France(2D) v Slovakia(2E)
Romania(1E) v Slovenia(3C)

Germany(1A) v Denmark(2C)
Portugal(1F) v Slovenia(3C)
France(2D) v Belgium(2E)
Romania(1E) v Albania(3B)
Netherlands(1D) v Turkey(2F)
England(1C) v Austria(3D)
Switzerland(2A) v Italy(2B)
Update after Group A completed (teams in bold guaranteed):
Spain(1B) v Slovakia(3E)
Germany(1A) v Denmark(2C)
Portugal(1F) v Hungary(3A)
France(2D) v Belgium(2E)

Romania(1E) v Slovenia(3C)
Netherlands(1D) v Turkey(2F)
England(1C) v Austria(3D)
Switzerland(2A) v Italy(2B)
Not much changes - only Italy confirms their place tonight.
Croatia aren't done yet - but they are relying on us beating Slovenia 3-0 or by four clear goals tomorrow (plus a few other silly results go their way).
Update after Group D completed (teams in bold guaranteed):
so basically its Netherlands, Germany or the winner of group F (probably Belgium?) regardless of our result tonight
We win... Should be Netherlands We draw (DEN draw / lose)... Should be Netherlands We draw (DEN win)... Germany We lose (DEN win)... Winners of Belgium Group
The simplest way I can see England avoiding Netherlands in the round of 16: beat Slovenia by a clear 3-4 goals, have Denmark beat Serbia and Czech Republic beat Georgia.
The key is to ensure that Group C does not have one of the best third place finishers. If that’s the case, England will play a team from Group E or F instead.

Would it be awful of me to ask what the draw would look like if that scenario happened...? (you're loving this aren't you Cal! lol)

I think I over complicated it a bit… if Denmark and Czech win, it doesn’t matter how many goals England win by. As long as all three of those teams win, England would play Turkey or Georgia.

Lol you’d be looking at something like:
Spain v Slovakia, Germany v Denmark, Portugal v Hungary, France v Romania, Belgium v Netherlands, Austria v Czech, England v Turkey, Switzerland v Italy
That assumes that the favourites like Belgium, England and Portugal all win..

Maybe we missed them being allowed again?
The Dutch keeper having a poor 5 minutes
Former England defender on BBC One
Lewandowski goes to that same side. It's quite brilliant. To beat the goalkeeper he has to go all the way with it, and it's a great finish
Not watching as at sons football training but I am now confused ….
A very funny, funny old game. 2-3 to Austria and nearly 3-3.
Great end to end football in 2nd half.
All I know is 3 teams are going through from group D.
Thats a foul anywhere else??
But their precious players didn't want to hear it, and the Glazers wouldn't have put the changes in place.
Is that the same big lump that scored the winner with his feet after coming on as a sub within 2 minutes against Poland !
France we wouldnt face until the Final
But thats based on us winning the Group ourselves. If we come 2nd then we'll go into the half of the draw with France - Spain - Germany - Portugal
Spain(1B) v Slovakia(3E)
Germany(1A) v Denmark(2C)
Portugal(1F) v Hungary(3A)
France(2D) v Belgium(2E)
Romania(1E) v Slovenia(3C)
Austria(1D) v Turkey(2F)
England(1C) v Netherlands(3D)
Switzerland(2A) v Italy(2B)
Excuses in early for you all
We draw (DEN draw / lose)... Should be Netherlands
We draw (DEN win)... Germany
We lose (DEN win)... Winners of Belgium Group
