I would be surprised to see any goals in that first match.

I'll take:

A: Poland, Czech
B: Germany, Holland
C: Spain, Croatia
D: France, Sweden

Tried to throw in favorites with some surprises and see what I could get. I'm not high on England and Ukraine is hopeless so that left Sweden. Same thing with Croatia, Italy is in shambles and Ireland?

Holland over Poland
Spain over Sweden
Germany over Czech
France over Croatia

Spain over Holland
Germany over France

Spain over Germany

Group A, it would be stunning if Russia didn't make it out. They are clearly further ahead of everybody else in their group, and to a further extent than any other side in the tournament.

Croatia is no joke, don't feel too uncomfortable making that pick. I think Ireland has the best shot at a Cinderella run.

Group D, your guess is as good as mine.

Psyched. I always root for the Netherlands (not sure why, I just do) but in this case I wouldn't be upset if Greece did well. That country needs a win.

These opening ceremony performances are always weird. Remember Beijing Olympics with the human volcano?

Poland could have this if they keep getting looks like that... I figured Greece would do their usual 9-1 sort of scheme

That right side of the Polish attack is pretty impressive.
