That is going to be one of the most interesting matches of the group phase.  Belgium has been impressive as well, but is it for the same reasons?  Other groups have two weak teams.  Spain and Portugal are the only quality sides in Group B.

I think this is one of the better teams England has fielded in a long time, and I think the overall field is lacking any great teams.  It's as good a chance to win a WC as they are likely to get.  I don't see any clear favorite.

The winner between England and Belgium gets a really easy draw with the second place team from Group H, which is not strong.  But even the 2nd place finisher will be favored over the winner of Group H.  I think both teams should get to round of 8.  Likewise Spain and Portugal would both be favored over anyone in Group A.

Group E and F face each other, and that will be brutal. Group C and D will be interesting as well.  If Argentina can get through as the second place team they'd meet up with France.
