I know that USA (13) drew a crappy group that includes Portugal (4) and Germany (2). They're toast I'm afraid.

I follow England and they will fair well in the group rounds I think. I wouldn't count Germany out, they are a powerhouse this year.

Who do you follow 8track and who's your outset prediction for a winner?

I catch most of the games at my local shpo, it becomes World Cup central every 4 years.

My money is on Argentina. Taking time off to watch Netherlands v. Spain tomorrow.

England has a tough road out. They are in a mini-group of death. Costa Rica is the only team who's fate is sealed.

I'll be pulling for my heritage; Belgium & Germany.

Go USA!!! They'll be lucky to get out of their group, but if they do, they've got a chance in the 2nd round against winner/runner-up of group H, Belgium and Russia.

There's still time for soccer fans watching the World Cup to make it more interesting by getting into muhren's World Cup 2014 pool on the trades board. Put up a friendly premium fiver and then make your first round picks before 1pm EST.

I will be rooting my azz off for USA but that group is probably the toughest group they could have drawn. If they can beat Ghana which Ghana has owned us they still have Portugal and Germany. Imo things would have to go perfect in order for USA to advance. Then again Brazil and Croatia are 1-1 55 minutes in so what do I know.

I have watched several balls clearly go out on Brazil and yet Brazil just grabs it and throws it in immediately. That was another questionable call there that could have been a Croatia goal.

8 I'm with you. They've let things go but call that one in the box? Bad taste.

Ummmm....he is Japanese... terrible call though. From his vantage point upfield, he probably saw the Croatian standing behind and with his hand on the Brazilian's shoulder and then the Brazilian falling down.

The commentator, Ian Darke, was so outraged he forgot how to speak English, and was barely understandable in the moments after the whistle.

Several other Brazilians were flopping and grabbing their ankles and feet after minimal or no contact. Thought FIFA cleaned up flopping in the World Cup after Korea...refs will have to start issuing yellow cards like they did in South Africa.

Refs are probably afraid of the potential amped up intensity of the riots if Brazil would lose the first game.

LOL, I actually like Bacalao.

Isn't one of the Cuban brands actually made in Spain or was made in Spain?
