    Cunch time later this afternoon!

    Whoever we get it's going to be a tough group but the carrot is there for the last 16 and we have a good chance of that at least.

    From the linked article...

    Each pot has six teams, though only five will be drawn from Pot 1 as hosts France have already been placed into Group A.

    The top seeds, including England, are in Pot 1, while the lowest-rated teams based on Uefa's criteria are in Pot 4 - this includes Wales, Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland.

    One team is drawn from each pot to make up a group of four, so by the end of the draw there will be six groups of four teams.

    How do you qualify from a group?

    Good news - more teams progress from the group stages than go out.

    As the tournament has expanded to 24 countries for the first time, there is now the need for a last-16 stage.

    Finishing first or second in a group guarantees progress, but there will also be room for the four sides who finish third with the best points tallies.

    That means only eight out of 24 teams will be eliminated at the group stage.

    What's your best draw?

    From pot1 I'd like England or Portugal. The pressure will be on England if they draw any of their local rivals. Not too bothered about the other pots.

    Would be ecstatic if we get through to the last 16 and then who knows!

    <laugh> stop being realistic! A crack at the knockout stages would really be exciting though.

    I think Wales should set the bar higher than just making it , opportunity is knocking imo after a long wait .

    The pressure's on England, not us. Plus they're pants at tournaments ;)
