If Shevvy is missing then I think Ukraine will struggle. But if he is fit I could see them reaching the Q Finals no bother.
Serbia is a good shout, the group stage is a nightmare for them but their defence is solid and doesn't leak many goals. I can see Holland getting frustrated when they do meet and getting countered.
Everyteam has a chance of winning in reality but you have to ask yourself who would you put your hand in your pocket and back.
I think Spain at 14-1 are a great bet.
Also,Holland have an excellent young squad and with Van Nistilrooy I reckon they have a good chance.Van Basten knows what he's about.The Dutch usaully have a bust up or arguement prior to big tournaments.Van Basten knows of this and picked a young squad,with a lot of players who have points to prove and will be unknown by most opponents.They are more like a club team and their egos wont get in the way of team spirt,unlike teams such as Italy.
Czech Republic or Japan
The Czechs have an aging team and this world cup came a year too late for them.
Whatever about the World Cup I hope you are right come October. Somehow I have my doubts though. Still a class act.Quote:
