Erm that’s not what happens - that’s why you groups of death, it’s why Belgium has a far harder group than England. But you convince yourself otherwise
We have Poland, Belgium have Wales. I rate Poland as being a better team than Wales.
Have you seen France's group? Or Germany's? That's what happens when you're the top seeds, draw can look quite favourable but rather this than have England, Spain, Italy in one group and another made up of Malta, Belarus and Scotland.
Once we had Italy in our group, on another occasion Germany. We topped both groups mate.
