Germany’s Loew has score to settle with Italy
Russian Federation and Slovakia were the other nations drawn in the group, but Hodgson warned a Bale-led Wales will be England’s biggest threat.

Hodgson said: “The Wales game is the one that’s going to excite the imagination”.
England boss Roy Hodgson is likely to remain in charge for the 2018 World Cup campaign, Football Association chief executive Martin Glenn has said.
Wales players Aaron Ramsey of Arsenal and Ashley Williams of Swansea City are Premier League regulars, while Gareth Bale of Real Madrid played for Southampton and Tottenham Hotspur before moving to Spain for a world record transfer fee of 85 million pounds ($129.33 million) in 2013.
“We will take time out to study opposition players so that by the time of the games we know everything about them”.
England being drawn in a group with Wales understandably dominated the headlines, with the clash between the local rivals to take place in Lens on June 16.
“So in one way, they will be looking at us and thinking the draw could have been a bit fairer for them as well”.
“You look around all the coaches here and you feel so honoured and proud to be here, representing Wales”. The last time in the Euros we bombed but I don’t see that happening this time.
“Of course, England are favourites in the group, but I think every team has a chance of making it through to the next round”.
The Republic of Ireland face a daunting task but former defender Mark Lawrenson believes it could suit them.
“We will have to be at our best from the first match”. It couldn’t get tougher – these are games to look forward for the fans but it could not be tougher for us.
GROUP E: Belgium, Italy, Republic of Ireland, Sweden.
Host France will open Euro 2016 against Romania as the draw for the 24-team tournament was made Saturday in Paris. So this June we can look forward to some entertaining fixtures, Martin O’Neill’s men will kick off the tournament on Monday, 13 June at the Stade de France in Paris against Sweden, who came through a play-off with Denmark to book their ticket to the finals.
Germany coach Joachim Loew says he wishes the world champions had drawn Italy in their Euro 2016 group, because he has a score to settle with the Azzurri. It’s a group that is hard but we were in a hard group for qualification and we won that.

“To face France in the opening match, when the whole world will be watching, is something fantastic”.
