Germany will be good hosts - Clarke

Steve Clarke has backed Germany to host a great tournament next summer.

The Scotland manager said: "I'm sure they'll handle the Tartan Army and they better be ready for a lot of Scotsmen coming!

"It's great to be involved and hopefully everyone can have a great time next summer."

England's "soft" group

Chris Sutton believe England's Euro 2024 group is "soft".

The Three Lions will face Denmark, Serbia and Slovenia in Germany.

Sutton said: "I don't think Denmark are as strong as they once were, everybody fancied them at the World Cup and they had a poor World Cup. They huffed and puffed through their qualifying campaign and didn't have it easy.

"There are some names we're familiar with, Rasmus Hojlund at Manchester United, Kasper Schmeichel. They'll be well organised but you suspect England will have too much for them.

"Serbia is an interesting one; Dusan Vlahovic, Luka Jovic and Dusan Tadic, players who we are familiar with, that won't be easy but you'd say it's a pretty soft group for England."

Clarke excited for opening match

Scotland will be involved in the Euro 2024 curtain raiser!

They'll take on Germany in the tournament's opening match in Munich on June 14:

Scotland boss Steve Clarke said: "It's good, you know what you're up against. Nice to open the tournament, nice to be involved in that first game and hopefully we can set the tournament off with a good match.

"We've got to make sure it's not about the occasion and it's about the match. We look forward to it, it's an exciting draw. I don't think it mattered who we were going to get, it was always going to be exciting for us.

"Nice to be involved in the draw process and looking forward to next summer now."

Southgate happy with draw

Gareth Southgate has said: "You can look at it on paper but the games aren't played on paper.

"There are some teams that you are glad to avoid in Pot 3 and Pot 4 but all of the teams that we play are more than capable."

Page reaction

Here's what Wales boss Rob Page had to say about potentially facing France, Austria and the Netherlands at Euro 2024.

He said: "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.

Wales still need to qualify for the tournament via the play-offs.

Page added: "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."

Euro 2024 draw sabotaged

BBC's live coverage of the Euro 2024 draw was marred as sex noises were played loudly on air as the draw took place.

The draw, taking place in Hamburg, was drawing to an end before viewers noticed explicit noises in the background of the coverage.

Unsurprisingly, those who could hear the noise quickly took to social media to express confusion and laughter in equal measure.

One fan wrote on X: "Did I just hear that random, let's say 'an excited woman' on the BBC euro draw coverage? Or am I going mad!"

Another added: "Whoever is playing those sex noises at the euro 2024 live draw on BBC is a legend."

Their setiment was echoed by another viewer who wrote: "Wow some porn sounds in the back of the BBC euro 2024 draw coverage."

Shearer's reaction

Alan Shearer believes Gareth Southgate will be happy with England's Euro 2024 draw.

The Three Lions will face Serbia, Denmark and Slovenia in Group C.

Shearer told BBC Two: "I don't think England can complain with that group, I think it's pretty favourable when you look at some of the teams that have been drawn out against each other so I think Gareth will be extremely happy."
