From 6 groups of 4, 16 get through to the knock out round. This means that a team could win the tournament without winning a game and without scoring a goal.
Proper happy with that, glad we avoided likes of italy, poland, austria. Wales will be a great game and we should win the other two, watched Russia on a number of occasions during qualifying they are very average. England should win the group.
Also got tickets for winner of d v runner up of e, so likely Spain v Italy or Belgium.
Christ both Irelands groups look hell-ish they'll have to cling on to the 3rd place qualifying, if we win our group and N. Ireland come 3rd we could be playing them in the last 16. Also if we win our group we can't meet Germany until the final like the sound of that.

Looking forward to seeing some exotic foreign teams.
Early prediction for England. Win v Slovakia, draws v Wales and Russia. I'd hate to be in ROI's shoes that's for sure.
And for England vs Russia in Marseille!! So buzzing!! Can't wait now.
Poland v Ukraine there is also asking for trouble. A lot of trouble.
England vs Slovakia
Italy vs rep of Ireland
Sweden vs rep of Ireland
Portugal vs Iceland
Albania vs Switzerland
To say I'm buzzing is an understatement
although England wont win one game in that group

Germany and Belgium join France in the other half.
(Assuming all the seeds win their groups)
Nice knowing you all
