SEVEN OUT!

I know, it is terrible he keeps getting us into a position where we are seeded for qualifying tournaments. The fool. A good honest England manager would make it his job to make sure we were not amongst the seeds for qualifying as it should be.

EURO 2008™ seedings confirmed

Reigning European champions Greece are top seeds in the draw for the UEFA EURO 2008™ qualifying competition in Montreux, Switzerland on 27 January 2006 at 12.00CET.

Hosts qualified
Austria and Switzerland, as host nations, qualify directly for the final tournament. The remaining 50 associations will be drawn into one group of eight and six groups of seven teams. The seven group winners and seven runners-up will qualify for the finals.

Seven pots
The sides have been split into seven pots, based on results achieved in the qualifying tournaments for UEFA EURO 2004™ and the 2006 FIFA World Cup. The total number of points obtained has been divided by the total number of matches to give the coefficient rankings. In the case of national associations with equal coefficients, the most recent qualifying competition has been taken into account to determine the ranking.

I thought the players picked themselves if they were fit and Sven is just a figurehead. Like the queen.

Useless but EXPENSIVE

England
Germany
Denmark
Scotland
Wales
Northern Ireland
Malta

That'll do.

 

[Uncle Buck]

A qualifying group of;

England
Croatia
Ukraine
Lativa
Lithuania
Belarus
Kazakhstan

Not done any of those countries and Kazakhstan means more cheap caviar and they will probably bring that 'interesting' boat from Baku over for England's visit.

 

[The Large One]

Behave, England and Poland are ALWAYS drawn together. What price that happening again this time?

Well at least we cannot get Poland and Turkey together.

The Irish have dropped heavily, they were seeded for the qualifiers of Euro 2004 and now they are in Pool 4.

 

[Pavilionaire]

Not really the news Brian Kerr was looking for...

 

[The Large One]

Isn't it the case that all of those in Pool 1 were quarter-finalists in Euro 2004, plus Denmark, who somehow find themselves in Pool 3? Like, weird.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

When is the draw?

Reading it, record in the qualifying tournaments for Euro 2004 and Germany 2006 are taken into account. Denmark messed their World Cup qualifying up, so it has gone against them.

Yes - can you do anything but jump on bandwagons?
