Episode notes

Jon Arnold returns for another World Cup Group Preview as this time the guys look at Group E. A re-vamped Germany lead the way, followed by a pair of physical dark horse contenders in Ecuador (the second-best team in South American qualifying) and Ivory Coast (full of young talent). Curaçao, one of the most intriguingly assembled teams of the World Cup, round out the group.
