Thanks! What kinda strings Spain pull to get such an easy group?

The were just the fortunate ones who were grouped with the home team. On the positive side they get to breeze through to the semi's. On the negative side they have to play either Brazil or Italy once they get there. While if you're Brazil and Italy you'll probably throw 110% into the final group game against each other as you're pretty much guaranteed a spot in the finals if you're first as you'll probably be playing against S. Africa, NZ or Iraq.

Is there any chance for the US to get anything from Brazil or Italy? Are they even good enough to beat Egypt. My gut feeling is they will lose all 3 matches. - T.K.
