I think the USA has to be the favourite. Germany which came third in the European and England should Q. England did not do very well in the European Championship but this is a different team.

USA will clearly dominate and the Germans will qualify with ruthless efficiency.
I know that the English team is pleased with the draw and they should qualify as they will beat the weaker teams well – perhaps even in second place. I expect them to struggle from that point on but you never know where confidence will take you.
The final place is probably between Turkey and Australia. I favour the colonials.
You are onside with the Oracle. He will be pleased.
