England will advance from group play.
The US should advance from group play.
On a side note, with France being unseeded and the uproar around their handball goal against Ireland, FIFA should have put them in Group G with Brazil and Portugal.

Perfect draw for the United States.
Should we advance past group play, we will not see Brazil, Spain, the Netherlands, or Italy until atleast the semifinals.
We are looking at a potential matchup with Germany or Australia in the round of 16. Then, if we are lucky, South Africa, Mexico, Uruguay, France, Argentina, Nigeria, South Korea, or Greece in the round of 8. Wow. Great, great draw.

I have tried time and time again to get into this sport but it always puts me to sleep.
I will not knock those who are into it.

The World Cup is the only soccer i find interesting. There is more passion during those games then i see in any other sport.

I love the sport. Its beautiful.
Although I admit I have never played it, I fully understand it and follow it passionately. I go to Columbus Crew games and cheer them on from time to time. Usually costs about $60 total. That includes gas, meal, and a ticket. Last game I was handed a free ticket from a fellow Crew fan.

I have Germany beating Brazil in the final.
In all honesty having watched England a lot lately, I fully expect the US to beat them.

I like Brazil to win it...For the sole reason that I will ALWAYS pick Brazil as long as the host is not an European country.
