Euro 2012 Draw

After half an hour, a draw that could have lasted for five minutes was completed and we now know who will face who in the group stage of the Euro 2012.

Group A: Hosts Poland have a good chance of progressing. Russia should win the group but it will be hotly contested as Greece and Czech Republic make up the group.

Group B: This is the group of death, Arjen Robben, Wesley Sneijder, Cristiano Ronaldo, Nani, Mesut Ozil and Lukasz Podolski are just a few of the big stars all in group B. Denmark also join Holland, Portugal and Germany. Portugal and Denmark were in the same qualification group and Denmark met Holland in their World Cup group last year.

Group C: Ireland have a tough job on their hands to get out of group C. World Champions Spain and Italy are likely to stand in their way but Croatia will also be tough for the Irish.

Group D: England should progress as they face hosts Ukraine. The biggest threat should be France as England already beat Sweden in a friendly last month. Although England haven't beaten Sweden in proper competition.
