Well? Slovenia could surprise us, Yugoslavia have looked strong, Spain have some of the world's greatest players, and Norway can stop any side on their day. Here is my preditciton -

Norway 2-1 Slovenia

Slovenia come out fighting. Zahovic scores a spectacular goal from 30 yards out. BUT, Norway fight back. Stopping the Slovenians play they fight their way forward. Solksjaer battles into the area and takes the ball round the keeper to equalise. In the second half, the Slovenians are against the wall. They stop the Norweigans until a brilliant run by Flo towards the area, the Keeper is chipped and GOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLL!

Spain 2-3 Yugoslavia

A shock as the Spanish defence slip up and let Milosevic open the scoring on 3 minutes. Spain dust themselves down and come out fighting, Raul netting from an impressive free kick. Things go from bad to worse for the Yugoslavs as a defensive mix-up allows Mendieta through to chip the keeper. 2-1 at half time. After the break, though, the Yugoslavs show the same spirit that was evident versus Slovenia. The game turns into an end to end punting match as the teams tear through nervous defences. Only the keepers are keeping the scores at 2-1 now. Ten minutes left, and a safe cross from a Yugoslav full back takes a wicked deflection. Canizares stares on in horror as it flies in off a defender - 2-2 with eight minutes left. Both teams rush forward in waves... a draw will do for Yugoslavia, but not for Spain... but the Spanish defence is lacking and MIlosevic has made a great run... and with a super shot condemns Spain to elimination...

I wish that these matches happened, would make for damn good entertainment for the neutral!
