So, England have been drawn in group 6, which looks like this:

England
Wales
Northern Ireland
Austria
Poland
Azerbaijan

Sven has said that this group isn't easy. Well if this isn't easy then I don't know what is.

England meeting Wales should be good. That's not happened for a long time.

Well, we were top seeds, so we weren't going to get a hard group. But it is still an open group - any one of England, Wales, Austria or Poland could win it.

But I agree, most likely England.

Well, Group 1 and 8 are what I would call a difficult groups. How can England not expect to gain 6 points from Azerbaijan, N.Ireland and Austria who are Poor sides with a capital P. :D

I actually meant 6 points of each team. Beating them all home and away. :D

Going on the assumption that it's 3 points for a win of course.

If we don't win that group then god help us. Mind you I would have said the same if I was Sven, no point setting yourself self up for a big fall - just in case!
