Yeah, saw that. That will definitely be the case. Brazil's group is cake.

Yeah, when he's not hurt, he definitely is.

Mexico was pitiful in CONCACAF. I'd bet on Croatia moving on over them if Mexico's form hasn't changed by next year.

I wouldn't bet the house on USA vs. Portugal, because the 2013 rankings shown otherwise.

The rankings are little more than worthless.

C. Ronaldo would have a fair chance of beating the US with a high school team backing him up.

Never was. They are the Detroit Lions of international football

I remain unconvinced Brazil can pull off World Cup and Olympics without a hitch.

Pretty much. Even their skilled players eventually give in to the culture and suddenly they becomes a really dirty team.

Let's hope they don't bring out those goose calling trumpets that they had in South Africa in the stands. Didn't watch it last time because of that crap.
