Soccer/Football

And just assume that they somehow manage to get out of their group, they'll be going up against, likely, Belgium, which will have had a two week vacation waiting for our team which had just done 3 back to back games and flown almost 10k miles! :O

I actually hope we get out of our group just because that will be a remarkable achievement in and of itself, I don't even care if we lose then.

It's a tough group to be in. But as others are saying it makes for a good game, if we lose, we lose respectably, against our nemesis Ghana which we clearly have bad luck with, or Germany, who is a top teir team overall. If we win, it'll invigorate the games; so for entertainment purposes it's great.
