One thing that kind of sucks is that the upstart teams really aren't making as big of an impact this year. I mean the semifinals in 2002 was Germany, Brazil, South Korea and Turkey. That is the true World Cup.
Argentina and Brazil both have a good chance at making the semifinals, but it could very easily be an all-European group. I was disappointed to see Korea get knocked out and it was also disappointing that no African team's really stepped up. I would love to see Australia make a run, but starting out against Italy doesn't help. That being said, a win over Italy makes the semifinals in definate reach as both Ukraine and Switzerland are beatable.
