| I predict Russia and Czech Republic to advance from Group A, along with Germany and Netherlands from Group B, Spain and Croatia from Group C, and France and England from Group D. It's absolutely crazy how much talent is concentrated in Groups B and C. In those two groups, only Ireland rank lower than 11th worldwide! No matter what happens, three giants are going down in the group stage. But I think Germany will prevail in their group and the tournament as a whole. |
