Spain coach Vicente del Bosque is content with the draw his side had been given in the qualifying group for the 2012 European Championships.

Spain, the defending champion following its success in 2008, will play the Czech Republic, Scotland, Lithuania and Liechtenstein for a place in the finals, to be played in Poland and the Ukraine.

The Spanish side looks to be the strongest team in the group, but Del Bosque preferred to be cautious when asked about the opposition.

"It's true that none of our rivals will play in the World Cup finals this summer, but we can't be too confident. The way things are these days, there are no differences between sides. Liechtenstein looks to be the weakest team in the group, but we will have to be very careful with the other rivals," commented Del Bosque.

The qualifying campaign kicks off in September and the Spain coach said that for the moment he was not looking further ahead than June's World Cup finals.

"First of all we have to think about the World Cup and only when that is over will we start to prepare for the job we have to do in September," he said.
