Always love the draw for International Tournaments. Think it's because it takes me back to the days of stickers, however they'll struggle this year given we won't know 4 of the 24 teams until playoffs are completed in March.

Group B: Russia and Denmark
Group C: Holland
Group D: England

I've read the paper this morning and I think I understand it now:

England are guaranteed the winners of Path C in their group - Scotland, Israel, Norway or Serbia.

From Pot 2 we can only get one from: France, Poland, Switzerland or Croatia.
From Pot 3 we get one from: Portugal, Turkey, Austria, Sweden Czech Republic.

Wales can only go in Group A or B, so England can't draw them. Because of the Russia/Ukraine problem, Group B is already 75% decided - Russia, Denmark, Belgium and either Finland or Wales.

BBC link above has already worked out how the groups look at this stage. Wales will be in group A or B, England have the winners of the Path C play offs in their group, could also potentially have France and Portugal at the group stage.

Somewhat amazing really that as a seeded team it’s possible to draw both the reigning world and European champions in the group stages. I’m going to the game at Wembley on the 19th - taking my lad and my dad. My dad took me to the Switzerland game at Euro 96 as a surprise for my tenth birthday, so it would be quite nice in a way if it turned out to be Switzerland again.

Was once a sucker for international football but the completely ****ed up format of this tournament and the next World Cup being held in Qatar has pretty much killed all my interest.
