But it's a good challenge, and should offer a great glimpse to where we are placed in the world. If we get past Ghana, our chances go way up. Portugal is good, but maybe their not that good without Ronaldo. Germany should win the group easily.
The only other team I feel bad for is Australia, and it's hard for me to feel bad for them. But it's the World Cup. Might as well play the best right away and see where you stand.
