my picks:
group a = germany (closely ranked team should make a good group to watch)
group b = england (cake walk)
group c = argentina (#3 netherlands vs. #4 argentina best of round 1)
group d = mexico (mex vs. portugal should be good but mex ftw)
group e = usa (#2,#5,#12,#50 in one group... usa b/c we can do it)
group f = brazil (cake walk)
group g = france (cake walk)
group h = spain (cake walk)
Date for your diary: Frankfurt, 21 June, Netherlands v Argentina
Potentially the most exciting clash of the first round. All the more so since third in the world meets fourth in this decisive clash in a finely poised group.
