If the standard of European international football is anything like the Europa League, England should get through that group.

Lucky draw that. still I have to say I can only get excited about Stoke. I'm also tempted to stick up for ROI with Whelo and JW in the side. Beats supporting a team with Wiltshire, Cole, Terry, Ferdinand, gerrard, Rooney and Lampard. +1 Go on ROI.

hosts, our bogey team, and a team so bad they will inevitably do really well...could be a tough group!

Could have been worse but that's a tough group for us. We need 3 pts off Croatia and, although they have improved lately, the Italians are far from unbeatable.

Group D face Group C in the Quarter-finals, so our first game up against France is absolutely crucial really, because it's highly likely the winner of this game will be the winner of Group D, and it's highly likely the winner of Group D will avoid Spain in the Quarter-finals. Even though there will two more games to play in our Group after the opening game against France, the result from our opening game will probably decide whether we have a chance of winning the tournament or not.

Given that Spain will win their group, it's bloody important we win ours too. If we win our group too then we won't be able to face Spain until the final!

I can't get remotely interested in England's draw but found myself really concerned about the ROI?? S'pose it shows that Stoke are far more important to me than England as I'm more interested in a country containing Stoke players than a country that isn't!!

I see the dick measuring Stoke and England scenario has started again.....if anybody is not interested in England why the fuck do they feel the need to constantly come on here and keep telling us?
As for supporting another country well words just fail me tbh

Why dick measuring? I don't care about England football wise, the players are possibly the most objectionable group of prima donnas you could imagine. ROI have two honest hard working Stoke players in their ranks and I have more interest in their games than England.

I can't wait for Euro 2012.
A month of football and betting. Excellent.
England always disappoint, but I'm behind them 100% and every tournament I hope we can somehow pull something out of the bag (I cling to the belief that if Greece can do it...).
There's something about international tournaments that turn me into a 9 year old kid, filling in wall-charts and wanting to collect stickers.

I'll do what I do with all major international tournaments and enjoy the football without getting sucked into the hype surrounding our National team. Yes, I will be hoping ROI win their games purely because of the Stoke connection, like I looked out for the Iceland result when we owned by them.

The fixtures are not kind with the pub and BBQ scene though as we play Monday ( France ) Friday ( Sweden) at 5pm and Tuesday ( Ukraine ) at 7-45. Tthe next stage is on a Saturday or Sunday( depending where we finish or even qualify ) v 1st or 2nd in Spains group both at 7-45
