Thoughts:

Group 1: 3 competitive teams in this. Will likely come down to who does better in the battle of Scandy to see who gets 2nd.

Group 2: I expect this to be real, real close between the top 3 seeds who are almost equal in quality. Good chance for Israel to make it to the WC.

Group 3: Czech's shoudl win this one easy. Next 3 competing for P2.

Group 4: See group 3

Group 5: Gonna be a tough Spain/Turkey battle for 1st. Belgium will do real good to get 2nd.

Group 6: Bulldozer! As good a group as England could have hoped for. 3 absolute turkeys......... Ukraine and Croatia are both good sides tho so it's gonna be 2 easy. 3 way battle here.

Group 7: I fancy Serbia to grab 2nd.

Group 8: Should be Italy then ROI

Group 9: Good group. Looks like Scotland/Norway battle for 2nd,but Holland are no sure thing.
