Of course, as a wise man once said, football is played on grass and not paper. Still, they have aa good team with some pretty good players in it that man for man is better the US, in my opinion.
They also looked pretty handy against Germany and that game could have gone either way - a bit of luck and they'd have topped the group.

I also am influenced by wanting them to win, as it would be nice to see an African team do well in the first african WC.
