Hitesh Posted 14 October 2005 Share Posted 14 October 2005 England seeded for Euro 2008 draw England are among the top tier of seven seeds for Euro 2008 qualifying. They have been put in a group including defending champions and top seed Greece as well as Netherlands, Portugal, Czech Republic, France and Sweden. Italy and Germany are in the second group along with Croatia, Turkey, Poland, Spain and Romania. Hosts Switzerland and Austria qualify automatically for the 16-team tournament and the draw for the group stage will take place 27 January. The seedings for each country have been based on qualifying for Euro 2004 and next summer's World Cup in Germany. If Greece were not the holders they would only just have made it into the second tier with Germany making the top seven. The 50 teams will be split into six groups of seven and one of eight with the winners and runners-up qualifying for the tournament. Theoretically, England could be drawn with either Italy or Germany and be in the same group as Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland What at group that would be! I think England will find it tough to qualify especially with any of those teams in that second pot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gené and Tonic Posted 14 October 2005 Share Posted 14 October 2005 Would love to be in the same group as Northern Ireland, just to prove we can cope with the might of their attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
