I don't really like any team in this group either. My picks are Columbia and Japan. They are the two strongest sides to me. Of course, Ivory Coast and Greece are more than capable though, so anything is possible.

This is a group of death of its own kind. All teams could advance and I would be keen to follow it. I just wish Greece could do some kind of Euro2004 stuff again
But lose final to Argentina

Will you continue to watch WC after the group stage when (read carefully, not "if") Argentina is eliminated?

It was unfair the way Argentina went out in the WC2010. It was just ridiculous to see Argentina lose in 2006 on penalties. But there is not even 0.0001% chance of Argentina losing again. So there will be no such situation for me to face and my answer regarding your question is "No Comments"

I support Japan in this group just because of Honda

Colombia will go through if Falcao recovers. Ivory Coast are not as strong as in past tournaments... Drogba is aging, so does their other stars, and no youth talent to replace those.

I really hope Argentina will lose to Germany for the straight 3rd time, but I'd be happy enough to see them lose to BiH and Iran

I hope Falcao recovers in time.

OK then, I will make sure to add insult to injury when that 0.0001% probability turns into reality.
