Your work life going badly and failing your country would sure a huge factor in deciding to commiting suicide.

Failing Wales? Have you ever been to Wales Tyr? ...it's a ghastly place. Huge gangs of tough sinewy men roam the valleys terrorizing people with their close-harmony singing. You need half a pint of phlegm in your throat just to pronounce the placenames. Never ask for directions in Wales Tyr, you'll be washing spit out of your hair for a fortnight.

And their aggressive shocks of thick black hair.

They (we) can get out of the group phase. France sucks. Maybe Sweden has gotten stronger. I only follow football every 2 years.

[Josephus]

So looking at it, doesn't seem like there's a big group of death, except for maybe group B.
Group A is the group of un-death. Four mediocre teams. Any team can get out.
Group B should be Germany and Holland.
Group C should be Italy Spain
and Group D, well you never know with England but it should be England France, although both Ukriane and Sweden can beat England.

[Jacob]

Group B is going to be pretty intense for Denmark.
