Question: Earlier in the Cup someone mentioned that Group E cannot qualify as the "Group of Death" because one team lost 3-0 (good point I think).
However, after the second games, has Group E now become the "Group of Death"?
With the top team only on four points, I would say "YES".

The 3-0 score shouldn't have anything to do with it... going in, you had 3 sides all ranked in the FIFA top 15 (although the ranking system is suspect), and Ghana may be the biggest surprise team of the tournament so far. Group "E" is clearly the Group Of Death™, especially since finishing 2nd in this group draws Brazil in the round of 16.
