All the Mexicans have to do is beat out Croatia and Cameroon. Not the most Herculean of tasks.

Well, unless the Mexican team has turned around I'd say they will have their hands full with the Croates and maybe even Cameroon.

Your point about Klinsmann and the Germans is a good one, hope that's enough. I think the Germans could go very far in 2014.

If Luis Suarez can keep his mouth shut (literally), Uruguay could be very dangerous.

If you go by history, a European team has never won the Cup in a WC held outside of Europe.

So I think the favorites are: Brazil, Argentina or Uruguay.

But if you are looking for a darkhorse from Europe, Belgium could be very dangerous.

Yes, Mexico will have their hands full. The question is, will they turn things over the next six months? Sure they manhandled the Kiwis to get in but if they show up performing like the did over the past year qualifying, they’ll be flying back to Mexico quickly.
