Three European giants of football and one of the continent’s form teams are all drawn in the same pool. Forming the inevitable group of death. Inevitable because it seems at every tournament some bizarre force results in four mighty teams being drawn together.
For the two qualifying teams, life will not get any easier as they will probably draw either Spain or Russia. Italy’s 1-0 loss in a friendly against Spain highlights how formidable the underperforming Iberians really are.
I’d fancy the chances of whoever survives this group to go and win the tournament outright.
