The draw for the 2010 World Cup has taken place, and there's even a prediction! The French were lucky to be drawn against the weakest of the "seeded" teams. However, Portugal will have to face Brazil in the group stage. If there are no upsets or miracles, the toughest schedule in the playoffs will be for Spain. They will likely play Portugal in the round of 16. In the quarterfinals, they will probably face Italy. In the semifinals, they will face either Argentina or Germany. On the other side of the bracket, Brazil (England, Netherlands) could reach the final. England probably has one of the easiest schedules... they might only face Brazil in the semifinals, but if they beat them, the psychological advantage in the final will be immense. In my opinion, the most exciting matches to look forward to are: Brazil - Portugal (group stage) Argentina - Spain (semifinal) England - Brazil (semifinal) Brazil - Spain (final)
