It's a DNA thing.  You wouldn't understand.  USA seems to have a
"relatively" easier bracket
for the 2nd round than Japan.

Assuming that Japan can get passed Paraguay, the prospect of (likely)
facing Brazil/Portugal/Spain
can't be very uplifting.  If the Ivory Coast goes all out on the
Norkies and Portugal completely
blows it, things might be a bit interesting.
