Euro 2012 Draw Results: Group A

Co-hosts Poland headline Group A of the 2012 UEFA European Championships, but the big name in the group is Russia, more or less by default. Russia were the last teams out of the hat, joining the previously-drawn Greece and the Czech Republic in what looks like it's the easiest group that a major tournament has seen for the past several years. It's difficult to figure out which team is most likely to join Russia in qualifying, but at least that means things will be fairly tense for what would otherwise be some rather boring group stage matches. Of course, the fact that this group is softer than a baby's bottom means for some entertainment elsewhere...

The group (and, indeed, the tournament) will kick off with a match between Poland and Greece, which promises to be more riveting than a busy shipyard.

Pot 1: Poland

Pot 2: Russia

Pot 3: Greece

Pot 4: Czech Republic

Favourites: Russia, Czech Republic.
