Draw's been made.
No "Group of Death"
If England don't qualify from:-
San Marino
Lithuania
Estonia
Slovenia
Switzerland
it would be a tad silly.
The other Home Nations appear to have it all to do.

Sounds like a "shoe-in" from that group !!!
But this is England, and we all know that a few cruciate ligaments and meta-tarsals stand in the way.

England should definitely get out of that group, Switzerland will be a good challenge but all in all we should have enough to go through, especially with 2 teams going through automatically and 3rd place either going through automatically or getting into the playoffs!

hopefully we'll be able to rebuild our shattered confidence in that piece of piss group, as we'll be on the first available flight home this summer...

Yeah the Euro will be an absolute farce next year, 32 teams will qualify and with only 54 federations involved that means over half the teams will qualify.....!

Just had a quick re-read of the qualification status.
It's 24 teams that progress, Fudgie.
Top 2 of 9 groups, best 3rd place. Remaining 8 x 3rd placers play-off for 4 places (plus France as hosts)
Should still make it fairly simple for England (fingers crossed)

Ah! My mistake I thought it was 32 to match the World Cup, I think that is the final ambition!
