Co-hosts Austria have been written off before the tournament has even begun. They are ranked 101st in the world by FIFA and if they were not hosting the tournament would almost certainly not have qualified. Their best player is Emanuel Pogatetz a rugged defender who plays in the Premier League and the best they might have to hope for is to exit the group stage with their pride intact. Croatia are many peoples dark horses for the tournament. Slaven Bilic's side beat England twice in qualifying, and even without the injured Eduardo have some fine attacking players. Niko Kranjcar and Luka Modric form the basis of a creative midfield that will be aiming to go far during Euro 2008.
