I bet the Croats are laughing already... ;D
Personally I think England should walk their group, but then we should have walked it for Euro 08 too, and look how that turned out...
Denmark, Sweden & Portugal all in group one must make it the group of death this time. Any of the three could turn out on top.

The only way we stand a chance is if the self centered bastards get ove thenselves and start working for a living. Then we might actually see a team gel properly and ONLY then might we start getting somewhere.
