...but not an impossible one. It's high time they turned it around against Ghana, and Portugal is more vulnerable than some seem to think. Germany? Well...um...yeah. If the US gets even a draw against Die Mannschaft, it'll be a big upset.

Group B is a nasty one, too. First game will be a rematch of the 2010 Finals!

Argentina and Colombia have relatively easy paths. So does Brazil, with El Tri in such disarray.

Now the waiting begins!
