Anyway, there's usually a surprise team that makes it to the semis and they're my choice, though they're in a tough group with France and the Netherlands (plus Poland).

Pretty good Dark Horse. The thing is...and I know its strange to say, but they might actually be better without Alaba.
They focus on him too much, they key on him and they rely on him. Without him they're actually a fairly well balanced team.
