From the BBC site:

Can we have that again please!

by Beer Fri 02 Dec 2011, 5:07 pm

England drew Poland, Sweden and France in the earlier rehearsal.

by Thomond Fri 02 Dec 2011, 5:08 pm

I have always wondered why they rehearse it. I mean it's hardly going to go jubblies up now is it. It's taking balls from a pot how hard can it be? I'm looking forward to it anyway. Easy group with England in it would do me. Ireland got Poland, Greece and Germany in the rehearsal. I think Ireland could get out of the group.

by Irish Curry Fri 02 Dec 2011, 5:13 pm

I'd love to get England in Irelands group, we would have to beat ye though raspberry

I would like Poland and Greece too but sure we'll see, That singer is cr@p!

by Beer Fri 02 Dec 2011, 5:14 pm

I'd like France and Spain.

by Guest Fri 02 Dec 2011, 5:15 pm

Are we not in the same pot as Spain?

by Beer Fri 02 Dec 2011, 5:16 pm

No, they are top seeds with Holland and the co-hosts.

We have Germany in our pot i believe.

by Irish Curry Fri 02 Dec 2011, 5:20 pm

Yeah I think thats right along with Russia and someone else.

by Beer Fri 02 Dec 2011, 5:24 pm

by Guest Fri 02 Dec 2011, 5:57 pm

Netherlands, Germany, Portugal in the same group.
Ireland have a tough time.

by **ADMIN** Fri 02 Dec 2011, 5:58 pm

Group B looks fantastic

by Guest Fri 02 Dec 2011, 6:00 pm

So do group C winners play group D runners up etc?
We could get Spain after the group stages if that applies.

by Irish Curry Fri 02 Dec 2011, 6:00 pm

So heres the plan, Ireland beat Croatia in the first match, try and scrape a draw off Spain, an do what ever we need to do vs Italy and we are through Smile

Sorted!

by **Crimey** Fri 02 Dec 2011, 6:03 pm

England got the best draw, Ireland would have got the worst draw until you see Group B and have to feel for Denmark fans.

by **ADMIN** Fri 02 Dec 2011, 6:06 pm

I would say it will go like this:

Group A
Greece
Russia
Czech
Poland

Group B
Germany
Holland
Portugal
Denmark

Group C
Spain
Italy
Croatia
Rep of Ireland

Group D
England
France
Sweden
Ukraine

Therefore QFs would be...

Germany bt Russia
Holland bt Greece
Spain bt France
Italy bt England

SF:

Germany bt Spain
Holland bt Italy

Final

Germany bt Holland

by Guest Fri 02 Dec 2011, 6:07 pm

very happy with the group that england got Smile

however ireland are screwed.

by Irish Curry Fri 02 Dec 2011, 6:12 pm

All is not lost for Ireland! The table could end up like this IMO depending on the last game against Italy.

Spain-9
Ireland-4
Italy-4
Croatia-0

E.g. if Ireland beat Croatia, then lose to Spain and Italy do the same then this is what will happen if Italy and Ireland draw in the last match.
If we draw with Italy and have a better goal difference then them we are through I think. Croatia finished second behind Greece in their group and Italy are not a great side anymore.

We play Croatia then Spain then Italy in Poznan for second place (hopefully) Its all set up angel

Then an Ireland-England 1/8 Wink

by Guest Fri 02 Dec 2011, 6:14 pm

you are optimstic irish curry lol Wink

by Guest Fri 02 Dec 2011, 6:15 pm

Anything is possible.
So is England drawing with Sweden and getting beat by France.

by Guest Fri 02 Dec 2011, 6:16 pm

yup we will only beat ukraine

by Guest Fri 02 Dec 2011, 6:21 pm

England team for the group stages?

-----------------Hart------------
Johnson--Ferdinand--Terry----Cole---
----------Parker-----Barry----------
