Think Morocco might surprise someone in this group.....their qualifying record was quite good.

Not too sure about Iran though so it will be interesting to see how they play

Very spicy group this

Has an Iberian clash happened in recent years?

2012 semis possibly the last time?

Spain to win the World Cup

Congrats to our old boy Manny Fernandes for making the Portugese squad. Seems like a lifetime ago that he scored a screamer for us against Manchester United, was that 2007?

They look screwed if Busquets gets injured. Unless I'm wrong he's their only defensive mid?

I fancy Iran here. The Persians are historically tricky customers and that movie ‘300’, (along with Trump’s recent abrogation of the nuclear deal) should provide staunch resolve/motivation toward their winning this tournament...and with Salah in such a golden moment of his football, I think the bookies are egregiously misreading this group.

Can they swap out Iran for Algeria in this group? Swerve Russia altogether and just play for 1st and 2nd on the Rock of Gibraltar.

I saw Holland vs Latvia there at the 2004 Euros. Probably the strangest ground I've been to.

Doesn't look like there was much of a crowd...
