When i first saw this group i thought boring boring, but second place should be totally up for grabs. I really have no idea who to pick for second, but i think ill go for sweden. Sweden had less than impressive results in the qualifiers, but they always manage to squeak into the next round. Greece finished top of their group, but the just lost to Hungary 3-2 which put me off. As for Russia, theyre lucky to be there, and ill think theyll finish with one pt, from a draw with greece.

It's not a given that Spain will finish first, but it's a good bet. I think Russia will finish second.

Yeah, I don't see it as a given that Spain will come first or even second in the group. Anything can happen, and if the Spanish get to cocky they could have a rude surprise. Worse upsets have happened.

Russia because of Hiddink. He might finally have instilled some heart in that gifted bunch of under-achievers. Plus, let's face it, it's Russia's year, what with the UEFA cup and Eurovision...

Sweden and Greece have not been very impressive lately and with a different coach, Russia would have been my bet for fourth place. It will be a close group, except for Spain who I expect to walk right over all the others.
