Automatic qualification for Euro 2012 has been sorted. The teams through are:
Poland
Ukraine
Germany
Russia
Italy
France
Netherlands
Greece
England
Denmark
Spain
Sweden
Apart from the hosts, England and Sweden are the only teams out of that lot never to have won a European Championship. IT'S GONNA BE OUR YEAR.
The playoffs for the remaining four places are still to come in November. The draw is tomorrow - Portugal, Croatia, Ireland, and the Czech Republic are seeded, with Bosnia, Turkey, Montenegro, and Estonia unseeded. Even though the seeded teams are probably all praying for Estonia I don't think any of them should think they're guaranteed to get through.
In other news, Liverpool have announced they're going to lead a bid to get overseas PL television rights divided on a club-by-club basis. This will lead to the situation we have in Spain or Scotland. Fuck off, Liverpool.
