Comfortable group for England you'd hope: Denmark the toughest but Serbia not mugs.

Our group games are in Gelsenkirchen, Frankfurt and Cologne. Cologne definitely the most worth a visit out of the 3, but slightly underwhelming choice of trips.

Spain, Croatia & Italy in the same group is the only interesting thing here

Group A: Germany, Scotland, Hungary, Switzerland

Group B: Spain, Croatia, Italy, Albania

Group C: Slovenia, Denmark, Serbia, England

Group D: Play-off winner A (Poland/Wales/Finland/Estonia), Netherlands, France, Austria

Group E: Belgium, Slovakia, Romania, play-off group B (Israel/Bosnia and Herzegovina/Ukraine/Iceland)

Group F: Turkey, play-off winner B (Georgia/Greece/Kazakstan/Luxembourg), Portugal, Czech Republic

Scotland to fail to qualify for the knockout rounds as usual...

England/France or England/Netherlands in the first knockout stage?

If we win our group, we face a 3rd place team. I think Jonathan Pearce said in commentary that the winner of group C won't face another group winner until the SF. So hopefully we can do our job and go deep again.

To be fair we were absolutely atrocious at that tournament and we still got out of the group, which suggests the headline was right.

Screw you! :wink:

To be fair, unless you've actually been to Frankfurt you would think it is underwhelming and whilst it isn't a tourist city it is grossly underrated as a place esp in the UK. Also, knowing where UEFA are planning to put the fan zones, will make for a fantastic atmosphere through-out the tournament.

WIth the draw, would say I'm most likely to see Portugal in the second round game I've got tickets for - as it is against a 3rd place finisher, impossible to guess who it will be against but likely one of Scotland/Croatia/Serbia.

I *think* I have managed to secure a ticket for the Poland end for Tuesday night assuming they beat Estonia this evening and Wales beat Finland in Cardiff.

So if we get out of the group we play the third-placed team from group D, E or F. There is a formula based on which combination of third-placed teams make it through to R16.

In the QFs we would play the runner-up from either group A or B - means we are likely to face Italy or Spain, assuming Hungary or Scotland or Switzerland don't produce an upset. Based on seedings, France or Belgium in the semi-finals.

Looking forward to the irony of getting Romania and losing to a George Puscas winner already.

A couple of France 'stats'. First - I was amazed to read that William Saliba is not a regular starter for the team. He is immense for Arsenal. Second - by the time of the Euros, Didier Deschamps will be approaching 12 years in charge of the French national side, which is inside the top 20 for longest spells managing a national team. His closest contemporary is of course Joachim Low, who got to 14 years with Germany.

Ticket was legit so was in amongst the travelling 1,800 or so Polish fans. Great atmosphere in what was a truly awful game. Poland fortunate to qualified having stunk out qualification.

Sat in the queue to see if I can't pick up any extra tickets. Ticket website is a mess.

Lucky enough to already have tickets to the Second Round game in Frankfurt but would be nice to get to at least 1 more as they are taking place where I live.
