They were by far the biggest favorites in the tournament to make it to knockouts

Horrible result from a neutral perspective. Greece is really really bad. Good result for German fans. They will absolutely demolish Greece.

Yes, I do. They are not the best team in the tournament, but top 5 IMO.

They'll park the bus. I'm really starting to hate teams that play that way.

I suppose spain and germany are the only two that are above average?

England is good. Not quite top shelf, and not good enough to warrant expectations of winning, but good all the same.
