Brazil however isn't that lucky, they drew the group of death along with Portugal, Ivory Coast, and North Korea...it should be a lot harder for brazil progress. You never know, they might not pass the group stage.

They actually labeled group D as the group of death with Germany, Serbia, Ghana, and Australia....The reason Brazils isnt is because North Korea is a joke.

[phelan]

i'm looking forward to group e. i love the netherlands team (well...okay, i love certain personnel on that team), but i'm still partial to the japanese team.

never mind that the blue samurai won't do sh*t this world cup, but oh well.

so i guess i care about...group c, group d and group e, lol.

Oh wow that's true, when I watched the draw the analysts were calling brazil's the group of death. But I guess after some thinking they changed their minds haha

ya if it weren't for North Korea it'd def be the group of death. Either way that group is going to be very fun to watch

[wishihadnav]

only way n korea will win if they drop a nuk on brazil..haha

They will always be heavy favorites in any world cup. But if the Ivory Coast can draw against them and get a win against portugal or vice versa anything can happen. And the ivory coast is one team that can beat any team in the world if playing well.

Plus it is on African soil

I'm a fan- I wish Sweden would have made it, but very glad the US is in

Nope, apparently it's the most popular sport around the world. It is estimated that 2.8 billion people around the world will watch the world cup.

And then I guess occasionally teenage girls watch it

Yeah there are teams on Brazils level. Germany is, Spain is, there are teams on their level. If you're talkin about the teams in Brazils group than no.

US will advance. If they beat England they will deff be 1st in the group. I think it may be a draw though. Either way US will make it through.

I didnt mean it literally, Portugal is on their level and in their group. Like I said before it's possible that the Ivory Coast can beat them as well.
