siralfred, I read where the seeding was based on qualifying results for Euro 2008 and World Cup 2006. In both of those tournaments, France I believe finished second in their group. That explains their seeding in the fourth pot. I'm not really sure how Holland got a top seed but Germany were likely glad to see their rivals get that instead of them. This was one of the few tournaments were teams did not want to be a top seed. Winslow, good call on Belgium not making the 2nd round at Euro 2000. That is the only host I recall not making it out of group play. This summer we'll have a chance at a repeat of that with both Switzerland and Austria. |

If you want to get up at the crack of dawn or in the middle of the night, depending on your US time zone, ESPN2 is showing the Euro '08 draw at 6 a.m. ET Sunday. |

I'm hoping Spain avoids Netherlands, Italy and France in tomorrow's draw. I agree with those who commented on how strange the seeding of the pots has been for this tournament. A Group of Death inevitably happens in every tournament but the seeding system used almost guarantees there will be an especially difficult group of death in this tournament. Maybe that's good for neutral fans but for those of us with interest in a specific team it could be agony. |
