group of death as in one-sided destruction, or a battle arena with equal skilled contenders? :/

Group F = RAPE
Group C = War

However, I do in fact hope Australia wins their game vs Brazil

Without a doubt C

Netherlands, Argentina and Serb/Mont all have very good teams with alot of star players.

And the Ivory Coast have some very good and famous players in their teams (Edoube?, and Drogba to name a few)

These are all teams i think could get at least past the group stage if they weren't in the same group

There is no group worthy to be called group of death in this WC, but if there was one, it would be C.
I wouldn´t call him stupid, but let´s just say he´s unlucky when thinking...

I'd say F coz of best "worst teams". As I consider the aussies underrated until they get brutally owned by all. Croatia and Brazil are really kickass and japan went pretty far last time.
But no group is really brutal this time around.
I have the best fucking lawyers in the country including the man they call the Malmis.

C has better worst teams than F.
Serbia and Ivory Coast are better than Japan and Australia i think.

And E doesn't have 3 contenders, how is US ever going to win this? Hahaha. And having Ghana as a fourth it becomes a lot easier to qualify, as you just have to beat 1 of the stronger teams and Ghana to qualify.

So clearly C. And G, D and H are such walkovers.

I think he considers Ghana to be the contender given he's from Africa, and I think he's right that they in fact are not far behind Italy and Cz.

Anyways: the hardest group is clearly C, because Ivory Coast is really strong imo.

Correct, bey. 1 goals against in 10 matches is insanely little. There's a few big names (Kezman, Vidic, Stankovic) but the rest of the players all play at semi-big european clubs as well and do function well as a team. I think i'd put Serbia on par with teams like Sweden, Poland and Switzerland (all of which have a decent chance to pass groups), so I really don't think you can talk of a weak team here.

I really do hope that tomorrow all goes well, but i fear the worst. And watching the match today made it even more clear that C is the hardest, the best football so far i think...

don't see how C is a group of death, there's 2 great teams and 2 bad teams, a group of death should have at least 3 teams who compete for the 2 spots in the playoffs? in group E it's pretty open beetwen italy/usa/czech and in brazil's group croatia/australia/japan are pretty even fighting for the 2nd spot.

people don't know whats going on here. how can we not vote for E? because theres 3 teams in the top 10 in the world. usa ir ranked up high and thats bullshit. czech is ranked #2 for a reason. in ivory coasts game they could have easily tied argentina or won that game. they had A LOT of chances. i don't count bazil's group because brazil will rape all of the teams and go through, but in groups C and E all games will be close. like holland won by 1-0 and argentina won 2-1 so... close and today we will see about group E. i think czech first and ghana second ^^!!! GOSU WORLD CUP!!!!!!!!!

You shouldn't take the fifa ranking very serious :|

USA being in top 10 tells us enough about that.

But I agree with E being the second hardest group.

Sure bets are Czech Republic/Italy with USA/Ghana as outsiders.

Lol are ppl still on group E? Anyone who say the matches today can see there's a huge skill gap in team play between the top 2 and bottom 2 teams. Both matches weren't even close.

The FIFA ranking is a total joke. USA isn't near the top 10 countries in the world, maybe somewhere around 20. I'd probably say the top 10 ranking teams should be something like:
Brazil
Argentina
Czeck
Italy
France
Holland
England
Croatia
Spain
Portugal
And germany, poland, sweden, equador, ivory coast, serbia, mexico, switzerland are also better than US and A, together with a few other teams which didn't qualify.

And i must add that while i don't think many (any) of the african teams will make it out of the group stage, i'm inpressed by their play so far. None of them are a total walkover. We've yet to see Togo & Tunisia of course, but these teams are physically strong & fit, pity they seem to lose by being outsmarted & less good at tactics a lot.

You're a fortune teller.
And about the 6-0: Considering they qualified above spain in their prelim group, imagine how they would have gone through in spains' group easily, and how how bad they are getting beaten in group C, that just shows how strong group C is^^.

But on a serious note, i haven't seen S&M play that bad in 2 years, they were almost helping Argentina to score. But put S&M in group D, H, A, B (instead of mexico, ukraine, poland or sweden, which aren't very different in class from S&M) and they suddenly have a decent chance of making the second round.

Looking at the way the cup is going F seems to be emerging as a tough group to predict... some games are coming real close.. i mean... croatia clearly deserved to win against brasil and australia dominated japan way more than most expected considering the japs did very well against the argentinians was it?

mmmm.. some of you might wanna change your votes... (also seeing as serbia lost 6-0... yea.. that's a TIGHT score!.. not!)
I really wanted a bigger opponent, like Nate Marquardt, or King Neptune, or Zeus, or Zeus and Fedor, or Fedor on Zeus's shoulders, and they can both punch but only Zeus can kick.

It was fucking boring match D:
And today Cze-Ita, I think this group became the group of the death since Cze has many players that can't play...

E became the most entertaining group, but primarily because Italy and Czech didn't live up to their reputations (ita 1-1 vs, czech 0-2 ghana), but does entertaining mean it's the group of death? Not the best soccer or the best teams in here, but the closest finishes.

Group of death is an informal term used in football (soccer) to describe a situation that often occurs during the group stage of a tournament (such as the first round of the World Cup), where all the teams present in one group are considered to be roughly equal in skill, or one or more of the 'underdog' teams could prove to be a 'banana skin' for the favourite (or favourites) to proceed. Thus, due to the small difference in quality between the members, any team could plausibly qualify and any could plausibly be eliminated. It is, in other words, the most unpredictable group of the tournament.
