Obviously Europe >>> all, but from those we've seen Russia will now have to play decent opponents, Denmark probably lucked out and at least one of the Balkans is bound to self destruct

Everything can happen, but I still expect Europe to go strong. Sweden and Poland are in very tricky groups, while a European team in groups with Brazil and Argentina (Croatia/Iceland, Serbia/Switzerland) getting eliminated won't be a surprise at all. Russia will make the knockouts, this way or another. Denmark did 80% of the job with the win over Peru.
In 2010 and 2014 only 6/13 Europeans made the knockouts. This year the number will most probably be (much) higher. Maybe 11/14 or at worst 10/14.
that's the point i guess. it's basically a tournament held in europe so i expect european teams to do well. i wouldn't be surprised if brazil were the only non-european team to make it to the semifinals.

Even if you're joking, that's impossible because there are 2 groups with only 1 European team, which means that at least 2 non-European teams will make the knockouts
I think you feel with the german NT like I feel with the danish one.
Its a pretty "meh" feeling. The Danish NT never really interested me much. I wish them to do well, but I dont feel that hype from them as many other danes do.

So many German flags in Russia, reminds me of the good ol´ days in 1942.
