Can they think?

Sports journalists (oxymoron again) carry out their usual efficient and intelligent job of explaining the draw for Euro 2008. Here is The Herald's contribution:

"It is possible that, because each country is seeded differently, all four home nations could be picked in the same qualifying group.
England are in the top tier of teams alongside holders, Greece. Scotland have been seeded in the fourth tier, Wales in the fifth and Northern Ireland in the sixth.
The Republic of Ireland are among the fourth seeds, meaning they cannot be drawn in the same group as Scotland, but could face England.
Seedings are based on qualifying records for Euro 2004 and this summer's World Cup. Hosts Switzerland and Austria qualify automatically.
The remaining 50 teams will be split into six groups of seven and one of eight, with the winners and runners-up qualifying."

And these reporters get paid?
