The first match for Spain is against the Netherlands, which is a repetition of the final match of the last World Cup. To add emotion, the team that comes up second in this group will most probably play Brazil in the last 8, and we know FIFA will not let the host be eliminated too soon.
On the other hand I believe that to identify the group(s) of death we should add the ranks of the top three teams since the last one is usually easily eliminated. Even using this approach USA's group is still the harder with just 21.
