Is it top 2 go through?

scotland are out

Not a bad draw for us.

Could not have had an easier draw, Capello looks over the moon

No.

The nine group winners, automatically qualify along with the best runner-up.

The other eight runners-up play a two-legged play off game to make 14 teams to qualify.

Groups 1-6 will have results involving the team which finishes bottom of the group removed to determine the best runner-up. This makes sure all second place teams will be based on eight games.

Then add Poland and Ukraine and you have the 16 finalists.

Switzerland have done well in qualifying in recent years but regardless England should be able to negotiate that group easily enough.

We've got two games to look forward to against the Welsh.

That'll be some sight: all those England fans crossing the Severn Bridge to Cardiff.

That's a great stadium, that Millenium Stadium.....as I know from personal experience.

Mr.Bramstein, did you see how Switzerland played in Euro 2008 - they were awful.

Easy pessy that group book your tickets

Can see Wales giving us a really difficult couple of games, afterall they'll be well up for it, and that ignoramus Bellamy is bound to have a blinder.

Chris Llewellyn has played for Wales.

Nice to see he's played for somebody, as he certainly never played for us.

Effion Williams almost did.

Oh right, easy as that then

Add on top of that some countries such as Armenia and Azerbaijan could not be drawn in the same group...and you find the draw proceedure even more difficult to follow.

I agree but I wasn't on about the finals of tournaments. I was referring to the qualifying tournaments that precede them. Leaving Euro 2008 aside (as they qualified automatically) Switzerland have made it to the last three tournaments they have had to qualify for.
