Euro 2016 Draw

Live on the BBC now. I hope the English get a reasonably challenging group - Croatia, Poland and Albania would be just the ticket.

Ideally England would want Austria/Hungary & Albania.

Personally id like to play someone different for once so Russia/Sweden (Just for Zlatan LOLZ) & Iceland.

Just happy to be there

But I am confident enough to believe we can beat whoever we play

We're in Marseille

We've got Wales

Yes, the Welsh!

Slovakia & Wales. Tricky

We got the mighty powerful all conquering world beaters ENGLAND

And you shall pale at our might.

Wales may have Bale, but England have..erm...Rooney and Sterling. Oh f**k.

England, Wales, Slovakia & Russia

Decent draw for England.

Can see us going out.

Don't fancy us against Wales/Russia

First game vs Russia, both sides will be cagey, so a draw. Wales will sit back & counter, probably end a draw, then beat Slovakia. Five points is my prediction.

About as easy as it could get tbf

It'll make a nice change for Wales, esp Cardiff, fans to watch their team abroad in a tournament instead of masquerading as England fans and kicking off.....

Narrow 1-0 win vs Russia (a header from Gary Cahill; quiet optimism)
Open-ended 2-2 vs Wales (Bale inspired; England cling on)
Narrow 2-1 win vs Slovakia (Rooney taps in from two yards = collective media orgasm)

England subsequently top the group and play 3rd place from one of Group A/C/D. Then Portugal, then Spain, then Germany...glory beckons.

At last.

To be fair there were only two Welsh fans ever caught and that was footballer Dai Thomas and Annis Abraham Jnr who quite frankly is as despised as much at Cardiff City Stadium as the English fans who occupy the away end

But yes we are finally there and playing the best team in the world ever

Official CC fans spokesman and respected author? Seriously tho, the French plod have no idea how to police England fans. Hopefully everyone will behave.

I think Wales will make the quarters tbh.

Belgium Italy & Sweden.

Tricky group.

Confidence will be high though.

Fancy us to play better than in 12.

Looking forward to it now.

You cant control England fans. Mindless thuggery has no reason or remorse. Guess the French police will just have to do their best. I hope it's a trouble free game though. Yeah Annis should have been kicked out of the club years ago. Nothing but a waster with his daddy's cash

It's embarrassing the whole concept, two teams going through & then four third placed teams going through too. Do you know who group B plays in the next stage after the group?

These are our options:

IF WE WIN GROUP B
Saturday 25 June, 18.00 (Paris): Winner B v Third-place A/C/D – Match 2 (opposition likely to be Romania, Poland, Czech Rep or Turkey)

IF WE ARE RUNNERS-UP IN GROUP B
Monday 27 June, 21.00 (Nice): Runner-up B v Runner-up F – Match 8 (If Portugal win the group, then it will be between Iceland or Austria)

IF WE FINISH IN THIRD PLACE IN GROUP B
Saturday 25 June, 21.00 (Lens): Winner D v Third-place B/E/F – Match 3 (opposition likely to be Spain)

thanks, john. coming third is a no-no.

That concept is pretty stupid, here's me thinking it was just the winners and 2 best runners up going into the quarter finals.

Least we may have a chance if we come 3rd.
