World Cup - Groups A & B

As expected, the 2nd games in the Group Stage are much more entertaining, more exciting, more open with more goals. Don't expect the same in the 3rd games. Teams that already won their groups - Argentina and Netherlands - and teams that are already eliminated (some of them are still mathematically alive, but highly unlikely) - France, South Africa, Nigeria, Cameroon, Ivory Coast.North Korea and Honduras - will have uninteresting games.

In Group A, Mexico and Uruguay are fighting to avoid Argentina. A draw is likely which will give Uruguay an easier opponent in South Korea or Greece next.



In Group B, South Korea should advance by beating Nigeria. I don't see Argentina willingly giving 3 points to the Greeks.
