    F could be tough if Sweden get through.

    Literally one semi interesting group.

    Shambles of a tournament.

    Groups C, F, I and J look pretty tasty to me.

    Germany and Belgium won't break a sweat in those three group games.

    Edit: Maybe Egypt might give Belgium a game.

    Who knows? Saudi Arabia beat Argentina last time. I think it will be lot better than people think. There's plenty of tasty looking games despite the amount of teams.

    Even if we mess up and finish second, we'll still only run into the runner-up of K. We're not one of the groups where the runner-up will face a group winner.

    Win the group - possible KO path: Random 3rd place team; Denmark, Brazil, Argentina, Spain
    Runner-up - possible KO path: Colombia, Spain, Belgium, France, Argentina

    The odds of Mexico - South Africa being the opening game again with the host swapped must have been low...

    Algeria could shock Argentina. Austria won't be an easy game either. I mean come on, some games you can easily skip.

    Don't see any pot one teams falling at the first hurdle. Canada maybe.

    Well I certainly won't be watching the 2am game every day for 2-3 weeks <laugh>

    There's interesting matchups but my real problem is the lack of jeopardy in it for the big nations.

    They'll be fine imo. Especially at home.

    Think they'll win their group regardless of who comes through play off
