I'd imagine UEFA will be warming those balls right now in a bid to keep England and Ireland apart. As much as a match between those would be welcome, I fear the trouble that could kick off amongst the mouth breathers of both sides.

Then again, maybe they could hold the match in the shadow of a hard-ass Ukranian jail, into which anyone who starts any trouble will be instantly thrown.

It's going to be Ireland, Italy, Greece and Portgual together.

The Group of Debt.

Clearly economics isn't your strong point. All of those countries are in debt. For instance, I'd take Italy's balance of payments and standards of living over ours any day.

Anyway, get out.

I predict:

Spain
England
Portugal
France

England to go out without scoring a goal.
