1. One of the favorites for sure..

and if Cesc goes to Barca I won't have to worry about him getting hurt when I watch them. There's always a silver lining.

This is going to be some great stuff...I can't wait.

2. And their path out of the group stage is laughable

They may have to shift into second against Chile, that's about it.

3. Indeed it is. Let's see if they can play well as a team rather than an amalgamation of all-stars.

4. With very few changes, this is the roster that won Euro 2008

[many a good man]

5. Messi has dual citizenship Spain - Argentina

Just imagine.....
