Excellent draw for the Azzurri. I'm confident Italy will top the group but even if we finish second, we will face a team from group C.
Group A: Brazil, Croatia, Mexico, Cameroon
Group B: Spain, Netherlands, Chile, Australia
Group C: Colombia, Greece, Cote d'Ivoire, Japan
Group D: Uruguay, Costa Rica, England, Italy
Group E: Switzerland, Ecuador, France, Honduras
Group F: Argentina, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Iran, Nigeria
Group G: Germany, Portugal, Ghana, USA
Group H: Belgium, Algeria, Russia, Korea
Toughest groups to predict: B, C, G. Chile are extremely underrated and I wouldn't be surprised to see them make it to the knockout rounds. Arturo Vidal will have a monster tournament.
All three teams in C are decent top to bottom. Greece are a stubborn defensive unit that no one wants to face, and Japan have lots of key players playing in big clubs in Europe. Colombia could easily fold like they did in '94 although they have been impressive lately.
There will be no easy games in group B. Second place will most likely face Brazil in the round of 16.
