Interesting, thus far every team that won their group has progressed with the sole exception of the USA and potentially Spain should Portugal pull off the upset (which they wont!!).
That said, for some of the major teams perhaps coming in second in their group would have been better. For instance, had Germany come in second in their group they'd have had the road of:
USA - Uruguay - Holland/Brazil
rather than:
England - Argentina - Spain/Paraguay
While playing USA/England is basically a lateral move at best I'm sure the Germans would rather not play Argentina and vice versa.
And the South Americans are kicking serious ass. Theres likely going to be at least 1 in the final. Hell, FIFA could give MORE spots to SA and fewer to CONCACAF.
