(I'm a little annoyed that Germany and Belgium look likely to be in the same quadrant of the knockout phase - Belgium might actually be better off trying to be 2nd in their group, get into quadrant 2 instead of Italy, then the semis would be Spain/Belgium/Germany/France, the actual best four teams)

Sadly Germany may not be one of the best 4 teams. I say that as a realist, they have not played German football in a year. Also Group D is a hard one to pick for 2nd/3rd. Turkey and Czech Republic aren't teams to ever count out, sadly they may lose out on points though.

I have them as 4th best, but Italy, England, or Portugal could be better. I also kind of see Poland as a dark horse, probably not deep enough but the top few guys are there.

 

As for Turkey/Czech, if they were in different groups they'd probably be 3rds with enough points to advance (a win over the 4th place side for each with the possibility of stealing a draw elsewhere) but since they're in each other's group, and Spain should get 3 wins from 3, it's probably one one other team out of that group and I have it as Croatia. If either of them can get a win over Croatia, they'll advance as the second place side and that's entirely possible for either one. I break that group down as a clear first place team, a 2 1/2 place team (Croatia is a weak 2 or a strong 3) and two 3rd place teams that can't both get 3rd and suffer from being in each other's group

does she care much for soccer? 

 

Yes, but mostly to complain how bad they are. She's from Gent, so a longtime AA Gent supporter. So was fun to see them winning their first championship a season ago :)

Yeah, luckily for me I didn't really had a favourite team in Belgium yet. Would have been weird if I supported the team she hated most :) So was happy to celebrate it with her. Shame this season was a bit worse, but we atleast got to see them advanced in the Champions League after the group stage.
