Well, okay, are they dark horses?

I don't know.

Are they a little bit not as light as other horses?

Probably.

But there is a really wonderful dynamic and momentum behind them right now.

And I think they're more balanced and more complete that perhaps they're given credit for or not given credit for.

I wouldn't be surprised if there were a couple of very strange results in that group, to be honest.

I think it looks like Argentina and three others, but I think it's a bit more unpredictable than that.

I'm really quite curious to see what this Algerian team is going to do with Petkovic, who is somebody who talked about big tournament experience, he's got it.

You look at some of that Algerian squad,

and still captain Barry at Mahrez, by the way, there are some absolutely terrific players.

And I mean absolutely terrific players.

And I really don't know what exactly to expect of them.

For me, they're a bit of an unknown quantity.

And also I look at this Jordanian team and I know everybody's going to laugh at them, but have a look at what they did at the end of last year in the Arab Cup.

They were absolutely fantastic.

They were only beaten in extra time by Morocco after beating Saudi Arabia and Egypt, who are two powerhouses.

They had a fantastic tournament.

That was just a few months ago.

And we don't know those players.
