    Ya, but you have to win first place otherwise you face Brasil in round of 16.

    As I'm Chilean, i'm kinda upset we got Holland Spain. But Australia should be a W for us, and I can see us at least tying with both Holland and Spain. Take us home, Alexis Sanchez and Arturo Vidal!

    And Portugal? Well at least there's plenty of other things to do in Brazil.

    This is going to be an amazing World Cup from the open. Extremely tough group for the US but it can be done. Portugal is such a schizo team. There's payback to be had against Ghana. Germany...well I expect them to run away with the group.

    Being Dutch, we got drawn into a tough group, but not as bad as the situation for the US.
    I would be suprised if the US wins one game, one tie would be lucky.

    Australia has no chance in our group and as long as we can beat Chile, we'll be fine. Also, Spain isn't the same team that won the 2010 World Cup, but a chance of revenge came quickly.

    Agreed, pretty excited! Ghana and Portugal are beatable.

    That's an easy 9 points for us.

    USA! USA! USA!

    Not scared. Best to be a group where the next best team is a euro team. Holland will have just a tough a time with the heat as Spain will. I could see us getting first place.

    Dutch!? Good luck come June! I'm hoping you guys and Chile qualify. You're right, Spain is a lot more vulnerable nowadays with their goalkeeper in question, no puyol leadership, xavi showing signs of wearing down, no clear forward. But they're still Spain. So excited!

    And USA, i'll be rooting, although qualification is unlikely!

    England and Italy get fked, France gets handed the easiest group. What a joke, if you're the worst ranked European team, you deserve to be in Pot 2 and have tough opponents.


    We play the first match against Brazil! Woohoo, what a fantastic way to open the World Cup.

    One of the worst-case scenario draws for the USA. I expect Germany to dominate the group. Ghana has been our kryptonite, so I hope there's revenge to be had. That leaves a determined Portugal team.

    Honestly, I'm not optimistic.

    Holland beat Brazil in the last World Cup as well. It's doable, but at home it'll be tough. I'd pay good money to see a Brazil v Holland match though.
