Groups of Death, Pestilence and Plague

From Nate Silver, percentage chances of advancing:
Not a great draw for the US but it's better than Group B and possibly D.  Wouldn't think there's much celebrating at The Hague right now.  Or Rome.
He has Brazil at 99.6% chance to move on.  Guess he left himself a little room there.
For those into it, here's his self-review on the SPI's performance in 2010:
Six months to analyze the groups before play actually starts.  Probably not a good thing.  Better to watch your favorite club(s) in the interim than overanalyze the World Cup.  Let them break your heart before your national team does.
