    We've lost to Greece before and Czechs are not bad at all.

    I'll take Sweden there. Second best scenario out of that pot, IMO.

    A: I'd say that Russia have every shot at qualifying, but it will be wide-open

    B: Toughest group by far, Germany and the Dutch are probably favored

    C: Spain should get through easily

    D: Tough group for Ukraine, I don't see them getting through

    Can't believe group A- Russia certainly lucked out I would say.
    Group D is tougher, but England doesn't really scare me at this point. We had a shocker against a French C-side recently, but I think they too (like England at the moment) are a side in transition. Not going to be easy, but as a Ukraine fan I won't despair just yet

    I don't know about that. They're certainly not favorites, but all three are beatable. To be honest, France is the toughest opponent in my book.

    Wow, it's almost anti-climactic how soft Russia's group is.

    Going to be hard for Ukraine but France and England aren't Spain and Germany. onnahave to take three from Sweden.

    Yeah but there is the question of how they will perform under pressure, since they'll be expected to progress with this draw.

    Not saying Russia should complain at all about this draw, but I honestly wouldn't be shocked to see them fail to make it out.

    I wouldn't be shocked but Russia's the favorite here even if not the clear one. When it comes own to it Russia has better players than the other three teams, anything less than a QF spot would be a big dissapointment.

    IMO, they are clear favorites in Group A. First test will be tough, second will be even tougher.

    I guess I'm not convinced that this young French team is that great, while I do think England is underrated right now.

    But either way, it's not a horrible draw for Ukraine.

    Will England have Rooney for Ukraine or is that up in the air still?

    I hope Russia beat Poland with style. My dream right now is to be at a bar with a bunch of Polacks and see their facial expressions as the Russian players pull off back heels and dummies on their team.
