Euro 2012 Draw - 5pm today

[Gwylan]

We really should get through ours but Group B must the toughest group ever in a major football tournament

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

out in the quarters at best

out in the quarters at best

This, cant see us getting any further!!

 

[JJB]

Anyone planning on going?

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

the euro's are so f***ing EPIC........can't wait

 

[Foster House]

Agree with the more negative posts. I think France and Sweden will be difficult in the finals of a major tournament for the current English side. Ukraine in Kiev- even the best teams would be happy with a draw. Oh and then there's the potential Quarter Finals...

I'm just happy to enjoy the football!

That's a terrible draw for those of us who were hoping to go out there. I was looking for a Poland based group. Would have preferred to be in Ireland's group - we're not going to win the thing, so we might as well have had some tasty games.

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

how can they take 16 of the best teams in Europe and come up with the most boring draw? oh well.

Plus, aren't we supposed to be based in Poland? Thats f***ed that up

So it's
June 11th France 5:00
June 15th Sweden 5:00
June 19th Ukraine 7:45

so who do we get in the latter round...or who are we matched up to potentially play?

 

[Triggaaar]

It's a f***ing joke that Ireland get put in the hardest group for every major tournament.

Look at England's groups, only ever mediocre teams, then Ireland get f***ing Spain and Italy. What a load of shit.

Ireland aren't in the hardest group, group B is the hardest.

And of course Ireland are normally in a harder group than England, because Ireland have a lower ranking. For example, which team has the hardest 3 games: Denmark. The other 3 teams in their group have it easier. QED.

 

[Triggaaar]

what group do we play if we win or come 2nd in ours? possible next round?

If we get through, we play group C. Spain or Italy.

Has anyone asked Blatter who's going to get through to the quarter finals?

 

[JonathanLivingstonSeagull]

Despite being hard / solid ours is definitely the easiest save only group A.

Spain in the quarters? Seems likely knowing us. Would consider vs Italy a 50/50...

And FFS f***ing sweden! Always f***ing sweden!! That's a draw then.

@sharpeangle: 1st significant betting move since Euro draw announced-England cut by Wm Hill from 5/2 to 2/1 to fail to get through their Group.#Euro2012

 

[Triggaaar]

I like 9/4 on England exiting at the quarters.

Is it worth taking Rooney though .. youth vs experience?

Ticket applications have gone live today.

Not cheap but as wasn't expecting anything else. Quite a jump between Cat 3 and Cat 2 tickets for the final though.

Group Matches 120 € / 70 € / 30 €
Quarter Final 150 € / 80 € / 40 €
Semi Final 270 € / 150 € / 45 €
Final 600 € / 330 € / 50 €

Dunno how many locals will be able to afford those prices but I'm sure they'll find a way.

 

[northernblue]

the tickets arent that bad in price but getting there and getting a roof over your head will cost an absolute fortune! I wouldn't feel too safe going over there either, much safer and cheaper to stay at home imo!

 

[Wozza]

120 euro tickets currently available for France v England... Think I'll pass.
