    I expect Russia to walk this group. Who will get 2nd place is anyone's guess.

    Russia will be favourites but I think the only certainty in this group is Czech Republic finishing bottom.

    Greece and Poland are both capable of beating Russia. I think Poland will do it with home advantage.

    Its a tight Group though. You could easily get something mad like Czechs beating Russia, although the Czechs are an average team they are still quite hard to beat.

    I've said Russia but the first game will be a tough one for them and then they have the host nation in the second.

    I reckon Poland might have a chance to top the group.

    Czechs: Not impressed by them but could get 2nd
    Poland: Again same as the Czechs could get 2nd

    Poland, think they will beat russia. The amount of hatred the Poles have for Russians is unreal, the Russians will fear for their lives walking onto that pitch.

    Poland usually disappoint at the tournament stage so it will be interesting to see if home advantage makes any difference to them.

    I am tipping Russia to win the group.
