Tedious group, though Roy can now build a young squad after the World Cup.

Not sure why you think Scotland will struggle through that. Defeat against the Krauts is a given but beyond that there's nothing there to fear. Wales have got an odd group. Both Israel and Cyprus are more than capable of getting wins against sides you wouldn't expect

Very easy group for England. Wales should nick 3rd in their group. Scotland will just fall short I feel. While Northern Ireland were probably put in the easiest group avaliable so may stand a chance.

I think I'd quite like to go to the Euros in a couple years time. Have wanted to go to see a international tournament for a while now but this is the first one that has truly appealed to me.

Of course there is, you're talking about the perennially shoite Scots. The only win they're guaranteed is against Gibralter, the rest should wipe the floor with them.

As for England they should have every reason to believe they can top the group with a 100% record. They, not the Scots, have nothing to fear.
