I'm sure those spaniards are happy right about now. Cracking that champagne open...

I like what Sweden got. Sweden stands a good chance in there. They can win that group. I like it. Could've been better(like Spains group...), but... could have been worse. Would say that A is the death group.

Group winner predictions:

A: Germany
B: Russia
C: Italy
D: France
E: Sweden
F: Greece
G: England
H: Denmark
I: Spain

after holland (qualifiers for wc 2006, euro 2008, and euro 2008 group), now we have france for the 3rd time i a row ( euro 2008, wc 2010 qualifiers). So far, 3 draws

) : 0-0, 2-2 and 1-1.

what else do we have : bosnia...we kicked them twice a few years ago, but its not gonna be easy anymore. belarus : we always beat them, albania & luxemburg, no real problem with those... We we fortuned, we can qualify.

England has tough one

also Portugal..i never like two scandinavian teams in the same group

) especially after the sweet 2-2 at euro 2004 (sweden -denmark)

Groups A and H seem pretty tough. I dont think it will be easy for the spaniards, the Scots are hard nut to crack, they can cause a lot of troubles in this group.

mihaita666 · 02-07-10, 08:09 AM

be serious, spain can make maximum points there....look at their squad, look at their under 21 squad and u will see what im talking about....spain will dominate the football for many years.

Horror draw for my wee country (Northern Ireland), we have no chance against Italy and Serbia and to draw Slovenia out of pot 4 was just really bad luck, but the away trips should be good, can't wait for the Estonia away game and goin back to Slovenia again should be good.

mihaita666 · 02-07-10, 09:47 AM

u guys really have a tough group...good luck

TurkzZ · 02-07-10, 10:00 AM

hey germany wnt be a walk through the park, we dnt have a bad record vs em, + home support away in austria belgium and germany

Shark79 · 02-07-10, 10:15 AM

Turkzz I believe only Turkey might be a problem for them, rest should be easy.

Great, we can see Italy again here

Jimmy0607 · 02-07-10, 05:01 PM

How many qualify per group?

protein · 02-07-10, 05:08 PM

The qualifying round is made up of nine groups of five or six teams, who contest home and away fixtures. The section winners and runners-up with the best record against the top five in their group progress automatically. The remaining eight second-placed sides contest two-legged play-offs, with the victors joining the hosts to complete the lineup for the final tournament.

protein · 02-07-10, 05:09 PM

UEFA EURO 2012 will be the last 16-team finals before the tournament expands to 24 teams in 2016. The qualifiers are drawn into four groups, with the top two advancing to the quarter-finals when it becomes a knockout competition, with extra time and penalty shoot-outs used to decide the winner if necessary.

protein · 02-08-10, 05:45 AM

England has nice chances to advance with small effort I think.

mihaita666 · 02-08-10, 06:07 AM

oh, i dont think anyone mentioned, euro 2012 will be hosted by Poland and Ukraine

That´s the best part actually

I´m aiming for at least one set of group games and maybe also some further game.

Poland and Ukraine are quite close - closer than last time Austria and Switzerland which was also ok by the way.

mihaita666 · 02-08-10, 06:50 AM

ukraine is in the northe of romania, i think there's a posibility i go to euro 2012 if we qualify
