Please stop calling Group G the 'Group of Death' just coz you think the US have the hardest group.

Group B >>> Group G

My socceroos obviously are ranked very low, but a group compiled of the Netherlands, Chile and Spain is tougher than what the US faced

Germany - top shelf
Netherlands - always dangerous and clinical
Chile - 3rd best team in South America I'd say
Spain - aging yes but still better than US
USA - improving
Portugal - Ronaldo not 100%
Ghana - too much drama in the team
Australia - young and inexperienced with a new manager.

That's how id rank those 8 teams, with Group B having 3 of top4

to all the rookies out there. Group of death is labeled such prior the games start. USA/Ghana/Ger/Port were all strong last world cup thus why it was clear group of death.

You do realise Spain won the 2010 World Cup and the Netherlands were runners up?
Chile also made the round of 16. Aussies only weak team again.

Stop it please...... only thing they did was get out of their group to be sent home in their firs elimination game......Portugal has been shit since precisely after Cristina took over the "best player of the team" spot..... Figo Deco, etc. teams were 200% better than Cristinas teams TBH.

FIFA uses a pretty standard formula to rank teams tbh. it's not like they pick and choose imo

{Ranking points} = 100* ({Result points} * {Match status} * {Opposition strength} * {Regional strength})

it's probably far from perfect formula but most likely better than anything you can come up with :lol

Before the WC is thought the group of death was Spain's group because I thought:

Spain > Italy
Holland > England
Chile > Uruguay

But seeing how Costa Rica was the dark horse and how shitty Spain was I think the group of death ended up being group D.

US group is the group of death only for apolivhbdgvcgvcj_9 and the rest of the Tristiano's girlfans 'cause everybody else knew Germany was going to coast all over it.

Does anyone think Germany ever doubted they were going to get out of that group? That was not the group of death. It was definitely group B where Netherlands, Spain and Chile were all fighting for two spots and none of them were sure who was going home first. Group D had all shitty has-been teams.

Spain would have gotten out of every group except theirs. It was the only group that had 3 good teams, and they just got beaten by the other two.

Group A > Brazil, Spain
Group C > Spain, Colombia
Group D > Spain, Costa Rica
Group E > Spain, France
Group F > Spain, Argentina
Group G > Germany, Spain

Well, we will never know but I still stand by my opinion. All I know is that Spain beat France in 2013 in a must win match. France even had Ribery back then. Have all the sudden France become unbeatable while Spain is full of scrubs?
When Chile beats Brazil everyone will see they are not so overrated, mark my words.

let me give you and example. The Indiana Pacers. They had the talent, the pedigree but just shit the bed. Same thing with Spain. It was just not their tournament, plus they are old.

:lol there is .0000001 chance of Chile beating Brazil. Maybe just maybe they can tie in regulation and make it to penalty shootout. but they are not beating them in regulation.

Let me give you two examples: LA Clippers and OKC. If they played in the eastern conference they would've reached the finals. They just got a tough road.
And why do you think Brazil will win? Have you seen them play? Have you seen Chile play? You could say they will win because they have HCA, but the Brazilians who attend WC games just suck. They are the miami heat fans of the WC.
