    I think all 4 teams have about the same chance to advance

    I think Uruguay will win the group, and mexico and france will fight it out for 2nd. South Africa are definitely the worst team on paper, but the host nation had qualified from the group stage in every single world cup, so that makes me a little nervous.

        What do you think Jimmy, do you think Uruguay can win the group, and try not to be biased!

            Uruguay and France out of Group A. Mexico fights for a spot. South Africa just plays three games and they go home.

              Yeah group A is the hardest to predict.

              Mexico have shown a lot of potential in the friendly games, they tactically outplayed England and dominated Netherlands in the 2nd half, they got young forwards but they are solid all round. Uruguay are just as strong, they have a shaky defense but they got 2 of the best forwards in the group.

                  So back to South Africa.... they are in form. They beat a couple of shitty internationals but they have been winning and getting alot of PK's.

                    It is always hard to bet against the home nation. This year it seems South Africa is heavily outmatched compared to others in the past, but we've all seen underdog home nations win. I would stay away from this group, but if I had to pick it would be France and Uruguay.

                            South Africa just demolished Guatemala 5-0. Guatemala isn't a WC team but this shows they are on fire for the WC = bad news for the rest of the group.

                              I'm not touching this group with a 10 foot pole. Every single team is a complete unknown and can either completely flame out and score 2 goals in 3 games, or dominate and get 9 points. Not to mention the whole host nation never failing to go through bit, as well as the hosts always getting extra help from referees. For all we know, FIFA pulls another 2002 and puts on a mockery the way they did with that Korean side shamefully advancing to the semis.

                                  Can't understand backing France, in the Q's, they beat the faroe islands twice and austria, and drew with the the better teams in the group - romania and serbia. Then they needed a handball to beat Ireland in the playoffs. I know not too much can be read into friendly results but they had their first team out (inc. ribery) in their last game and could only draw with tunisia. Can anyone convince me that France are going to do well?

                                          South Africa will have crazy referee support, was listening to one of the FIFA top guys on BBC, he was saying its crucial that the home nation does well for the tournaments success

                                          i think South Africa and Uruguay make it out

                                              France will back early this year...

                                                Have you guys not seen the latest games that South Africa has played ?? They have favored about 3 or 4 penalty kicks in these games.

                                                They will be helped by FIFA come WC

                                                          The thing that is most important is that if France finish second in that group they play most likely Argentina in the round of 16. IMO that is a matchup that France wants to avoid. I see France winning the group.

                                                            I think Uruguay will qualify to next round. The second team may be France or Mexico. I will bet on Uruguay to qualify

                                                              Yes its the hardest to predict whit the Brazilian group(i dont know which group they are). I think Mexico and Uruguay can get the first and second place respectively, mayybe France fighting whit Uruguay for the second place. But if South Africa makes it, it will be the biggest steal in the WC, southafrica has nothing to do against this 3 teams.

                                                                I think it's gonna be a very tight group with plenty of draws.

                                                                Like a typical Italian group with 5, 4, 4, 2 points or something
