Hey, that seems to be a decent group for the USA to be in. Wait, how many teams come out of each group into the next round?

OK, good. I'm feeling good about this group. You Canadians have a good group as well. Congrats on the CONCACAF world cup qualifying championship, btw.

Is E considered Group of Death?
I don't know how good Uruguay, Croatia and Denmark are supposed to be.

If Wales wins through their play-in, group B will be the only group with no teams outside the top 25 (regardless of who wins the other play-ins). Every other group will have at least one lower than 25 and a couple groups will have two lower than 25. I'd say B is the group of death if Wales can make it. I hope they don't.

FIFA #1 Brazil has a group match on Thanksgiving Day, and USA plays England on Black Friday.
