Great teams and great players! The EURO 2016 draw gifted us the holders, Spain, as well as the current No1 team in the world according to the FIFA rankings in Belgium. Then there's Zlatan Ibrahimović's Sweden and Robert Lewandowski's Poland, who both fared well in qualifying. There's some nice games in store!
