As long as we avoid Spain/Holland and France, i'll be happy. Would be an enormous bonus to get one of the hosts.

I thought pot A was Ukraine, Poland, Holland, Spain?

**Richard Keys** · 10-13-2011, 01:43 PM

^Those aren't the pots, or so I saw on the espn site.

Pot 1
Poland (Hosts)
Ukraine (Hosts)
Spain (Holders)
Netherlands

Pot 2
Germany
Italy
England
Russia (Can drop into pot 3 if Croatia win both play off matches)

Pot 3
Croatia/Turkey (Croatia can move into pot 2 if they win both play off matches)
Greece
Sweden
Denmark (Drop into pot 4 if Portugal qualify)

Pot 4
Portugal/Bosnia (Portugal will be pot 3 but Bosnia will be pot 4)
France (Can rise into pot 3 if both Croatia and Portugal are eliminated)
Winner or Ireland/Estonia game locked in
Winner of Czech R/Montenegro locked in

I think that's it anyway.

Thought the hosts both went into pot D. Like at the world cup.

Looking at the fixture your right Poland have taken position A1 and ukraine have taken D1.

Portugal overtake Italy if they qualify though

**Seb** · 10-13-2011, 01:52 PM

So basically we need to avoid France from pot 4 at all costs, and Portugal from pot 3 (they're bad, but they're our bogey team), unless we get Poland or Ukraine from pot A, in which case it doesn't matter if we get better pot 3 or 4 teams.

Basically once we get out of the group stage, my expectations lower and I can really enjoy the tournament.

When is the draw?

Gunner14 · 10-13-2011, 01:54 PM

from those pots id love

Spain
England
Portugal
France

**Seb** · 10-13-2011, 01:59 PM

I'd prefer:

Spain
England
Greece
Ireland

or

Ukraine
England
Portugal
Ireland

If we get Poland or Ukraine, we shouldn't have many problems getting through, as it's unlikely we'll get both Portugal and France. When/If we get out of the group, I don't care who we play. There's nothing like big game joy/heartbreak, so bring on anyone. As long as Rooney doesn't get sent off or Hart breaks his hand.
