Who thinks England will be a top seed for their Euro 2004 finals group? If not, who will be (apart from Portugal of course). Discuss.
Also, on December 5th is the World Cup 2006 qualifying draw (yes, already). England weren't actually the top seeds in their group this year. It was Turkey. Surely England have proven that they can finish top of a Euro qualifying group by now?

England will.
Along with Italy, France and Portugal.
No Holland or Spain due to non-direct qualification.

we rely to heavily on gerrard, becks, owen and now rooney. scholes never performs at international level. playing gerrard or lampard left mid is jus ridicolous.

And this is good news. Hopefully Scotland will get a group that they can take some results from. Although no Faroe Islands would be pleasing. Many Scots would take Germany again over them. :-D

Are you sure they bother to take that into account? How come Germany were a top seed in World cup 2002 even after England pushed them into the playoffs during qualification?

Spain have some great talent, look forward to them in Euro 2004.
Germany were beaten finalists in last years World Cup, im sure they will be seeded along with Portugal, France and Italy.
England will be amongst the 2nd seeds.

Well, we'll all find-out on a week-on-Sunday (the 30th), when the draw will be made.
Seriously, though, I don't see how England can fail to be named a top-seed after finishing top of their qualifying group, and currently lying within the top-10 of the `FIFA World Rankings´ table.
...Plus, they are gonna be greatly over-hyped as the favourites!
(I think we're already 3rd with the Bookies, behind France and Portugal...)

England are the 4th highest rated European team atm. If they're not seeded, it's some dumb politically motivated move rather than a footballing one (the type of decision which is becoming increasingly popular - Switzerland to host a major international tournament? Why?).
Personally, I think Spain will be a team to watch. They will be desperate to perform on their neighbours soil, will have little or no climate shock to contend with and also seem to have found their goal touch, given last night's result.
I'm hoping France can do as well in this tournament as they did in the World Cup.
