Spain will have an easy time advancing out of Group H but a potential sleeper may slow down their plans.

Group G is considered the “Group of Death” but tournament favorite Brazil looks to continue its World Cup brilliance. Portugal and Ivory Coast will battle it out for the second spot.

Group E looks to be one of the most competitive groups in the 2010 World Cup although Netherlands has a clear advantage and will advance from this group.

Group B could have a tough battle for the second place spot. South Korea and Nigeria are hoping to make it to the knockout stage along with probably Group winner Argentina.

Group A will be one of the toughest groups in the 2010 World Cup but this is the year that France falls and won’t make it to the knockout stage.

The biggest questions concerning Group C: Can the United States team do better than their dismal 2006 performance and will England overcome internal turmoil high expectations?
