Brazil & Croatia, Spain & Chile, Colombia & Ivory Coast, Uruguay & Italy, France & Ecuador, Argentina & Bosnia, Germany & Portugal, Belgium & Russia

Groups C, D, and E are the most interesting to me. Group C could have any of the four go through and I wouldn't be shocked. D has three quality teams and E is fairly wide open as well. Race for the top spot in Group B will be hotly contested as well. If you finish runner up in that group, most likely facing Brazil and a ticket home in the Round of 16.

Like most others, I see little prospect of England going far in this WC. The key to any further progress seems to be the game against Italy. Should England play at their very best they might surprise Italy (and us too!). So, with scant hope, but much love for the land of my birth, I'll give them the nod.

B - Spain & Netherlands
C - Colombia & Ivory Coast

E - Ecuador & France
F - Argentina & Nigeria
