To be honest, it doesn't look like there is a 'group of death'. Maybe one or two strong teams in a group, but that's about it. Group B and D look interesting.
Brazil has it easy, Argentina's group is the closest to the group of death but like Dara said no clear group of death
I could see Iceland winning that group with Argentina. I agree that Brazil has it easy, but Costa Rica could bite them, and they have no fear. Coverage in the US will be on Mexico, who are in with Germany... I just don't see Mexico coming out of that group. In all, a big CONCACAF fail, and with no USA or Italy, low ratings in the US.
Gut feel... Germany wins it all, again. If Argentina can come out of its funk, they might contend. Ronaldo will put Portugal on his back, but it won't be enough.
Brasil is playing too well so i see the final as Brasil vs Germany!!!Dark horse is France and Argentina!!
Germany will probably win this again, but I'd like to see a Germany-Argentina final, but I don't think that will happen as they probably will be on the same side of the knockoff brackets. Fox Sports is pushing Mexico hard, as the USMNT is not in this, but I still can't back them... mostly due to their fans and that silly thing they do with goal kicks. I want to see Iceland go deep as well.
Germany is strong, I see either a Germany vs Brazil Final or a Argentina vs France!! Also looking for this world cups cinderella Team...In Brazil it was Costa Rica and In Russia I see an African country surprising a lot of people!!
OMG. Ronaldo gets a hat trick and pulls Portugal into a tie with Spain at 87'. Amazing free kick goal just outside the penalty box... bend it like Ronaldo lol.
