This year's European Cup in France, Italy unfortunately ended up in the same group as the France Team.
The European Cup here hasn't been restructured yet, with only sixteen teams making it to the main tournament, divided into four groups. The top two teams from each group advance, making the final eight, then the final four, the final two, and finally the championship.
Smooth and clean.
Group A consists of France, Portugal, Italy, and Russia.
Rankings are ordered accordingly.
Basically, France and Portugal are also the two most favored teams to advance from this group.
Group B consists of Germany, Poland, Wales, and Switzerland.
Germany's draw is even better than France's, as they are almost certain to advance from this group.
Group C consists of England, Belgium, Ukraine, and Greece.
Group D consists of Spain, Netherlands, Scotland, and Sweden.
These two groups generally have a significant gap in strength between the first two and the last two.
