Pot 1: Austria, Switzerland, Greece, Holland Pot 2: Croatia, Italy, Czech Rep, Sweden Pot 3: Romania, Germany, Portugal, Spain Pot 4: Poland, France, Turkey, Russia Uefa.com This is a bit of a strange situation with the two hosts Austria & Switzerland along with the champions Greece been in the top pool,have we ever seen a weaker top pool for a tourament...?Some great possibility's for groups.
I am not sure how they picked the one remaining team for pot one sure Holland did not even top there group.I would have put the world champions in.
You can be sure there will be one complete group of death to come out of that lot. Bizzare seeding to say the least.
Holland Italy Germany France Holy tomato sauce???? Thats just stupid seeding. When was last time austria actually won a match????
LOL...now that would make great TV,no slacking off like the world cup just straight into good quality teams playing each other.
In contrast to that you could have Austria Croatia Romania Poland You wouldn't exactly be running home from work to catch the kick off in this group with ya. I know the top seeds had to include the hosts and holders, but to see France in as 4th seeds is just plain ridiculous.
Just after finding an explanation to the seeding process, its all based purely on qualifying only over the past two tournaments. You'd have thought they'd include the World Cup finals in some shape or form, to have WC winners Italy behind Holland is strange, to have WC finalists France as bottom seeds is just plain baffling!
