Skipy, my apologies for the eff-off. I use the expression as a comma, so no insult intended (well, maybe a mild one ;o)

I wish I was paid as much as top footballers, but they work a lot harder than me and their earning life is on average, I'd estimate, about a decade. Professioal sports is one of the few areas where popularity with the masses translates into fair return to the performers. Look at the millions of hangers on who can't kick a ball straight and still get rich. Look at all the poor sods writing, playing, recording music who get at best a small percentage portion of the revenue it generates. Good luck to them, I say.

I don't want to start a prediction league, but my guesses for second round would be as follows:

A Germany, Poland
B England, Sweden
C Argentina, Netherlands
D Portugal, Angola
E
F
G
