thank god italy is not in the group of death like last time, italy can qualify with spain in quater finals, netherland, germany, portugal and denmark = group of death. i guess netherlands and germany would most likely qualify. why did they put poland, grecce, russia and czech republic in one group.

thats what people said when italy got drawn with paraguay, new zealand and slovakia in 2010, yet they finished bottom

That's definitely not a good group for Italy, both Ireland and Croatia are capable of taking points from them.

The Gods shined on England there, thank God we avoided Group B. It's all destined for an England vs Germany final

There's some cracking ties there.

Glad England avoided the group of death. Poor Ireland, getting grouped with Spain but they could take points from Italy and Croatia. Group A is the easiest group of them all and group B is the hardest one. It'll be exciting to see some of the games from that group in particular.

that was last year, i am sure this time it wont happen, plus england group is not so easy, ukraine and france can take points from them. i doubt england would reach the final, italy has more chances than england from reaching the finals. 1st group i predict that greece and russia would qualify. group b would be tough, but i think germany and netherland would qualify, group c would most likely be spain and italy. group d would most likely be england and france. i would not be suprised if it would be ukraine instead of france though

[Chain Gang Soldier]

England not in Group B = Win. Portugal got the short end of the stick there though. Germany & Holland along with Spain are the best 3 International teams in the World right now So I could easily see them in third place.

So many glamour ties:

England vs France
Spain vs Italy
Holland vs Germany
Portugal vs Holland
Germany vs Portugal

Plus obviously for me, the other English games to look forward too, and all the Group C games look like must watch ties as well.

Ireland have a very good chance of beating Italy. We have no need to fear italy, as they havent beaten us in the past 3 or 4 times we played them.

Decent draw. I predict Ireland to come second, and if england come top of their group.... BRING IT ON

It will be a game to savour.
