That graphic misses out France as hosts who will also be in Pot 1.

Pot 3 could well include Poland. A group with Germany , Italy and Poland in it would be difficult to progress from.

On the other hand , a group with Portugal , Switzerland and Republic of Ireland might raise hopes of getting through

Doesn't matter. We are there. Play whoever is in front of us. If we as pot 4 are the underdogs - the others might just get a shock. Bring it on. :bluescarf: :ayatollah:

None of it really matters, the only thing the seeding does is keep the top teams apart in the group stages. They will also have to play difficult teams from the other pots so there is no real advantage imo.
