ENGLAND GET THEIR SHARE OF POT LUCK

But danger still lurks for top seeds

- Matthew Dumn

GARETH SOUTHGATE seemed to be going a little bit "potty" when he was cracking on about being top seeds all week.

But with the Euro 2024 draw taking shape as the qualifying process draws to a close, it turns out he was right.

England were one result away from a potential grouping that would have killed our hopes of finally ending all those years of hurt stone dead.

One defeat snatched from the jaws of victory and we could be heading into games against France and Italy. As it is, by scraping into the final place in Pot A ahead of a Hungary team that embarrassed England 18 may ago, months not get much better.
