Croatia
Germany
Poland

Italy
Romania
France

In every tournament there is a “Group of Death” and three doesn’t go into two with one of France, Italy and the Netherlands missing out. Euro2008 Soccer betting can be thrown into disarray here with Romania more than capable of causing a big upset in this group.

Group D

Sweden
Spain
Russia

This is another tough group for sports bettors with Greece the defending champion, Spain the perennial underachievers and Russia an impressive qualifier who will no doubt be confident after St Petersburg won the Uefa Cup eliminating Bayern Munich in the semi-final before defeating Glasgow Rangers in the final.
