The American Treble

The qualifying draw for the 2012 Euros was held this morning.  There are some interesting groups.  There aren't any groups that that seem too tricky for the top teams.  I imagine that is an intentional part of the draw so that the best teams (biggest money earners) have the best chance to go far in the tournament.  I was surprised to see the draw so early but I guess it is a long process so the time is necessary.
