after hours of examination I'm going with Group D as the toughest group. Germany, Australia and Ghana all made it thru to the knockout stages last time around while Serbia crushed a good France team in their qualifying group. i like Serbia and Germany to advance but would not be surprised if any of these teams made it thru then advanced past the Group C winners (hopefully USA & England) in the round of 16.
the next toughest group would be what most are calling the group of death, Group G: Brazil, Portugal, Ivory Coast and Kim Jung Il. in Germany 2006 Ivory Coast was also given a terrible draw having to get out of a group with Holland, Argentina and Serbia. This time around it's a little easier as no one expects N Korea to muster even a draw in their 3 matches. So it comes down to one game pour Didier Drogba et 'Les Elephants' against the 2008 FIFA world player of the year, the greasy one (Christiano Ronaldo), and his fellow Portuguese. this the first game of the Cup for both these teams taking place on Monday the 15th of June
only 181 days until S Aftrica kicks it off against Mejico on Friday the 12th of June.
