agreed
Austria has no chance whatsoever so it has to be Switzerland. They proved strong over recent years and this group is much tighter than we all seem to think. Turkey are no mugs and always a threat. Portugal has clearly the strongest team, especially up front. Czechs on the other hand are terrible and has been since nedved is gone. If you're looking for upsets this group looks the best. Portugal should get 4 points easily so they're qualified already
, but the rest is wide open. No result here will be surprising. The table according to teams' strength should look like this imho:
1. Portugal
2. Switzerland
3. Czechs & Turkey
