People say Brazil's group is up there, but I think Ivory Coast won't do shit. They're trying to find a new coach, and just been struggling overall to play as a team. North Korea is a joke, that's just easy for Brazil and Portugal to pass through IMO.
What is everyone's favorite group to watch? I have to go with Group H. Of course Spain will come out victorious in that group, but the 2nd place spot is going to be very interesting I believe. Chile has a fantastic young squad with Bielsa as their coach. Honduras always goes toe-to-toe against with U.S. and Mexico, so these guys can play pretty solid. I don't know much about Switzerland, but being an European team odds are they're better than Chile and Honduras. Still though, I feel that Chile and Honduras can compete with most european teams. The other group is Group A. I'm not saying this because I'll be rooting for Mexico (also rooting for the U.S., well not win it all just root for them both to play great lol) but although France is a power house team, I think Uruguay and Mexico can hang with them. South Africa although from what I hear is a really weak team, they'll be having home field advantage (ref wise mainly) could make things interesting.

If England were to win it, they'd probably get the 'the rest of the competition was weak, some of the teams are not as good as they used to be so that was why you won it' bullshit and the country would still complain.

I know where you coming from mate but a team with the best centre forward in the world (bar maybe Torres) is gonna be dangerous. They're there on merit and did alright in 2006 as well.
thanks for making it a sticky guysworld cup is always exciting but some of the big names arent doing so well, like world champs italy, england and portugal so it makes it easier for spain and brazil. I really hope spain does good cuz they always manage to choke somehow, i would be happy to see a new winner. I really dont want brazil to win it, they already have 5 and the next world cup is in brazil so if they win this and the next then it'll be a long time before anyone catches them. as everyone knows argentina has one of the best squads but we all know maradona is smokin some good shit so they wont go far probablyitaly has good players but no chemistry yet and Lippi is a bit stubbornUSA- England will be great to watch, especially if US wins, the english will be super pissed
