we'll definitely have a better idea by saturday night with some tasty games coming up over the next few days including the czech-portugal match this afternoon, tomorrow's croatia-germany clash and then friday evening's holland-france game (i'm assuming both france & croatia can't be as unadventurous second time out of course)

and if italy do finish runners up i wouldn't bet against them knocking spain out in the quarters...
