Always going to be the way with the joint hosts thing and Greece (albeit, holders) all seeded.
Nothing particularly mouth-watering outside of Group C, Spain get Sweden again and Romania and the Dutch that just qualified together. </BLOCKQUOTE>
italy and france also just qualified together, that group is weird, all four teams came from 2 groups. </BLOCKQUOTE>
Forgot about Italy and France being in the same group as well. Crotia should get through that group and then someone will snap up Bilic and England will play Croats with a new manager and they'll someone new in as well

And as usual you haven't got a clue.
Czech and Croatia not big? Get a grip.
Sweden/Russia/Greece I can agree with not being "big" names but they are still in the top 25 in the world, just as Turkey and Poland. Actually all teams bar the hosts are in the top 25 in the world (well according to the not so great FIFA ranking at least.

Czechs and Croatia big?
When it comes to being big teams, they are way below Portugal, Germany, Holland, Netherlands, Italy, France and Spain (and England too, if they had qualified for the tournament).
They are 2nd tier teams, regardless of FIFA's ranking (which nobody takes seriously anyway).

So clearly just believing he hype rather than facts.
Croatia clearly bigger than england both in FIFA ranking, in actual play (beat them home and away) and they also actually have a WC medal in the last 30 years.
England has a great league but their national team is waay worse, don't confuse them.
