Here's another question for you all.
Which team(s) is going to be the shock departure of the first round? For example in 1998 it was Spain, and in 2002 it was Argentina and France. There's always one.

Further to the USA talk, mine is Italy - they have all this match fixing scandal swirling over them, and they also bombed out of Euro 2004 in the opening round and then blamed Denmark and Sweden for "fixing" their final game to eliminate them. Not the fact they weren't good enough to go through, by not beating one of them. They also have one of the two toughest groups.
