Portugal, Spain and Morocco are all very close, and then the far away Iran.
From my super outdated knowledge of how these countries play.... let me try to predict the outcome...
Group A: Russia, Uruguay, Egypt, Saudi Arabia => Russia and Uruguay qualify
Group B: Portugal, Spain, Iran, Morocco => Portugal and Spain qualify
Group C: France, Peru, Denmark, Australia => France and Denmark qualify
Group D: Argentina, Croatia, Iceland, Nigeria => Argentina and Croatia qualify
Group E: Brazil, Switzerland, Costa Rica, Serbia => Brazil and Serbia qualify
Group F: Germany, Mexico, Sweden, South Korea => Germany and South Korea (maybe Mexico) qualify
Group G: Belgium, England, Tunisia, Panama => Belgium and England qualify
Group H: Poland, Colombia, Senegal, Japan => Poland and Japan qualify (I so want to see Tsubasa!! )
I agree that the absolute hit of this group stage is the clash of Portugal with Spain!
I'm looking forward to see this match ...
..but I think that interesting skirmishes will be much more ... France will face Denmark, Argentina with Croatia or Germany will face Mexico and Belgium with England ... cool for me ...
but honestly....I was hoping that Germany and England would be in one group
