To get the prediction ball rolling, I fancy Spain to win it with Russia as my dark horses (i know, I know, how original).

Ireland (my team) will, unfortunately, be found out and finish bottom of a very tough group. Some members of the British press seem to be talking us up a bit as having a chance of getting through it, particularly after Italy's recent troubles on and off the pitch, but I really don't see it happening. Trap has been a very lucky manager but I'd say it's going to end here with a total of one or zero points.

I actually fancy England for a semi final spot. I think they can win a relatively easy group and will then most likely face Croatia or Italy in the knockout stages, which I think would be doable. Then I think they'll be hockied by one of the big boys
