A - France & Mexico
France will get their act together, and Mexico are a good team.
B - Argentina & Greece
Argentina has the quality to win the WC, and, while nobody likes Greece's style, they are very hard to beat and they score on their few chances.
C - Englang & The US
England have a good team and a good coach, and the US are better than the two other teams.
D - Germany & Serbia
Germany is the clear favorite, but Serbia beat France in their group and they have a tight defence.
E - The Netherlands & Denmark
The Netherlands won all their qualification matches and have a strong team. Denmark always qualifies for the knock out matches in WCs. Also a very open group though.
F - Italy & Paraguay
Italy wins the group and will probably face Denmark in the first knock out stage. Here they will cheat (as always) and progress even further. Paraguay is a better team than the other two.
G - Brazil & Ivory Coast
Brazil is the second best team in the world and should have no problem with Portugal and N. Korea. Portugal cannot defend and the Drog and the rest of the African powerhouse will be unstoppable.
H - Spain & Chile
Spain is the best team in the world at the moment and one of the best national teams ever. Chile is a far better team than most expect, and while Switzerland is a good team, Chile is better.
