I picked very conservatively. Mostly relying on reputation more than form.

Some groups are quite easy to predict, others are impossible. I think goup A is the least predictable, it really could go any way. Group F - now that Drogba is out - I think is the most predictable.

I am relying on Serbia not to succumb to infighting, and on the Americans to take out Algeria for me.
