Euro Draw - Ipswich Town News

The European Championship qualifying draw has given some of Town's European internationals a relatively easy draw while giving others a stiff test.

With England facing Turkey, Slovakia, Macedonia and Liechtenstein, most Town supporters will hope for an easy passge for Sven's boys.

Matt Holland's Irish face Russia, Switzerland, Georgia and Albania in a group they must see as winnable.

Matteo Sereni has hopes of getting into the frame for Italy. If he makes it in time then he can look at facing Yugoslavia, Finland, Wales and Azerbaijan.

Hermann Hreidarsson's Iceland will visit Scotland in their group, a chance perhaps for Town supporters to take a look at him in international action. They also face Germany, Lithuania and the Faroe Islands.

Amir Karic and Slovenia face France, Israel, Cyprus and Malta in a group they will be hard-pushed to do well in.

Thomas Gaardsøe is hopeful of making the full Danish squad for their games against Rumania, Norway, Boznia-Herzogovina and Luxembourg.

Martijn Reuser has one Dutch international cap and will hope to be involved when they face the Czech Republic, Austria, Belarus and Moldova.

Jim Magilton's Northern Irish face Spain, the Ukraine, Greece and Armenia. Magilton could be facing Pablo Couñago if he progresses from the U21s.
