Thank you and goodnight!
Well that's about that from us!
Thank you so much for joining us on a massive evening ahead of next summer's Euros, we hope you enjoyed it as much as we did!
It was a dramatic draw, with England and Scotland knowing their fates, while Wales have quite the prospect on their hands should they make it through the play-offs.
Thank you so much for your company this evening, take care and we'll see you again soon!
Good bye!

England's first game on June 16 against Serbia
England's first game will come against Serbia in Gelsenkirchen on June 16, before taking on Denmark four days later and will hope to have the group tied up so that they can rest a few faces against Slovenia in their last tie of the group.
Speaking after the draw, England manager Southgate explained he was 'relaxed' about the draw and admitted his side know there is an expectation to perform in the competition.

A reminder of the task on Scotland's hands
A reminder of the group that Scotland now find themselves in, opening the tournament against the hsots Germany on June 14 next year.
![](https://cdn.statically.io/img/i.dailymail.co.uk/i/furniture/live_blog/icons/wales.png)
Wales 'want to play against world class teams'
Despite something of a 'Group of Death' situation on his hands, Wales boss Rob Page remained fairly optimistic after the draw tonight.
He was also quick to point out that his side still need to make it through the play-offs, but did hint that the Welsh camp would go on some scouting missions looking for potential bases if they do indeed make it to the tournament proper.
'It looks like one of the toughest group there. We've got a lot of work to do to get there but the rewards are there. We're all in football because we want to play against the best teams, players and managers and they certainly fall into that category.
'The boys have shown against top opposition that we are more than capable of holding our own and if we get through, brilliant, that means we've had two great performances and then we can take that momentum into the Euros.
'We've played Holland, France and Austria before so we know what to expect. We want to play against world class teams.
'Planning for play-offs in March is going well. We've had to forecast that we will qualify and already get some base camps in line. No doubt in January we will be doing some site visits.'

Laudrup and Silva managed to hold it together after a particularly audible prank
We alluded to it earlier on, but there was a notable prank during the ceremony, which drew a few questions on social media.
David Silva and Brian Laudrup were among those on stage that appeared a little surprised by the noises that they could hear in the Elbphilharmonie, but to their credit they managed to keep it together and see out the draw professionally.

'The games aren't played on paper!'
Southgate was of course quizzed on his takeaways from this draw, and he stopped short of saying that his side were handed a favourable draw, pointing out that the games aren't played just on paper, but on the field, too.
'You always feel the same way after these draws. You can look at it on paper, but the games aren't played on paper! There are one or two you're glad to avoid, but all the teams we'll play are more than capable.
'You can't tell but you look at Serbia with a forward like Mitrovic and you have to be careful about assuming things.
'Slovenia was one of the first games I had as England manager, and I always remember that Joe Hart made a save that, if he didn't, I might not still be England manager!
'We're now able to work out (the logistics) and look at all the timings of arrival in Germany and where we stay, so it gives you a lot more clarity.
'We're hugely excited to be a part of the tournament, we know the expectationa t home, we've developed a lot as a team and we're getting used to these big games and we hope we can give our supporters some brilliant nights as we have in the last few tournaments!'
![](https://cdn.statically.io/img/i.dailymail.co.uk/i/furniture/live_blog/icons/england.png)
![](https://cdn.statically.io/img/i.dailymail.co.uk/i/furniture/live_blog/icons/eurochamps.png)
Southgate is aware of the 'expectation'
Gareth Southgate has hinted that he thinks there is more 'expectation' back home nowadays when it comes to the big competitions, which is probably fair when you take into account the sheer quality that he can call upon.
What do we think the likes of Bellingham, Kane and Saka will be thinking looking at the prospect of Serbia, Slovenia and Denmark next summer?

![](https://cdn.statically.io/img/i.dailymail.co.uk/i/furniture/live_blog/icons/germany.png)
Steve Clarke in good spirits after that draw
Scotland boss Steve Clarke was insistent that his side would be 'competitive' in Germany next summer, and they were looking forward to the challenge of Germany.
'First of all it's nice to have clarity so you know who you're going to face and we can start preparing.
'It's good, you know what you're up against, it is nice to be involved in that first game, and hopefully we can set the tournament off with a good match.
'For us it's not going to be about the occasion, we look forward to it it's an exciting draw, it doesn't matter who it is we were always going to be excited.
And there are of course two other teams in that group: 'Two good teams, we'll be competitive and I think they will too. It's an evenly balanced group,' Clarke added.
And when asked about how this draw changes Scotland's aims next summer, he said: 'The aim is to be competitive'
But what was he thinking when he saw his side's name drawn out?: 'I was actually thinking "I'm quite hungry, I could do with a bit of dinner"!'

![](https://cdn.statically.io/img/i.dailymail.co.uk/i/furniture/live_blog/icons/germany.png)
A tough one for Scotland...
Now for some reaction to Scotland's draw, and this one will likely split opinion.
Scotland fans, would you rather take on one of the big boys straight away - given they're opening the competition against Germany on June 14 - or would you have prefered a more quote-unquote soft group?
Chris Sutton isn't fearful for the Scots, though, and believes that they've got more than enough to trouble the hosts.
'It's brilliant, if you're a Scottish fan, what an opportuniity!
'They're a German team that aren't as strong as they were a few years ago, and Scotland can give them a bloody nose I'm absolutely sure about that!
'Steve Clarke will have them well-drilled, well-organised and he will make it difficult for Germany.
'They've beaten Spain in rcent times - are Germany better than Spain, I don't know.'
![](https://cdn.statically.io/img/i.dailymail.co.uk/i/furniture/live_blog/icons/england.png)
![](https://cdn.statically.io/img/i.dailymail.co.uk/i/furniture/live_blog/icons/france.png)
England's to lose?
So now we've got the groups all sorted, does that change your opinion of who the favourites are?
Chris Sutton seems to believe that it's still England and France who are leading the pack.
'You'd like to think (Southgate) would have learned from his previous experiences.
'But you strip everything back from the other teams, Germany aren't the team they once were, Belgium are an ageing team.
'England, you look at them and France, and you just think what a team this is!'
![](https://cdn.statically.io/img/i.dailymail.co.uk/i/furniture/live_blog/icons/england.png)
Will we see a more attacking England?
Some more reaction from Shearer, who really does think that England are close to peerless ahead of next summer, but he doesn't think that Southgate will change his pragmatic approach in favour of more all-out attack.
'You know what Gareth is like he does what he has to do to get the job done.
'He realises what they have is not great, certainly not as strong as they are in midfield or forward positions.
'But with the strength in depth in midfield and in forward areas, he can look forward to this competition and have great confidence!'
![](https://cdn.statically.io/img/i.dailymail.co.uk/i/furniture/live_blog/icons/england_badge.png)
'Very kind' draw for England
Well the consensus in the BBC Sport studio after that one is that this should be something of a 'soft' run for England.
'The draw has been very kind for England - I don't think that's arrogance, that's just the situation that we're in.
'In midfield and forward areas, England are as good as anyone else, including France!' says Alan Shearer.
Agree or disagree?
![](https://cdn.statically.io/img/i.dailymail.co.uk/i/furniture/live_blog/icons/england_badge.png)
![](https://cdn.statically.io/img/i.dailymail.co.uk/i/furniture/live_blog/icons/scotland.png)
So to wrap up for the home nations...
So Scotalnd go into a very difficult looking Group A alongside Germany, Hungary and Switzerland... a penny for Steve Clarke's thoughts?
England meanwhile get a somewhat easier-looking run, with Slovenia, Serbia and Denmark in there.
Wales could face France, Netherlands and Austria in a mouth-watering group, should they see off the likes of Finland, Estonia and Poland in the play-offs.
Some pointers for the process...
Well it's draw time, which means a long run through of the technical pointers for the draw.
As we already know, there are 21 teams already named with three to go through the play-offs.
From each of the pots will come a name, falling into a group each, with Germany joined by best qualifiers England, France, Portugal, Belgium and Spain.
The three play-off winners have gone into Pot 4, which could be Wales, should they make it through.
The official song contributors are now revealed!
And now perhaps the biggest announcement of the night - it's the line-up for the official song of the tournament.
This one has been kept under lock and key for some time, and here we are.
It's going to be a collaborative effort between Meduza, One Republic, Kim Petras!
And now for another montage - this time some more of the best goals from summer 2021.
![](https://cdn.statically.io/img/i.dailymail.co.uk/i/furniture/live_blog/icons/eurochamps.png)
And now for the rest...
Next out are Greece's Angelos Charisteas and Steve McManaman, followed by Denmark's Brian Laudrup and Tomas Rosicky.
In at six and seven are Ricardo Quaresma and Blaise Matuidi, looking extremely sharp the both of them, as we go into the tail and it's a strong one.
Netherlands representative is Wesley Sneijder followed by Sami Khedira for Germany at nine.
Last of all is Spanish magician and legend is none other than two-time winner, Manchester City legend David Silva!
An interesting bowling attack that would be even if we are one short...
![](https://cdn.statically.io/img/i.dailymail.co.uk/i/furniture/live_blog/icons/italy.png)
A special place in Buffon's heart
Buffon is unsurprisingly still glowing in his praise of that Italy side that went all the way last time out.
He was also part of the Azzurri side that lifted the World Cup in 2006, of course, and admits that Germany holds a place in his heart given it was the backdrop for perhaps the greatest achievement of his career.
![](https://cdn.statically.io/img/i.dailymail.co.uk/i/furniture/live_blog/icons/italy.png)
Our first icon emerges
So we're going to have a few icons out here tonight, and first out is Buffon.
Doesn't need much of an intro, does he - he is the goalkeeper everyone from the last 30 years thinks of, and perhaps the best ever in his position.
Out he comes with the trophy, the representative of the reigning champs, of course.
![](https://cdn.statically.io/img/i.dailymail.co.uk/i/furniture/live_blog/icons/eurochamps.png)
Look away England fans...
We've now got to the more painful element of the night - footage of that night two summers ago at Wembley.
We'll not go into just what it is that we're seeing, but let's just say Spalletti will be enjoying this part of the show in particular.
You'd have to say, though, it does work to the soundtrack, and Hans Zimmer might not have had Luke Shaw's opener in mind when he wrote this particular score, but it doesn't not work.
![](https://cdn.statically.io/img/i.dailymail.co.uk/i/furniture/live_blog/icons/eurochamps.png)
Kauffman keeps on going
Well after the swell of Time To Say Goodbye we drift into something of a heart-warmer for our third offering of the night.
Kauffman is currently nodding encouragingly to the soundtrack of Gladiator, with shots of Ronaldo in the background, rather than Russell Crowe. That's probably fitting, you'd think.
![](https://cdn.statically.io/img/i.dailymail.co.uk/i/furniture/live_blog/icons/eurochamps.png)
Into song No 2...
It's not just the one but the two songs from Kauffman and Garrett!
The latter has been playing the violin since he was four as we're told by the commentary.
Within a minute of that opener they launch into a rendition of Time To Say Goodbye - one of those perhaps made more famous by Boccelli.
And you've got to say, the Italian legend - who of course graced the hallowed KP Stadium to serenade Leicester after that miracle of miracles a few years back - would be impressed if he was in the building tonight.
A hauntingly-held last note is greated with rapturous applause.
![](https://cdn.statically.io/img/i.dailymail.co.uk/i/furniture/live_blog/icons/eurochamps.png)
Quite the scene-setter
Well the humming is certainly over as Kauffman releases an enormous note with the German Youth Ensemble playing their hearts out to keep up with him.
Brief respite for Kauffman before he continues raising a few hairs on the back of necks in that hall.
Fantastic noise, and a pretty strong opener for the night so far!
![](https://cdn.statically.io/img/i.dailymail.co.uk/i/furniture/live_blog/icons/eurochamps.png)
Some music to get us going...
Well first up is a musical number, which is only befitting given we're in one of the most stunning concert halls in Europe.
A slight delay as the choir take up their places, accompanied by a solo violin and house band, but the conuctor starts us up.
It's a rousing and maybe a little morose number that begins with plenty of humming against the backdrop of a slideshow taking us through each of the host cities, sung by Jonas Kauffman with David Garrett on violin.
![](https://cdn.statically.io/img/i.dailymail.co.uk/i/furniture/live_blog/icons/eurochamps.png)
A few pleasantries to negotiate at the start of the ceremony...
Right then, we're just a few minutes away from the show getting underway in Hamurg now...
Those of you who have seen your fair share of these ceremonies will know that it's not simply a matter of tuning in, drawing out some names, and wrapping things up sharpish.
There will be a fair few pleasantries to kick start things off, so we'll steer you through those until we can begin getting a glimpse of how things will shape up next summer!

![](https://cdn.statically.io/img/i.dailymail.co.uk/i/furniture/live_blog/icons/price_shortening.png)
What's in it for the winners?
But what do you get from winning - aside from football immortality and your name in the history books?
For any romantics thinking that might be enough of a reward, there is in fact a financial incentive for success next summer.

Tournament dates
What about the dates for the tournament itself?
Well the group stages kick off with hosts Germany playing at Bayern Munich's Allianz Arena on July 14, and will last all the way up until and will last 12 days, with all six groups playing three games in 12 days
The Round of 16 will run from June 29-July 2, the quarters on July 5 and 6, the semis July 9 and 10 and the show piece final four days after that one.
Hertha Berlin's Olympiastadion is set to host the final. The stadium has a capacity of 74,475. The final will take place on Sunday, July 14.
But who will be lifting the trophy at the end of the month?
![](https://cdn.statically.io/img/i.dailymail.co.uk/i/furniture/live_blog/icons/eurochamps.png)
It may be a little too early for squad predictions...
Admittedly, it's probably a little bit too early to start speculating as to who gets a ticket on the plane for Southgate's side next summer.
That being said, barring injury you'd expect a fair chunk of the regular faces to be on board; your Sakas, your Kanes, your Bellinghams etc etc.
But there are a couple of younger faces that are looking to force their way into contention ahead of the summer.
Check out the link below to see which two youngsters Jamie Carragher reckons have the best chance at sneaking their way into the squad!
![](https://cdn.statically.io/img/i.dailymail.co.uk/i/furniture/live_blog/icons/eurochamps.png)
And welcome to tonight's venue!
But it's not all about the teams in the pots - just look at that venue!
It's all set to take place at the iconic Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg, which is a concert hall that sits on the Grasbrook peninsula of the Elbe River.
But what else do we know about the location where England's Euro 2024 fate will be decided? Mail Sport takes a look....
Check out the link below for more on the Elbphilharmonie!

Are England the team to avoid?
When Gareth Southgate takes his seat in Hamburg’s iconic Elbphilharmonie concert hall tonight, he’ll perch comfortably in the knowledge that England are the team everyone wants to avoid.
Group of Death? Who cares. Banana skin? So what? Home nations clash? No problem. Bring. It. On.
Because this is England’s time, don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

![](https://cdn.statically.io/img/i.dailymail.co.uk/i/furniture/live_blog/icons/eurochamps.png)
And on the flip side...
Admittedly we've a tendency to focus on the negatives, so we might as well take a look at the best possible way that this could pan out for Southgate's side.
Mail Sport's verdict: England, Albania, Slovenia, and Winner of Path C
Albania to their credit won their group ahead of Czech Republic and Poland, while Slovenia finished second, albeit level on points with group winners Denmark.
But while both sides had a good qualifying campaign, they have both played and lost to England six times in their history.
Play-off C meanwhile looks like it would present the best draw on paper from Group D.
It would be an incredible feat for Georgia, Luxembourg or Kazakhstan to make the tournament, as not one of the three have qualified for either the World Cup or European Championship. Greece won the tournament in its biggest ever shock in 2004 but would also be a good draw for the Three Lions.
![](https://cdn.statically.io/img/i.dailymail.co.uk/i/furniture/live_blog/icons/england_badge.png)
![](https://cdn.statically.io/img/i.dailymail.co.uk/i/furniture/live_blog/icons/eurochamps.png)
What about a Group of Death?
About now comes the point where we all fearfully work out what the 'Group of Death' could look like... and probably end up manifesting it!
For England, there are unfortunately quite a few teams that could pose a problem in Pots 2 and 3, with Italy also lurking ominously in Pot 4.
So, feasibly, we could end up with a group of England, Denmark, Croatia and Italy - or even Turkey and Netherlands from Pots 2 and 3 respectively.
Meanwhile the draw does at least mean the Three Lions will avoid Germany, France, Belgium, Portugal and Spain, which is always a good start!
![](https://cdn.statically.io/img/i.dailymail.co.uk/i/furniture/live_blog/icons/eurochamps.png)
![](https://cdn.statically.io/img/i.dailymail.co.uk/i/furniture/live_blog/icons/wales.png)
And the play-offs?
So, this play-offs business... when do those take place and who will be in them, other than Wales?
Six semi-finals split through three different potential paths of progression are scheduled to take place on 21 March 2024 and three finals on 26 March - with the winning three teams then entering the competition.
The three play-off semi-finals is as follows:
- Semi-finals – Path A: Poland (1) vs Estonia (4) / Wales (2) vs Finland (3)
- Semi-finals – Path B: Israel (1) vs Iceland (4) / Bosnia and Herzegovina (2) vs Ukraine (3)
- Semi-finals – Path C: Georgia (1) vs Luxembourg (4) / Greece (2) vs Kazakhstan (3)
![](https://cdn.statically.io/img/i.dailymail.co.uk/i/furniture/live_blog/icons/eurochamps.png)
So what do we know already?
So, what do we know?
Well we know the identities of all but three of the teams that will be playing in the competition next summer, and indeed what pots they currently sit in.
For example, England are in Pot 1, Scotland Pot 3, reigning champions Italy in Pot 4 and of course Wales havea chance of joining them in Pot 4 if they should win through the play-offs, but more on that in a bit!
The pot for the competition so far is as follows:
- Pot 1: Germany (hosts), Portugal, France, Spain, Belgium, England
- Pot 2: Hungary, Turkey, Romania, Denmark, Albania, Austria
- Pot 3: Netherlands, Scotland, Croatia, Slovenia, Slovakia, Czech Republic
- Pot 4: Italy, Serbia, Switzerland, Play-off winner A, Play-off winner B, Play-off winner C
