Except in previous years, there's been one stand-out favourite and maybe a couple of challengers.
This time, there's maybe 5 or so teams that are genuinely in with a chance and - on their day - will be hard to beat. That the number-one ranked team in the world became number-5 in a fortnight, shows how open the tournament is!
Even England's group isn't a gimme - both France & Argentina could provide an upset.
