World Cup 2010 Group of Death

The draw is done for South Africa 2010 and Group G looks to be the Group of Death this tournament as Brazil, Portugal and the Ivory Coast are included. Brazil is once again a favorite to win the World Cup and seeing as a European team has never won a World Cup away from Europe it would make the case even stronger. They'll have to get out of group play first as a difficult opening round awaits.

Ivory Coast is looked to be an African favorite to breakthrough and make a deep run with the talented Didier Drogba and Kolo Toure. While Portugal sports such world stars as Cristiano Ronaldo and Deco. A key to getting out of the Group of Death will be to not slipup and drop any points to North Korea while propping up the ever important goal differential for tie breaker purposes.

Group G -
Brazil, North Korea, Ivory Coast, Portugal

  2. Yes talk about a contrast in styles. It will be fun to see North Korea play at all as that is probably a team nobody has seen before.

  5. Group D should be the Group of Death, considering that ALL of the entrants (Germany, Ghana, Denmark, and Australia) are dangerous coming into the tourney.

    That said, I think both teams who I believe will make it out of Group G, Brazil and Portugal, will make it past Chile and Spain respectively.

    As for the group I believe should've been dubbed "The Group of Death", I have Germany and Australia losing to England and USA respectively.
