England-Wales should be good but have the new improved Wales got enough to trouble England? I think not at this stage but who knows in 2 or so years time. Poor old Northern Ireland are just focusing on scoring a goal at the moment so i doubt we should worry to much about them! Austria and particuarly Poland appear to be the more ardent tasks in the group for England.

I wouldn't say that group is nice and easy. Good chance of a few upsets or dull draws,

Well thats the Taffs out.

And the Jocks.

Probably the Paddys as well.

Maybe the Dutch will struggle.

I am half English half Welsh lol
I think England will win at home but it will be a hell of an atmosphere at the Millenium Stadium
