The draw has handed a few surprises to Saint-Etienne. The local fans, true advocates of attacking football, have had their wishes granted. There'll certainly be no shortage of excitement for Portugal v Iceland or England v Slovakia. I'm particularly excited to witness the fervour around Cristiano Ronaldo. Also, there is Czech Republic v Croatia, the hardest game to predict. Personally, as a former goalkeeper, I'm delighted I'll be able to watch Petr Čech, the best of the last decade.
