@kfreeman looks like the US got some tough draws. What do you think?

Maybe Suarez will not to make it to the England game. Hopefully Steven Gerrard will do the patriotic thing and 'accidentally' collide with him in training...

It's not impossible....not likely, but not impossible.

Switzerland will make it to the quarter finals :>

Definitely the Group of Death, in my opinion. Germany is, well, Germany. Ghana has knocked us out of the last two WCs. Portugal is a wild card, but will be hungry to beat us after we upset them the last time we played. I'm not terribly optimistic.

Each time it's the same spiel: all finalists claim to be in a "group of death". Just read on several German news sites that Germany will definitely have it tough in their group. :O)

Back in June Germany lost against USA. The immense pressure to succeed might be their downfall - again.

I can say, with some confidence, that France and Switzerland do not consider themselves in the Group of Death. That group is far and away the weakest :)

That's why we reach at least the quarter finals :P

I feel like the USMNT can handle this group. Ghana is much less of a challenge than people are making them out to be and Im not prepared to believe we simply cant beat Germany.
