Euro 2021: England boss Gareth Southgate revealed his excitement at facing Croatia or the Czech Republic
The UEFA dignitary who appeared on
Romanian TV and said it would be great if they qualified for Euro 2021 rather than
let the cat out of the bag. Euro 2021 fans can book England Vs Czech Republic Tickets on our website on

The dome-shaped Romeo in Bucharest,
fittingly resembling a circus tent, hosted Saturday night's draw and the city
will also host matches next summer. The good wishes of Europe's governing body
aren’t encouraging news for Iceland, drawn to play the Romanians in a play-off
semi-final in March, but does sum up this latest version of the European
Championship. An unnecessarily complex and complicated carve-up aimed to please
as many nations as possible.
Scores of delegates including Gareth Southgate and Ryan Gigs descended on the
Romanian capital on a rainy eastern European evening but there was little of
the anticipation you usually associate with a major draw. Euro 2021 fans can

Only 11 of the 36 countries
represented 20 definite qualifiers and 16 play-off hopefuls didn't have any
idea of which group they would be in. It's a result of UEFA's decision to play Euro
2020 across many cities in different countries. Even the obvious 'group of
death' containing holders Portugal, France and Germany lack normal jeopardy
given that the four best third-placed teams will also go through to the
knockout stages.
The irony is that England could be
the biggest beneficiaries of all. They already knew they'd be playing all three
of their Group D games at Wembley and Saturday's selection of Croatia, Czech
Republic, and the play-off winners out of Scotland, Israel, Norway and Serbia
won't fright Harry Kane.
Advantage for England
But this time England will have home
benefit, first counter to Croatia on June 14, 2020 match. They beat the Czechs
5-0 at Wembley in March. Southgate's only concern, being paired with France,
was averted by Ruud Gullet pulling out the Croatian ball after some acrobatics
and music from the Bucharest Symphony Orchestra which is the hallmark of a good
UEFA draw.
Gareth Southgate talk
“The two teams we see we've got
(Croatia and Czech Republic), we have decent results and poor results against
them, he said. 'It's nothing to be complacent about but everyone not in Group F
will be pleased about that.”
“Croatia at Wembley is a brilliant
opening game for the fans and the players. There is a contrast. They have
hugely experienced players throughout the team. We are the other end of the
scale. Very young, lots of energy but improving. It is a nice contrast. You
can't make up for losing a World Cup semi-final, unfortunately. We felt like
that after beating them in the Nations League. It was nice to win but it didn't
redress it. But this is a really attractive fixture.”
“In the end, we want to win every
game we play and have control of our destiny. Fortune will take you wherever it
takes you,' he said. At this stage, he is thinking of nothing but qualifying.
'You need a strategy of getting out the group. There are three games, not one.”
'England is now a fantastic team,' he
said. 'It is not easy to play the first game at Wembley. But we reached the
World Cup final so I always believe. I am optimistic. They are very potent in
attack. In the next three, four, five years, they will be on top of the
European game.'
