    I agree. Really want to see Poland vs Germany in the Q-F. A Euro in Poland without one, wouldn't be complete;)

    I didn't realize this before, but the draw seems to be set-up so that if Ukraine or Poland win their groups they have to play outside their own country in the semifinal, but if they finish runners-up they would have home advantage in the semis. WTF?

    That seems backwards to me.

    Correct, but realistically qualifying top of their group for Poland or Ukraine is much less likely then 2nd place. So current draw gives them a more realistic chance to play all games on own soil. That is assuming they could get that far, which is a big assumption of course ;)
