Gotta look past the group stages.

Anyone that is in Brazil's half, I believe it's Groups A to D? Has the rough section of the draw.

Put it this way, whoever comes 2nd in our group will most likely play Brazil in the round of 16. Netherlands and Spain will want 1st, nothing less to at least give themselves a shot at the semis. That's why the odds of the teams in this group winning the world cup are much lower compared to other favourites.
