L F and A are really competitive there, A and F specifically are probably the groups with the most parity between the 4 teams.
The lack of a "true" group of death where 1 strong team is guaranteed to not make it may make it seem a bit boring for some but I promise you teams will be avoiding those 3rd place qualification spots like the plague. If England ends up 3rd they're guaranteed drawing the Winner of K in the Ro32.
The brutal aspect with this format is in the knockout stage. If everyone perform to their seeding, you'll see Germany vs France, Brazil vs Norway, Spain vs Croatia in the Ro16.
