I would say it is more wide open than normal. In my opinion the best and tournament favorite is Germany.

The elite teams (again IMO) are Spain, Italy, Germany, Brazil, Columbia, and Argentina.

Yea, it is a tough group no doubt. I sort of welcome it. For all the chest pounding about the advancement of soccer in the United States and its team I sort of welcome the opportunity to prove it.

USA has been talking a whole lot...and improving...they get their chance to prove that. I can't ****ing wait.

Another thought. Ghana has been this weird boogey man for us for whatever reason but having them first? Huge. If we can win that first game? We are set up pretty well staring down the barrel of the harder games.

So you're saying win-draw-loss is what's most likely for USA?

Yes, though I am not conceding a Portugal loss. We may also benefit from Germany being "in" at the time we play them.

It is interesting...obviously you can only go by this so much but when we beat them in 2002 USA was worse than they are now and Portugal better than they are now.
