Group D
Croatia
Let me just address one thing, Luca Modric is a beast. His performance in the Champions League final against midfielders a lot stronger and bigger than him, proved that. Besides him in midfield will be Rakitic and Kovacic, and I am already salivating at the prospect. Impressed already? I didn’t even mention Mandzukic as the focal point in attack. Keep an eye on this space.

Spain
There is little to say about the brilliant Spanish squad, they have lifted the Euro in each of the last two occasions. The likes of Xavi and Xabi has passed the mantle to the likes of Koke and Thiago. There seems to be an absence of a big name up front, and bulk of the scoring would have to be done from the midfield. I do have a feeling that they will oblige.
Goalkeepers: Iker Casillas (Porto), David De Gea (Man United), Sergio Rico (Sevilla).
Defenders: Sergio Ramos (Real Madrid), Gerard Piqué, Jordi Alba, Marc Bartra (all Barcelona), César Azpilicueta (Chelsea), Mikel San José (Athletic Bilbao), Héctor Bellerín (Arsenal), Juanfran (Atletico Madrid).
