Man Group B is just a sick azz group. I know the Germans handled the Dutch a few weeks ago, but they were playing w/o Robben and Van Persie . . . that is gonna be an epic group stage match. Portugal with Nani/Ronaldo couldn't even beat Denmark in the Qualifying, they got dealt a terrible draw being placed in the Group of Death.
The Spanish have a fairly easy route, ducking the Dutch and the Germans potentially until the Semis. They still are the horse to beat in this race, though the Germans are more youthful and extremely talented. Could definitely see that rematch from 4 years ago.
England is just overrated. Love watching Rooney play, but I think he is out the group stages anyways . . . they may not survive . . . even in that pie group they luckily got placed in. Still enjoy the passion of their fans . . . if you guys ever wanna see passioniate fans, head out to an English pub here in the States, 9 a.m. (when these matches probably will be taking place) and just observe. It is hilarious.
Can't wait until June to see this all play out.
