You are correct that it is probably harder than Germany (#4, #2) Portugal (#16, #5), USA (#17, #14), and Ghana (#24, #24), though not much harder. I think the fact that Ghana is actually capable of being competitive with the top 3 may make for more drama in this group versus the poor Aussies who will just be overwhelmed, I suspect.
