I was actually with you until this. USA were/ are far better than Greece. As for the group as a whole, USA, Ghana and Portugal were roughly equal...
I still would rather have had the USA group than ours, but having the US instead of Australia makes it a more difficult group for the other teams.
Now we have all of our qualifiers, I think all home teams (group winners) are favourites but some more so than others. Most certain. Colombia -...

Dear football gods. Next time can we (Australia) please get an easier group. Three World Cups in a row with at best the 2nd worst group. And yes I...
Sweden maybe, but the others aren't that much better, if at all. Remember as well that this is Australia at the bottom of its cycle, it's turn to...
Honduras the only other real chance, but I can't see Switzerland putting on that good a performance, or Honduras that bad, they could still drop...
