Spain definitely has the most talent and should go through. The 2nd team is tough to call. Russia will be tough and obviously Hiddink is a great coach, but they seem to play a lot better in Russia, more so than the difference between other teams home and away (maybe I'm wrong, just from a few games I've seen). If Ibra doesn't play well I don't see Sweden doing much, as others have said. So I'm gonna go with Greece who have been playing pretty well lately and got the most points from qualifying of any team (granted, they didn't have the hardest group, but still an impressive record).

Spain and Sweden In my opinion, I think Sweden can go trough with Zlatan and Ljumberg and Spain 100% is going trough.

I think Spain will win the group. But they will be thrwon out of the tournament in quarter finals because of their bad nerves.
Sweden will finish second because of an amazing Ibrahimovic. But they will also fail in quarter final.

Tough group though, but if aragones can get these kids playing as a TEAM.... anything can happen. I pick them to be in the final. Torres is gonna play be fantastic.

I'm tempted to stick a bet on at the bookies for Torres to be top scorer of the tournment ......i walked past Ladbrokes last night and the favourites to win the tournment for them is Germany with Spain 2nd and i think it was France 3rd

Spain and Russia for me.

Russia may be a darkhorse to win it all, hopefully not in as boring a manor as Greece did 4 years ago. I really hope Greece get knocked out early, couldn't go through another tournament of sheer depressing football like they inflicted on the world 4 years ago.

This group is tough to call, other than Spain it could be any of the other 3 that go through, all pretty equal.

I don't fancy Sweden, Ibrahimovic will have to be on top of his game which may be difficult coming off the back of an injury, and they've got a few players who are past it...

Russia.... well they've got some great players, and some average ones, they can be great but they can be average, depends which turns out.

I'm not sure about Greece, haven't seen them play for a while.

Agreed, but they've got a manager who gets the best out of his players at big tournaments.
