Damnit, I was going to make this thread but thought it was too early :P. I'll make predictions later. Accurate group selections, though Japan beating Spain seems a bit left field. Still though, anything can happen.

No disrespect to the US Football team (they are a much better team than some would lead you to believe), but there is no way in hell they are getting out of Group G.

Underdogs often spring shocks at the World Cup, 2002 is a good example, never say never.

I actually questioned that group a bit 😕 It feel like they'll edge out Portugal though. Ghana also has a pretty good team, so you're probably right. That group and group E were that hardest choices for me. I do think they would defeat Belgium though.
And in all fairness, I've never seen Costa Rica's team or Iran's team play... That I remember anyway. So they might be wildcards.

True. You are completely right! There's always a possibility. That's why football is such an amazing game, it's so dynamic.
