So basically they have to beat the diving, ref paying, cheap shot artist, cheating Ghana then upset Portugal or Germany, Germany being a huge major upset. That is a tough group, yikes.

Would beating Portugal be considered an upset?

Portugal has Cristiano Ronaldo (just to name one guy on a superb squad). So...yes.
I was looking yesterday at our back line from 2010 and our back line this year, and I couldn't believe just how awful it was. When your best defender is Carlos Bocanegra, (and you have Jonathan "Slowest Man in the World" Bornstein) you're in a lot of trouble... At least we've got a serviceable back line now. Besler has been sharp, Beasley has made a good transition from midfield, and Cameron/Johnson and Chandler making a comeback from injury would be excellent. Glad to see Timmy made the 30 man. |

Groups A and D look pretty tough as well, but some of them look light. Not sure how those things are decided but looks a bit rigged.
