RE: Fifa World Cup - South Africa 2010
France are in big trouble now. At least Spain still look pretty likely to get through their group, and if results go their way they could still even end up first in the group. France, on the other hand, WILL be knocked out if Mexico vs. Uruguay is a draw. Even if it isn't, France will require a high-scoring win against South Africa to make up for the goal difference.
Argentina are really hitting top form now after a rather unconvincing qualifying campaign. At least they are picking their game up at the right time lol (unlike Spain who won ALL of their qualifying matches and then lost to Switzerland in their first match on the big stage...)
As for USA, I think Slovenia could give them quite a hard time. USA are rather inconsistent IMO (during the friendlies, for example, they lost 3-1 to Honduras) , and were extremely lucky to get the goal that earned them a draw with England (I honestly think I could have saved that). I wouldn't be at all surprised if Slovenia went through to the next round instead of USA.
EDIT: I was right about USA, lol. Slovenia leading 2-0 at half time. If Slovenia hold out for the win, I definitely wouldn't consider it an upset against an overrated side like USA.
EDIT 2: 2-2 draw. Credit to the USA for coming back, I suppose. They HAVE to win against Algeria now, and if England bet Algeria as expected, it will be especially hard for them since they will be playing under huge pressure while Algeria will be playing under close to no pressure since they would be already knocked out.
