England have been drawn to face Wales in Group G in qualification for Euro 2012 in Poland and Ukraine.
The other teams to come out of the hat were Switzerland, Bulgaria and Montenegro and Fabio Capello believes England have one of the toughest groups, following the draw in Warsaw.
"All four opponents are really dangerous," Capello said. "Wales will be my first derby as manager of an international team. It will be interesting. They are really young but the value of the players is high.
"I prefer a smaller group because we have less games but the group is very tough.
"Switzerland qualified for the World Cup, they are one of the best teams. I remember when I played against them it was not easy to win away.
"I have big confidence in my team and I am sure we will play a fantastic qualifying tournament for 2012."
There are 14 places available for the finals from the nine groups, with the winners and the best runner-up qualifying automatically, and the other eight runners-up going into two-legged play-offs.
