This is gonna be the most interesting group in my mind.

Spain and Italy should make it through but there are some questions about both teams.

Spain has not been on top form lately and Spain-Italy always play tight games that go either way. Plus Spain tends to have issues with teams that sit back, let them pass it around the middle, and then counter.

Italy always seems to have problems with Croatia in the group stages of international tournaments so their could be some surprises their. And Ireland has recently beat Italy in a friendly.

This group to me will have some surprises amd will come down to the last day for sure. I have a feeling Italy might be the odd team out in this group, even though they have had some good form recently.
