      Groups B,D and G look like the toughest. In my non-expert opinion.

      Portugal has not played extremely well in qualifying, but they have CR7 who is capable of really taking things over.

        Group G has 4 teams that would all have legitimate shots at moving on if they were in other groups.

          Argentina looks to have the "easiest" route to the Semis. Bracket listing because it's a PITA to find on FIFA:

            Holy group of death. US will be lucky to get a point.

              Group B looks like the true group of death to me; Holland, Spain and Chile? I wouldn't be shocked to see any of them go through, though you have to consider Spain and the Netherlands the favorites in the group, and top seed is DEFINITELY up for grabs.

              That being said, I was definitely hoping for an easier group for Germany; they should be able to win the group but there will be no easy matches. Unfortunately, for our neighbors to the south, I see America as the weakest team in the group but see second position being an absolute dog fight. I was at the last world cup, and will be there again, and Portugal was not a strong team, but CR7 is able to make magic happen in a flash. Even Germany had moments of absolute stagnation and could drop points. Definitely a tough group, but I still see B as being even tougher.

              Anyone else heading down for the tournament?

                  Nice. Who you flying down with and where are you staying in Rio? We have tickets and put a deposit down for some beds at a hotel, but looking for better accommodation and cheaper, if possible ($1250 for a bed for 2 weeks?) and hopefully a flight for less than $1500-1700. I'll be there from opening to the round of 16 game in Rio.

                            He's fucking Messi - not only did she "go" she tossed his salad in the limo. Rag on the guy all you want, but he's one of the best of all time IMHO, and certainly the best from Argentina. Fuck Maradonna and his hand of "God."

                                Barca's 4th goal today was an amazing team goal. Nasty.

                                Messi ends up tied with Raul for the most goals in la liga match play in history, 228 goals in 263 la liga matches (it took Raul 550 games), and also breaks the record of most goals in all competitions by a la liga player with 337 in 448 matches. That's just a ridiculous rate of scoring.

                                Whoa, and a wonder goal from Neymar as I was typing.

                                Bring on City on Tuesday. Visca Barca
