Groundhog day

Can't play Germany or Poland Imre. Now play the runner up in Group F, either Hungary, Iceland or Portugal with likely France waiting in the quarter final.

And the taff's will probably have Albania   we'll never, ever hear the last of this   beating them means nothing, the twats will always harp on about this  

The taffy will get one of the following:

Group A (Albania), Group D (unconfirmed, but one from Czech Republic, Croatia or Turkey) or Group C (unconfirmed, but one from Germany, Poland or Northern Ireland).

There are a bunch of teams in there that I wouldn't want to face and only Albania or NI that would be considered as an "easy" tie!! Personally I prefer the choice in the last 16 that we have but it's beyond the last 16 that our 2nd place now sees us facing a more difficult path, but it was always going to get difficult at some point.

So far in the bottom half of the draw we have England, France and Italy. Spain are likely in the top half so won't face them until the final. Germany will be in the bottom half if they win their group but that may come down to GD between them and Poland, and I fancy Poland to stick more past Ukraine than Germany do past NI. Either way it was always going to be tough but most of us thought the QF was as far as they would get anyway.
