Going as far as Robert Lewandowski can carry them.

I'm Italian, Portuguese and Polish. So I feel I can hop on this band wagon.

Poland, marginally the second favorite in Group H with a 55 percent chance of finishing first or second, is even more reliant on its star player, Lewandowski.1 In qualifying, the towering striker was Poland's top shot taker and goal scorer, and he also created the most Opta-defined "big chances" for his teammates. With 16 goals, he scored more than any other player in European qualifying, either scoring or assisting on 61 percent of Poland's goals.

Dude needs to call up LeBron for some pointers on dragging a bunch of scrubs deep into the playoffs.

I'd love that but Germany...Spain (even with firing their head-coach yesterday)...and Brazil have to be favorites.

Argentina has an awful squad. They have bunch of great attacking players but poor mid-field and defense is average at best.

I actually think The Saudis are playing better than the Russians. Even though they are down two goals.
