Ireland 10/1 to beat Italy.
Croatia 7/1 to beat Spain.
Higher than I would have expected.

Ireland 11/1 in a few spots, fair price would probably be 20"s

Cant belive it doesnt go on GD. Russian have +2 on greece but because greece beat them they are through. Is this the first time its been done on head to head?

Its always been "Head to Head" as the first tie-breaker in international comps for as long as I can remember.
The funny thing is, if poland/CR had been a draw, there would have been a 3 way tie with the "Head to Heads" cancelling each other out and Russia winning the group!!!
Go figure?

Didnt they change it after the shambolic performance by West Germany and Austria playing out a 0-0 draw. Which is also the reason why all last group games kick off together?

This game was 100% the reason all final group games kick off at the same time. You may also be right about the tie breaker thing as well. I did say "as far as I can remember" - I"m not THAT old!!!

Surprising it"s not better known in England as it was the reason that England were ranked above Israel as recently as the last Euros in 2008 (though they did have a better Goal Diff as well, so the actual reason for the ranking prob didn"t register with the public).
