Thanks for joining us for coverage of all that. Here’s a report of the draw and there will be more analysis to come.
The England manager, Gareth Southgate, speaks to the BBC:
The first two teams we’ve not played for quite a while and the third is a total unknown and throws up a possible British derby. We know what they are all about. We’ve had plenty of them. For us, we are clear what our programme is for ending the Premier League season and getting out here as soon as possible. We have to get out of the group, our first objective and we build from there.
In this situation all our thoughts are with the Ukraine and the people of Ukraine so when that tie is played out is irrelevant. It’s for the rest of us to adapt and adjust and provide them with the opportunity as and when they are able to.
We were delayed getting here, and I have not had a lot of time here. We have to build relationships to highlight any changes we would like to make. Today my focus is on the draw and working out what it all means.
When you are seeded you miss out on those big six or seven teams. The US is an interesting one, I know Gregg Berhalter well, we were smiling at the end there.
