The co-host Poles were seeded in arguably in the easiest group to advance through, and has a great chance to do so. Arsenal goalie Wojciech Szczesny is a force in the pipes and has been a stand out all year for Arsenal. The Poles are spearheaded by Borussia Dortmund striker Robert Lewandowski, a player who absolutely dominated the German Bundesliga all year long. Russia is definitely a media-favorite to advance from this group, led by talented Arsenal backup striker Andrei Arshavin. Greece is the dark-horse this year to advance out of this group, a well-known spoiler. Greece won the Euro competition out of nowhere in 2004. The Czechs are backed by Chelsea goalie Petr Cech. This team is very slow and plays more like a seasoned veteran, aka very crafty. They will have to rely on Cech to counter for a poor defense and somehow have to get their counter-attack offense moving in order to score.Predictions: Russia (Group Winner), Poland (Runner-up)
