by winning all their games and were already in a decent position despite a poor World Cup.

Iceland, by contrast, despite having a great qualification period, were coming from a lower position. Hence they're in Pot 4.

Looking at the teams in Pot 2, I don't see which one should be Pot 1 instead of England. Italy had just as poor a World Cup and didn't win all 10 of their qualifying games for the Euros, so it stands to reason they would have less points.

It doesn't really matter, anyway, as the best teams will ultimate qualify regardless of what group they have.

England has no business being there.  But of course, being in a group with Switzerland, Estonia, Slovenia, Lithuania and San Marino and beating those cupcakes goes a long way to scoring a lot of UEFA points.

It's a joke... but that's how it goes. Italy was the better team in the WC over England, although both got knocked out, and they went to the last Euro final. It shouldn't even have been a discussion lol.

Imo any of England, Italy, Portugal and Belgium could be the pot 2 team. Yes, England failed at the WC, but had the best qualification campaign out of them all.

Anyway, looking at the pots, we're going to have some evenly matched and interesting groups for sure. I feel the EURO fever rising!
