England will face Wales in their Euro 2016 group next summer in France.
Welsh boss Chris Coleman had hoped Gareth Bale and Co. would not have to face England in the group stages – but the tie was second out of the hat and will take place on June 16 in Lens.
England, who were only the fifth team ever to qualify with a 100% record, have never been beaten by Wales in a competitive fixture – but the Welsh, who will appear in their first major finals since 1958, will be hoping to end the hoodoo in France next summer.
England will also face a opener against Russia on June 11 before a final match against Slovakia on June 20.
Northern Ireland were handed a really tough draw in Group C alongside world champions Germany, Poland and the Ukraine. European tournament bows don’t come much harder than that.
The draw wasn’t much kinder to Martin O’Neill’s Republic of Ireland side. They just have to get past the ‘world’s best team’ Belgium, Italy and Sweden.
Scotland will face… a miserable summer at home.
