i think groups A & B may give u the most problems, and u can bet ur life on it that at least one of the other group favs will fail to win their group, and one of them probably wont even qualify...

A worry I have for Argentina is their first two matches are in Johannesburg (5700 feet), then Polokwane (4300 ft), then if they are group winners its Johannesburg (5700 ft) again. That must be tiring, and will imo make them vulnerable in the group, and if they win that vulnerable again in the last 16 match.
Brazil have a similar campaign: first two matches at Johannesburg (5700 ft), then Portugal in Durban at sea level. But Portugal will be coming to that final group match after two sea level matches. And Brazil have an old team, shirt numbers 2 to 10 (goalkeeper excluded) have an average age today of 29.3 years.
Maybe they will be too classy to be troubled in their groups, but might be softened up before the knockout matches.
