Now the pots have been announced, my ideal draw for England.

1. Spain: we know how to play them, or Holland for a re-run of 4-1 in 96
2. England
3 Portugal: to renew our history of battles with them from 1966 to 2006
4. Republic of Ireland: the battle of Britain. If we avoid the Scand sides we might as well play one British-style match.

I just hope we we avoid the boring sides: Denmark, Sweden, Poland, Ukraine etc, which brings out the worst in our team
 
You obviously don't want to get to the knock-out stages, Hblue, because you haven't a chance of getting out of a group like that.
Remember the last time you were in a Euro group with ROI?

You also seem to have an unhealthy fixation on battles; lighten up, it's football remember
<ok>

Yes. Both teams failed to qualify from the group stage. Could be the same this year, but you want to play the best not Estonia etc...

And a battle of Britain match v Ireland would be low on quality but hopefully high on drama.

Let's hope Ireland can finally get past the group stage for the first time, and not become the Scotland of the European Champs

About 80-1 against I'd say. If he's from Hammersmith and Scottish, he'd most likely be an alcoholic and homeless and wouldn't have internet access.

I'm Scottish, and think your 'dream' group would be -

Poland - decent side, but lack genuine quality cos Germany have nicked them all
England
Greece - Difficult to break down, but again lack quality going forward
Czech Republic - We could and should have beat these twice and we're ****e. Baros is still their best player FFS.

The nightmare scenario being -

Spain - Nuff said, Saturday's lucky result not a true reflection of their ability
England
Portugal - Such immense individual talent, they can beat ANYONE if they defend well
France - Similar to Portugal, on their day they have 4-5 match winners

I think a lot of nations in the other 3 pots would actually quite like to draw England as I suspect they will think you are a lot more beatable than Italy and Germany.

But I've got a feeling you'll get Holland for some reason, it's a bit of a Euro tradition. Likewise Ireland, but I've a feeling they will get a good draw - Ukraine, Russia and Sweden maybe.

Holland, England, Greece, Denmark

I might stick a fiver on it...

Did I just type all that bollocks? **** me, I'm bored today.
 
Get to fuc. Hammersmithblue the Republic of Ireland is not British and although we have little doubt hat we would beat you, we respect all our fans.
We respect the men women and children that follow us wherever we go they behave impeccably, not like the hoodlums that follow your team that
contains possible racists, cheaters, prostitute users even granny prostitutes.
Why the hell would we want to play and mingle with your lot.

Because you are jealous of England; and live and breathe the Premiership... the greatest league on earth
 
Dream Draw:

Holland (Spain as was evidenced at Wembley, just plant the bus in your half and hold out, whereas the Dutch have players which will dance around your defenders rather than play a passing posession game, notably Robben, Sneijder, Van Persie...plus Van de Vaart, De Wiel, Huntelaar, De Jong)

England (Nothing to lose, Expectation will be ZERO, everything to GAIN, if this group emerges as true, plus 3 quality matches that I will remember, not unlike USA or Algeria or whatever other randoms turn up and make us play awfully)

Portugal (Ronaldo, Nani, Meireles, etc: skillful players)

France (Ribery, Evra, Benzema, etc: nothing pleases english more than beating the french, nothing hurts more than losing to them, good inspiration not to get beaten therefore)

---

England wouldnt be expected to progress, so anything beyond that would be a huge bonus, plus the manager could hardly be blamed if we didn't suceed!
 
Hammersmithblue.
How the fuc. could I be jealous of England or any team from it.
English born footballers and Managers are very hard to find in the Premiership.
The Premiership is awash with illegal money, stolen like one yeam that often plays in blue and in London.
Laundered money, as with team/s further North.
You must be proud of yourselves 50m plus people and relying on outside money to fund and foreign players to
occupy most of your team positions.

Grandparent rule in football tosspot, that's a blood relation, them cricketer's from South Africa have no eng blood at all and you even tried it in rugby and still got laughed at in the world cup. A population of roughly 60 mil and you gloat about being better than nation's that don't even have the population of greater London.
