Should but wont.
Porridge wogs wont get thru either.
England should walk that though can see the FA struggling to fill Wembley with some of those fixtures

Switzerland and San Marino again? Blimey. Shake the balls before you draw them...

...or bin off this stupid seeding crap.
All teams in the pot, draw them.

Cos those insidious charlatans at UEFA don't want a level playing field

[Costanza]

Seeding isn't the issue, it's the expanding of the tournament itself which annoys me the most.

Finals are in France, then for Euro 2020 it's 'everywhere in Europe' or whatever Platini is planning!

Good draw for England, don't see any reason why they won't qualify - will probably join England fans club and get to some of those away games ahead of France 2016!

This. Just under half the teams will qualify, with the French playing 'friendlies' in Group I.

All the big nations should qualify by the half way stage, meaning there could be a lot of meaningless games.

I stand corrected then,I thought this next one was everywhere.

I reckon It'd be a nice change for a tournament to have teams playing their 'home' games actually at home. It'd be quite interesting I think.
