Germany and Spain are definitely the favorites. Belgium is the dark horse this year for sure, although they never really played any quality opponents in qualifying. It will be interesting to see how they do on the big stage. What a joke that Columbia and Switzerland are ranked in the top ten. FIFA rankings are stupid. All of the South American teams and England will underachieve like always. They all have great players, but they don't play well as a team. If the US gets grouped with one of the South American teams except Brazil and Argentina, they have a chance to win the group if they continue to play like they have been this year.
