Euro 2020

Group A

Turkey, Italy, Wales, Switzerland

Group B

Denmark, Finland, Belgium, Russia

Group C

Netherlands, Ukraine, Russia, Playoff winner path D A

Group D

England, Croatia, Playoff winner path C, Czech Republic

Group E

Spain, Sweden, Poland, Playoff winner path B

Group F

Playoff winner path A D, Portugal, France, Germany

  • Path A: Iceland, Bulgaria, Hungary (host), Romania (host);
  • Path B: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Slovakia, Republic of Ireland (host), Northern Ireland;
  • Path C: Scotland (host), Norway, Serbia, Israel;
  • Path D: Georgia, North Macedonia, Kosovo, Belarus.
The groups that they will go into is based on the hosts in each Path. If Hungary, Bulgaria or Iceland win Path A, they will go into Group F. If Romania win Path A, they will go into Group C.
 
So if Scotland get through into our group. We are both hosts. Do we play the game at home because we are seeded higher???

Other than that. Boring group. Croatia again and the Czech Republic again. But better than being in group F.
 
This is a little bit interesting from an England point of view...


Better to finish second in group?

Mark Chapman has just made an excellent point on the BBC Two coverage.

If England win their group, they will face the runners-up of Germany, France, Portugal in the last 16.

If England finish second in their group, they face the runners-up of Spain, Poland, Sweden and maybe Northern or the Republic of Ireland.

Tottenham's Steven Bergwijn is among eight Netherlands players to miss out on manager Frank de Boer's final 26-man squad for the European Championship.

Aston Villa's Anwar El Ghazi, who scored 10 Premier League goals in 2020-21, and Fulham's Kenny Tete have also been cut from the provisional squad.

Uncapped duo Cody Gakpo, of PSV Eindhoven, and Ajax's Jurrien Timber, 19, are included.

There is a return for 38-year-old goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg.

Stekelenburg played at the 2010 World Cup final and has returned to action in the Eredivisie with Ajax after time as a reserve at Everton.

Bergwijn, 23, started 13 Premier League games for Tottenham this season but struggled for playing time towards the end of the campaign.

De Boer will be without injured Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk, who ruled himself out of Euro 2020 earlier this month as he continues to recover from knee ligament damage.

Liverpool team-mate Georginio Wijnaldum, Manchester United's Donny van de Beek and Emirates Marketing Project's Nathan Ake are among those included in the squad.

The Netherlands will face Ukraine, Austria and North Macedonia in Group C when the Euros begin in June.

Netherlands squad:
Goalkeepers: Jasper Cillessen (Valencia), Tim Krul (Norwich City), Maarten Stekelenburg (Ajax).

Defenders: Nathan Ake (Emirates Marketing Project), Daley Blind (Ajax), Matthijs de Ligt (Juventus), Stefan de Vrij (Inter Milan), Denzel Dumfries (PSV), Jurriem Timber (Ajax), Patrick van Aanholt (Crystal Palace), Joel Veltman (Brighton), Owen Wijndal (AZ Alkmaar).

Midfielders: Frenkie de Jong (Barcelona), Marten de Roon (Atalanta), Ryan Gravenberch (Ajax), Davy Klaassen (Ajax), Teun Koopmeiners (AZ Alkmaar), Donny van de Beek (Manchester United), Georginio Wijnaldum (Liverpool).

Forwards: Steven Berghuis (Feyenoord), Luuk de Jong (Sevilla), Memphis Depay (Lyon), Cody Gakpo (PSV), Donyell Malen (PSV), Quincy Promes (Spartak Moscow), Wout Weghorst (Wolfsburg)
 
Trent Alexander-Arnold has been named in England's 26-man squad for this summer's European Championship.

Liverpool full-back Alexander-Arnold, 22, is one of four right-backs, while injured duo Harry Maguire and Jordan Henderson are both included.

Boss Gareth Southgate had to cut seven players from his provisional list.

Mason Greenwood withdrew through injury with Jesse Lingard, Aaron Ramsdale, Ben White, Ben Godfrey, James Ward-Prowse and Ollie Watkins all left out.

The final squad means there will be no debutants for the tournament which starts next week.

Alexander-Arnold makes the cut as he looks to add to his 12 caps, the last of which came against Belgium in the Nations League last October.

Alexander-Arnold has missed the past seven internationals but will contest a starting place with Chelsea's Champions League winner Reece James, Kieran Trippier, who won La Liga with Atletico Madrid, and Emirates Marketing Project's Premier League champion Kyle Walker.

Liverpool skipper Henderson has been out of action since February with a groin injury while United captain Maguire missed the last four league games of the season and the Europa League final following ankle ligament damage.

Who do England play this month?
The tournament was delayed by a year because of the coronavirus pandemic and will begin on 11 June, with the final taking place at Wembley Stadium on 11 July.

Southgate will get the chance to assess his picks in two friendlies, against Austria on Wednesday and Romania on Sunday. Both matches take place at Middlesbrough's Riverside Stadium.

They begin their Euros campaign against Croatia on 13 June, followed by a huge match against rivals Scotland on 18 June, rounding off Group D against the Czech Republic on 22 June.

All of England's group games, and knockout matches if they advance, will take place at Wembley Stadium.

Croatia looked good even though they lost 1-0 to Belgium. Modders is still the man. I can see us drawing against them. Main difference is we have Kane, their striker is far less of a threat.
