    Default Euro 2012 & 2016

    Couple of interesting points:

    Pot 1 Seeded: Ukraine, Poland, Spain and Holland
    Pot 2: England, Italy, Germany, France

    In Euro 2016 - 24 teams in finals - makes qualifying games a bit less important (even Scotland will probably get to France)

    Hope England get Spain in their group, I f*cking love it when England loses and the country is in uproar, when really they just haven't realised that we are a shit team.

    Just pure greed from Uefa, more teams means more TV money, ticket money, sponsorship etc

    Spot on, the qualifying campaign will be a farce and pointless.

    I did read that but hadn't seen it mentioned anywhere () so asked for clarification.

    Pot 3 is Denmark, Sweden, Greece and France.

    And there are a few decent teams that could get through the playoffs and into pot 4, like Portugal, Croatia, Rep. Ireland, Czech Republic and Turkey.

    There's a good chance we could end up in a pretty difficult group next summer.

    Gives nations like Scotland who always end up with the World champions in their group a chance. Or a meringue?
