Scotland must have been bad not to qualify for this.....

How do you qualify from a group?
Good news - more teams progress from the group stages than go out.

As the tournament has expanded to 24 countries for the first time, there is now the need for a last-16 stage.
Finishing first or second in a group guarantees progress, but there will also be room for the four sides who finish third with the best points tallies.
That means only eight out of 24 teams will be eliminated at the group stage.
The group no team wants to be in
A major tournament would not be a major tournament without one.
As one team comes from each pot, it is possible world champions Germany could be joined by Italy, Poland and Wales, the highest-ranked side in Pot 4.
England
The only side with a 100% record in qualifying, England scored 31 goals, a tally only bettered by Poland's 33.
The reward is a spot in Pot 1 alongside defending champions Spain, Germany, Portugal and the world's top-ranked side, Belgium.
That means England cannot be drawn against any of those nations, or hosts France.
There is a 50% chance they will be drawn with Wales, Northern Ireland or Republic of Ireland.
Best-case draw: Switzerland, Slovakia, Albania.
Worst-case draw: Italy, Poland, Wales.
