What teams can surprise? Let's discuss those too.
I give Croatia a good chance to win Spain's group. They're not incredibly good, but they have some talented players who can make the difference. E.g. Modric, Mandzukic, Rakitic and even Srna. + Belgium played them during the world cup qualifiers and I can say that Croatia play as a very compact team that will definitely get a few good chances to score, regardless of opponent.
Wales were in the same world cup qualification group and they were the only team that managed to beat Belgium. Wales were also in Belgium's group for the Euro 2016 campaign and they ended with 21/30, just 2 points below Belgium that was I think + they beat Belgium again. In other words, I have seen them play many times and Wales are definitely underrated. It's not just Bale. They have a strong defence, which makes up for the fact that they don't score much. I expect many 0-1, 2-1, 0-0 score lines etc, and yes, I do give them a chance to beat England.
Austria surprised in the Euro qualification group with 28/30. Their group is not super difficult, so I definitely see them go through to the next round, and depending on their next opponents, maybe further.
