The Brazilian superstar believes that there are no clear favourites for the World Cup, as many teams are in with a chance... Kaka has revealed that he considers Brazil's group to be the group of death at the 2010 World Cup, with the Selecao pitted against Portugal, the Ivory Coast and North Korea. "I think it's the hardest there is. There are other tough groups, but ours is the group of death. I think it's a good thing because we have to be focused from the start," he reasoned to Real Madrid's official website. According to Kaka, Spain are one of the strongest sides in the tournament. The Real Madrid playmaker added that he hopes Dunga's side don't face la Furia Roja in the last 16, as he would prefer to face them in the latter stages of the competition. "Spain are playing very well, which is worrying for their rivals. They know how to confront each match and they have a lot of individual talent. "I hope we don't face Spain in the last 16 so that we can play them later on, which could happen if we both finish top of our groups. Luis Fabiano is a great player and could score against [Iker] Casillas. "But 'San Iker' is one of the best 'keepers in the world. It's great to have him on your club side, but on the international scene it's a different story." The former Milan star was also asked about the favourites for the tournament, and he was loath to name just one as he believes there are many candidates that could lift the trophy in South Africa. "Spain are playing very well and could win it. England as well. Then there are teams with a lot of tradition like Italy, Germany, Argentina, France and the Netherlands. Anyone can win it. Whoever is the last man standing is the best."
