is fine but not not great saudi arabia is drawing close to dead and cabo verde is drawing dead i would think group i may be the toughest group norway france senegal and iraq iraq

It's got no shot, but France is the number one team in the world.

Senegal is the number 14 team in the world.

Norway is weird because they're right outside the top 30, but some people think Holland is the best player in the world.

Group J, Argentina, Austria, Algeria, and Jordan.

Argentina, obviously the huge favorite.

Group K, Portugal, Colombia, Congo, and Uzbekistan.

Portugal, obviously a significant favorite, but Colombia, I think Colombia could win that.

And then Group L, England, Croatia, Ghana, Panama, another brutally difficult group.

Ghana, historically one of the best African nations.

Croatia, back-to-back semifinals in this tournament.

And England, nothing but heartbreak at the World Cup the last 60 years, but one of the best teams in the world.

So that's the group piece of it.

As far as where I think it makes sense to potentially put money on a winner...

I said I'm picking Brazil.

Brazil's 7-1 on hard rock bet.

It doesn't seem like anybody has a lot of faith in Brazil other than me.

And part of that is it's just I always have rooted for Brazil since I was a little kid.

They are the team that reminds me the most of soccer.

I want them to be good.
