This is a Nordic Group AFinland is coming out in A4. Portugal made it Iberian by coming in as B2. Poland were drawn into Group C in their first final. And, of course, Wales go into Group D, and that’s the end of it. “Geographical clusters,” as Nadine says.

“The fairly credible rumor around here is that the first ball will be taken out shortly before 6.30pm local time (5.30 UK), so you’re safe to brew yourself…”
Co-host is Ian Wright Wright WrightA veteran TV host for those who remember her channel 5 days. We’ve been given a spotty guide to the glorious country of Switzerland. Each host city is given one runout.
we are going to switzerland And some local talent is performing to welcome them to Switzerland. Swiss hip hop, with a touch of Eurovision. They’re rapping in Swiss French instead of Schweizerdeutsch or Swiss Italian. As usual, the crowd is filled with immobile suits unwilling to respond to the call and response of rapper Stress, who is actually from Estonia.
“I don’t feel any pressure about this draw,” Says Euro 2022 winner and overlapper Jill Scott. Great confidence in the British. We never change.

The strange thing I’m proud of is that no team has ever won the Women’s Euro after being eliminated from Group A or Group B, and 2009 (England) was the only time a team from Group C or D won. Had reached. Last.
There are some caveats to this, not least that the competition had no more than eight teams until 2009 and expanded to just 16 teams as recently as 2017. However, there is a science behind it too. Being in Group A or B means you have more rest between matches and more time to recover from knockout fixtures. Group A winners also generally have the kindest knockout route. If you want the best route to Basel, you’ll want to be in group A or B.
Wales will be bottom as they prepare for their first final.

Speaking to media colleagues from other countries across Europe at the Swisstec Convention Center in Lausanne, there is one team they are hoping to avoid: England. And it’s not hard to understand why when teams are selected from Pot 2, they would be keen to stay away from the holders. UEFA’s decision to prioritize the draw pot based on performance in the Nations League rather than world ranking makes Pot 3 certainly much stronger than Pot 2, where England – ranked fourth in the world – are joined respectively by Denmark, Italy and Iceland was joined by teams ranked 12th, 13th and 14th in the world. The Lionesses were comfortable 5-1 winners over the Italians in February to reflect the change in the strength of that pot. The chances are that whichever group England are in will probably be a ‘group of death’.
