Do you think the Spanish will score more? I think the Iran - Portugal match should be interesting. The Iranians have no reason to play defensively.
Iran - Portugal 1:1
Spain - Morocco 4:0
In the 1/8 round, things get tough, but at least if a team makes it to the 1/4 round after winning their group, they'll face potential opponents like France, Argentina, Brazil, Germany, or Belgium (and England).
But for the team that finishes second, after surviving the 1/8 round, they'll face Croatia, Denmark, Mexico, Switzerland, Japan, or Senegal (and Colombia).
For those planning to play for the long haul, it's better to end up in the lower half of the bracket.
