Ashley's Group Stage Predictions
Group A

South Africa/Mexico: 0-2
Uruguay/France: 1-2
South Africa/Uruguay: 1-1
France/Mexico: 1-1
Mexico/Uruguay: 1-0
France/South Africa: 2-0
Comments: Nervous about South Africa predictions because they could use home town advantage. France could also disappoint big time.
Group B

Results
Argentina/Nigeria: 2-1
South Korea/Greece: 1-0
Greece/Nigeria: 0-1
Argentina/Korea: 2-0
Nigeria/Korea: 2-0
Greece/Argentina: 0-3
Comments: I think Nigeria is the sleeper in this tournament; helped by the fact that this group is paired up in the next round with a weak group A. The group is bad for Greece, going up against 3 potentially high-scoring teams.
