russia has an easy group
i think it will qualify from the first place (unless they go to a nightclub and get wasted with teenage hookers like they did before the deciding game against slovenia in 2010

) czech republic will come second most likely, even though personally i would like to see poland finsih 2nd (they have some cool players: lewandowski, blaszczykowski, obraniak)
i think russia can make it to the semis again - i hope so haha, they always seem to lack motivation, lazy bastards
a lot of those guys who were playing in premier league went back (arshavin on a loan, pavlyuchenko, and billyaletdinov - btw today i read he is not even going to be a part of euro team - sucks for him - should have stayed in everton imo)
i agree with adi: spain and germany have the biggest chances of winning it
i am wondering how england will be playing without capello
