Great Britain's men's team have been drawn in a tough group, including holders Spain, for August's European Championship in Lithuania.

Coach Chris Finch's team also play the hosts and World Championship finalists Turkey as well as Poland.

Spain and Turkey are the top two seeds in Group A and the addition of Lithuania makes the draw especially daunting for GB's hopes.

"Spain are very beatable - I don't care what anybody says, they're not the same Spain team had a couple of years ago," said GB captain Andrew Sullivan.

The GB captain has no anxieties about starting the GB campaign in Panevezys against the hosts

"If you're going to play in a group in a place like Lithuania you want to be playing them first - because if you beat them you're dealing a hammer blow to all the other teams," said Sullivan.

Tough draw for GB and Lithuania is no easy place to go, but I think we can give a good account of ourselves. Where do you guys see our weak points?
