Getting beaten by them at Wembley last year wasn't easy to take, but they're in more or less the same position as us - young, largely inexperienced team, not quite settled on a starting XI and with a lot to prove to their fans. Could be a really exciting game we play against them.

Whatever happens with England, I can't wait for the Euros. European Championships are always so much better for the neutral than world cups, and looking at this draw I don't think this tournament's going to disappoint.
