Its today at 11.00 a.m in Montreux,Switzerland,to qualify for the 2008 European Championship in Austria and Switzerland.
We [England] are one of the seven seeds which means we could face any of the home nations :roll: .The other seeds are Greece,Holland,Portugal,Czech Republic,France and Sweden.
There will be seven groups,six will have seven teams and one with eight teams.The teams finishing first and second will qualify,so there will be no play-offs.

It's possible to have all the home nations together, i think. Now that'd be good.

 Your right. I'm well pleased with our Group,it could have been a lot worse.I thought we'd get Group D, considering who's in it. |

I Like that group, have we ever played Israel before? Always nice to play a new team we haven't come up against.

I think Croatia will beat us once.
Apart from that we should can the group.
And to be honest i can;t see France finishing above Italy. They aren't that good any more
