The draw for the Euro 2012 has been announced, and Italy have been drawn with Serbia, Northern Ireland, Slovenia, Estonia and Faroe Islands in Group C.

There is no clear-cut ‘group of death’ in the qualifiers, but as is always the case in a draw some groups are relatively tougher than others.

In comparison with some of the other heavyweights of Europe, the Azzurri have been handed a tough draw as they would have wanted to avoid playing Serbia in the qualification.

However, la Nazionale are still the favourites to make it out of the group to book a place in the latest edition of the battle for supremacy in Europe.
