World Cup Preview

Now for a few picks from a different type of football, soccer.

Overall, I'm not going out on a limb too much and think that Spain or Brazil is probably going to win the Cup. I'm leaning strongly toward Brazil, but you can't ignore how great Spain is offensively.

I'm going to post the two teams I think will advance out of each Group and then each day in the morning, I'll post my picks for each match that day.

Group A
France
Mexico

Group B
Argentina
Nigeria

Group C
England
United States

Group D
Germany
Ghana

Group E
Netherlands
Cameroon

Group F
Italy
Paraguay

Group G
Brazil
Ivory Coast

Group H
Spain
Chile
