Adding to this, Greece had no-one I (or most people) would call a world-class player in 2004, yet they beat France, the Czech Republic and Portugal (twice) on the way to winning the European championship, and this year's their first world cup finals appearance since '94.
Still, I won't be too unrealistic. In fact, I'm gonna put £20 on England getting to last 8 again with a mate later...
