Group A:
Argentina
Bolivia
Colombia
Costa Rica
Before Friday, I'd have thought Argentina were certainties for this group, but Colombia only need a win/draw against the home team to essentially guarantee top spot. Costa Rica's U-23's or Bolivia are likely to be the worst thirds and be eliminated.
Group B:
Brazil
Ecuador
Paraguay
Venezuela
The Selecao should come top, with the ever-battling Paraguayans runners-up. Ecuador are in decline, so I'll tip Venezuela to cause a shock and make the last eight.
Group C:
Chile
Mexico
Peru
Uruguay
Like Costa Rica, this is Mexico B, but should still secure the last QF slot ahead of the incredibly weak Peruvians. Chile should follow up their decent World Cup performance, but Uruguay should have too much class here.
