Kid in the Riot Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 My prefered group: Seedings for Euro 2012 Pot 1: Spain, Netherlands, Poland*, Ukraine* Pot 2: Germany, Italy, England, Russia Pot 3: Croatia, Greece, Portugal, Sweden Pot 4: Denmark, France, Czech Republic, Republic of Ireland Just hope we are based in Poland as Ukraine will be a **** to get to...that said good old Ryanair have already doubled the price of their flights to Poland and most other airlines seem to have followed suit.

Tom Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 I have a horrible feeling that we will get this group : Spain, ENGLAND, France, Croatia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrs Court Red Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 Would take that. In fairness there's no easy games in the Euros, so no group will be an easy one I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 Would take that. In fairness there's no easy games in the Euros, so no group will be an easy one I guess. Would much prefer Ukraine, Greece, ENGLAND, Republic of Ireland. But we'd likely get complacent without an early challenge (Not denigrating those teams) and lose all credibility quicker than Jason Lintern in Burton.

Coxy27 Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 I'd love us to be in the group Spain, England, Portugal, France. That would be awesome, if we're good enough, we'd have to prove it, afterall, what's the point in getting to the knock-out stages through an easy group if you're not good enough to win?

CiderHider Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 I want Portugal we have unfinished business there. Would be nice to play them when we have already qualified so we can just use the game as an excuse to beat Cronaldo to a bloody pulp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riaz Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 Hard a group as possible please... This will help keep expectations low, which will take the pressure off - instead of having a expectation that we'll win the bloody thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRL Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 To be fair any group will be hard, and there is a very high possibilty we won't make the 2nd round, hell there is a high possibilituy we may not even win a game! Nice to se Cappello end on a high and do th eunthinkable, although Brooking is intimating if we do okay he may stay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRL Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 He won't stay cos he does not want too! He should be retiring and putting his feet up, become a part time scout and enjoy life. But maybe i think like that cos I'm a slacker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chipdawg Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 I think it'd suit England to have a difficult group; we always get mickey mouse groups in major tournaments and then the players never get going/are too arrogant to play to their best and are then get ambushed by better teams. Give them a tough group ad let them fight from the start. Having said that, I still wouldn't want to face Spain or Germany early doors, but we'd probably have to beat one or the other to get to the final anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We always face Sweden at major championships, so I wouldn't be surprised to see us face them again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We always face Sweden at major championships, so I wouldn't be surprised to see us face them again. Oh yeah, it's Holland who're the other top seed. I'd fancy our chances against Holland actually; if you stop Sneijder (easier said than done), you stop Holland plus they're a physical team and we've got a number of players who enjoy that kind of battle. Perhaps Holland, ENGLAND, Sweden, France? No gimmees but every game is highly winnable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex_BCFC Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 I would rather not play Rep of Ireland. Just have a feeling they would love it and beat us. Poland, Greece and Denmark for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will help keep expectations low, which will take the pressure off - instead of having a expectation that we'll win the bloody thing Thats how i see it too. There is no easy way through to the semis or the final at the Euros, you will have had to have beaten at least 2 top teams to get that far. Just want to see England give a good account of themselves for a change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handsofclayOLD Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 Heard this on 5-live a while back, but thought it was worth repeating here: If Spain, Italy, Greece and Ireland are drawn together will it be called 'The Group of Debt'?

Gazred Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 Is that 5pm draw,or the start of two hours of bull shit............ Sure to be a little of that. Wonder what legends of the game the Ukraine and Poland will dust off and bring out for the occasion as seems to be the norm for these events. Shevchenko??

Alex#40 Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 Anything but Spain, England, Portugal, France would be a result. Obviously would love Poland, England, Greece and Czechs but as long as we're one of the two "Big" teams in the Group I'd be happy enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
