It is unusually competitive this year and yeah, I just tried to read UEFA's seeding policy for the Euros and couldn't make any sense of it. It looks like the only teams kept apart are the two host nations, Poland and Ukraine and current champions Spain. It definitely seem a bit silly that Holland and Germany are in the same group. Surely the four highest ranking European sides (right now Spain, Germany, Netherlands, Portugal) should be separated before anything else. I've never agreed with host nations being seeded. They already have home advantage.
