World Cup 2010: Group A
A group of hosts, past and present. Next year’s home team, South Africa will kick off their campaign against 2-time hosts Mexico and France, as well as Uruguay, home of the first World Cup in 1930.
World Cup 2010: Group B
Diego Maradona’s Argentina will be the clear favorites to progress from Group B, but second place could be a dogfight between three very solid teams – South Korea, Nigeria and Greece.
World Cup 2010: Group C
All the focus in Group C will be on the opening match between England and USA. American fans will be hoping for a repeat of their famous 1-0 victory at the 1950 World Cup. Both sides will be confident of overcoming Algeria and Slovenia.
World Cup 2010: Group D
One of the strongest groups on paper – featuring powerhouses Michael Ballack, Michael Essien and Nemanja Vidic – Group D is anchored by perennial favorites, Germany. Australia are a rapidly improving outfit, while Ghana and Serbia both deserve dark horse status.
World Cup 2010: Group E
Holland are a good bet to win Group E. The Oranje will have no trouble scoring goals, though the health of key players is a concern, with Robin van Persie and Arjen Robben particularly injury-prone this season.
World Cup 2010: Group F
Italy haven’t necessarily offered scintillating football since winning the Cup in 2006, but the Azzurri got a favorable draw and should advance to the quarterfinals with ease. Famously stingy at the back, the Italians also possess clinical strikers in the shape of Alberto Gilardino and Vincenzo Iaquinta.
World Cup 2010: Group G
The Group of Death was established when Portugal fell to Group G, joining Brazil, the Ivory Coast and Korea DPR. Barring a miraculous run, North Korea's first trip to the World Cup since 1966 will almost certainly be short-lived.
World Cup 2010: Group H
Joint-favorites, Spain are head and shoulders above their Group H counterparts, and that’s no disrespect to Honduras, Chile or Switzerland. Any team boasting the likes of Iker Casillas, Carles Puyol, Xavi, and Fernando Torres will be hard to beat; Spain are world-class from back to front.
