Qualifying from a group requires more then just good players, remember Germany made it to a final back in 2002 off an average team pulling together around Ballack despite going into the WC off a run of defeats to teams including the likes of Wales while then favourites Argentina and France both went out. The point being simply having a well known player is not a guarantee that they'll play well as national teams play vastly different then club sides. A lot of the predictions give me the impression of teams people want to go through rather then who can go through.
