expanded=yes
fixtures=yes
tiebreakers=yes

Notes on the qualified teams:
*Italy and France secured qualification to the tournament proper on 2007-11-17 following Italy's 2-1 win against Scotland, becoming the fifth and sixth teams in the whole of the qualification stage to do so.

Results

Group B fixtures were decided with a random draw conducted on Thursday March 9 2006, because fixtures could not be agreed between delegates. Ukraine were the only side unable to come to consensus with the rest of the group. [Bathgate, Stuart.
