what random seedings, don't see why the hosts should go in pot 1 just because of being hosts.

mon a group of death, could be a couple of groups of death out of the 4 looking at the pots

according to the Euro 2008 wiki page - Austria and Switzerland are top seeds due to hosting (Switzerland in Group A, Austria in Group B) Greece are top seeds because they won Euro 2004 - but the rest is a total mystery

could be some great groups though, so maybe that is what the organisers are hoping for

don't see the point in putting the hosts in the top seeded pot, not like they are going to get easier draws with Italy, Germany, France and Spain in the pots below them, but I'm sure they'll be delighted at avoiding Greece

shared hosting just a nonsense. bad enough when one rubbish team gets a free pass to the tournament, two just daft.

Holland and Portugal have my full support for this, really quite looking forward to it.
