At this point I dont think any of them will.
The only one that I think might have a chance is Ghana, assuming the get some sort of result against Germany, which I feel is unlikely.
Algeria can technically make it if they beat the USA and England lose or draw. Unlikely.
Ivory Coast is boned basically, and that idiot who got Kaka sent off is probably going to get lynched when he steps off the bus once people realize the implications of what he did.
But basically, they'd need to beat Korea by more than 7
and have Portugal lose. I doubt thats happening.
I'd wager we'll see a draw between Portugal and Brazil. It depends on the motivations I guess. Brazil are missing Kaka, and will sit anyone who is on cards and basically dont care at all about the Portugal game. All Brazil need to do is not lose and they win their group. Hell, they might lose just to get the more favourable draw against Chile rather than run the risk of having to play a potentially second place Spain.
