WOW! Seriously i'm seeing more than one group of death! but first i wanna say that Spain is the only strong team that got an easy (and very hispanic ) group. I think that Italy can make it but they have to be very very careful against Slovakia (can't be underestimated). Except those 2, all the other groups aren't easy at all!

South Africa could get even worse, but their group is still very hard and i'm not seeing them in the knock-out phase. France will also have difficulties. Back in 2002 they also had Uruguay when they came back home earlier!

Argentina and Nigeria can make it and i hope that Greece will be fucked hard, i despise their anti-football

England and USA have to be very careful against Slovenia. Algeria? Bye bye

Group D has my vote for the biggest group of death here! All 4 teams are dangerous and Germany is not guaranteed to finish first.

Holland, Denmark and Cameroon... all 3 have equal chances of qualifying. I'm not seeing Japan in the knock-out phase. Too bad for them, i like that team!

Group G my group! Hopefully Brasil will show the communists what football is today after 44 years i'm expecting at least a 5-0! but afterwards it will be hard with Drogba & co and Cristiano & co. Tough group.

What are your opinions?!

PS: I LOVED the ceremony! Beautiful music! <3

So in the 1/4 finals and the semis Brasil has the probability to meet Germany, Australia, Serbia, Ghana, England, USA, Argentina, Nigeria, Mexico, France, Uruguay, Holland, Denmark, Cameroon, Italy, Paraguay. None of those teams are easy!!

Loving our group, pretty easy compared to the others, I cant wait!

Italian luck hasn't run out yet...

They should've draw to play Brazil and get some world-class rapping.

Italian’s quali should be rather too easy. I would have preferred a tougher one to build some self-belief foundation, though I Think many teams are underrated in this topic.

Remember that Paraguay and Chile qualified just one point behind Brazil and way in front of Argentina, that they have humiliated twice.

Slovakia might be consider as a rookie in the competition (cuz for some reason the whole world forgot that it is the other half of the great Czechoslovakia ) but they qualified brilliantly by eliminating a strong Czech team and without the need of any play-off.
Watch out for Šesták!

Remember that all sub-Saharan African teams are gonna be cheered and boosted as if they were playing on home soil.

I was satisfied by the draw, almost all group are interesting to watch.

The way the last 2 finalists are playing is quite simply scary. Italy is a team with no identity and France is a team with no composure. Don't expect much from them this year.

Ferdinand is missing and I see it as good news because honestly, Ledley King and Michael Dawson have been far better this year.

I think only Germany and Spain will be able to compete with the Brazilian Selecao. I love England and everything, but they always find a way to mess it up, and with a crocked Rooney up front, I just don't see them pull it off. As for Argentina, they are coached by a moron who prefers to use his dreams rather than actual performances to select his squad.

My quick prediction: Brazil to take it all...

I look forward to a tournament full of deafaning horn torture... and an Argentinian team with like 8 strikers in the squad and 5 defenders....

should make for an interesting tournament..

I hope Spain get raped hardcore, can't stand how everyone and their mother are suddenly Spain fans, just like i can't stand every kid and his mother is a Barcelona fan recently!!

I'm gonna be supporting Argentina though, because of Mascherano and my Argentinian Inter players!

fucking opening game can't come any soooneeeerrrrrr...

Brazil has an interesting team this year... i don't recall EVER when Brazil had such a squad... like defensively and GK one of their best if not best teams ever.. and at the same time soooo average when it comes to attacking options, compared to previous years. Still however, they will remain one of the top 2-3 favourites in my book.
