Real Pots for Euro 2008 Draws

Due to big surprises pots are changed, and these should be the official ones.


Pot 1 (Top seeds)
Austria (host)
Switzerland (host)
Greece (defending champion)
Netherlands

Pot 2 (second seeds)
Croatia
Italy
Czech Republic
Sweden

Pot 3 (third seeds)
Romania
Germany
Portugal
Spain

Pot 4 (bottom seeds)
Poland
France
Turkey
Russia

Pot 3 is the luckiest one

Sweden is very lucky, as is Romania.

For Greece, ideally, i would like this draw:

Greece
Sweden
Romania
Poland (or maybe France, cause sometimes it helps to have a traditional power in the group)

Worst scenario:

Greece
Italy
Germany/Spain/Portugal (take your pick)
France

England have been put in the babys pot with the rest of the sh|t...

I'd like this group:

Netherlands
Italy
Spain
France


Since we always underachieve and go home early, at least I'd like to lose against a team, not a band!

....

With the unusual 0-0 Vs Galles, Germany has now a better position for the draw

mhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

The Eyeties will bribe the refs or cause crowd trouble,kick them out now.

and put England back in ....

No, leave England out - we have suffered enough embarassment as it is without having to return from Austria & Switzerland with 0 points.

Yes, I agree. Kick us out now... How else would those less fortunate teams ever manage to win? A bit of charity never hurt anyone...

Netherlands
Italy
Spain or Germany
France

That would prevent too many heartaches for the Dutch, Spanish (or Germans) and French - get 'em knocked out quickly...

It's not with this mentality that we would win something.

Humble and aware of own skills, but not arrogance

I wouldn't call that arrogance... it's just some personal (and useless) incitement for a team...

how do they actually decide the teams to be in this pot and that pot? -.-?
it seems as complicated as the time i saw the draw for Champions League @.@
i no longer have fave teams since englands out ~ so will be fun seeing good teams killing one another ~ lol ~ me=devil XD
anyway ~ maybe i'll vote for portugal or spain to keep going through the next round and next round ~ but certainly neither les blues nor the azzurri ~ lol =P

Coefficients are made by total points earned in both qualifications fo Germany 06 and Austria/Switzerland 08 divided by the matches played.

First pot was for the most already decided with hosts Austria/Switzerland and Champions of Greece.

For a top team being in pot 1 isn't that great because it's almost certain that they will get a tough group, indeed last night Germany and Netherlands ( the only 2 teams which could have been in pot 1 ) tried to play bad and not get points. Netherlands lost but still they have the best coefficient so they will remain in pot 1, while Germany will be in pot 3.

^ ah ~ thanks for the explanation ~ football knowledge can be so killing me too T.T
it's always so lucky being the host ~ i wonder when englands turn will be -.-?
best thing's hopefully all results are fair ~ no uncessary penalties in winning ~ lol

England is officially interested for World Cup 2018, i guess it would be fair for them to host it.

^ yeah ~ why fifa seems to hate england so much? i just kinda sense it sometimes T.T
i mean ~ it's not their fault to have the best league in europe ~ or maybe around the world too!!
on the other hand ~ they're actually supposed to be given an extra pass like joining through all competitions without any qualifications at all ~ lol [guess others might start shooting me about this issue ~ peace yo =P]
2018 is such a long time to come ~ i mightn't just have the chance to see england winning euro cup or world cup T____T

Who wants to be in the pot 1? LOL
Fifa must change this rules, it's ridiculus

I would like to see this group :

Greece
Italy
Portugal
France

I think you're wrong with the order of the pots, the pot 4 is the best, and France is in it.

The order is Pot 4, Pot 3, Pot 2 and Pot 1.
