Spain always chokes in the end...
Greece has disqualified Spain and Russia in the previous Euro,
thats pretty odd they all gathered up again! Russia managed to beat Greece then,
because Greece feels well only when they are the underdogs, who ever underestimates Otto's champions will have to pay! And the new batch of attackers is definitely better than the one that finally won the competition and more impressive to watch...
Sweeden has Ibra, but no longer have any other scandinavian team to help them.
It is a tough group, IMO everything can happen, Russia has the less chances to qualify, but its not impossible, i foresee many draws and very few points gathered.
Big teams can be impressive, efficient or impressive and efficient, at the same time. Medium and smaller teams cant do that, the only way for them to excel would be, by being as much efficient as possible, who can blame them for that?
Same goes for Italy, if you are a big team, you have to prove it on the field, every time...a tittle is not enough to let you through to the next stages,
on the contrary, everybody want a piece of the champion...
