Warsaw, Poland (GenevaLunch) - England and Switzerland were both drawn in the same group for the qualifying round of the UEFA 2012 Euro championships. The other teams in the group are Bulgaria, Wales and Montenegro. England manager Fabio Capello claimed it was a difficult group, not the opinion of most observers. He was irritated that the draw was overshadowed by the continuing scandal related to sacked England captain John Terry.

Perhaps the toughest group contains Portugal, Denmark and Norway. France face Romania, while Germany meet Turkey. Scotland are with Spain and the Czech Republic while Italy and Serbia provide a stern test for Northern Ireland. Group E includes Netherlands, Sweden, Finland and Hungary.
