Poland
Russia
Greece
Czech Republic

Group B:
Netherlands
Denmark
Portugal
Germany

Group C:

The fuck, Group A? And yes, Group B is intense​. Two of those teams (Netherlands, Germany) are what I would consider top-5 in the world, and of course Portugal and Denmark are no slouches either.

Seriously. When Russia was announced, all 4 of those countries in Group A erupted in applause. I think all 4 expected to be bounced and now all 4 see a chance to advance. Maybe Poland saw a chance, since they were automatically in Pot A, but still.

Another sleeper group is Group D. England is talking as if its won, and I think they are the favorites. But France is France and can get it together in the next 6 months easily. They are starting to play better, especially individually at the respective clubs. Sweeden has Zlatan Ibra and a solid club. They can throw a wrench into things, as can Ukriane with the homefield advantage.

Group C is no slouch group either. Italy beat Spain this past summer, and Ireland is a better tough team. WTF is up with Group A? SMH. Sorry, but host teams should not get automatic seeds. UEFA is paving a road for Ukraine and Poland to succeed as hosts.

Germany should still get through, but I liked all 3 of those teams, and had Denmark as a sleeper (if they had gotten like a Group A/C draw). They got no shot now. Portugal is the weak link behind the Germans and Dutch, but Cristiano is still Cristiano and Nani is playing really well. In fact, a lot of the Portuguese players are playing extremely well for their clubs right now.

they definitely do now...but can't deny they produced one of the most exciting runs back in euro 2008. This one is technically not a gingerfail, as they do suck, but close

Would have been better run if they were able to get past Germany in the Semis.
