Notes

The draw fell one team short of replicating the old British or Home International  Championship as England, Wales and Northern Ireland were put together in Group 6 while Scotland were drawn a group too early, in Group 5.  England have also met Poland and Austria frequently in the past, although they have not played Austria since a 1979 friendly.   Only Azerbaijan is a new opponent for England.
