wouldn't think a group with Spain would necessarily be a group of death. I mean- they're from pot 2, meaning one of the 2 teams expected to advance. They are the highest team in pot 2, but barely over Switzerland. Pot 3 you have 2 really tough teams- Denmark at 12 and Sweeden at 18. Those 2 will be the 2 that have the best shot of being in the group of death. There's a pretty big gap between pot 3 and pot 4- lowest pot 3 team is Iran at 32. The best pot 4 team is Serbia at 37.

The absolute group of death would be:
Brazil (rating 2), Spain(rating 6), Denmark(rating 12), and Austrailia(39)
The group of cupcakes would be:
Russia(65), Uruguay(21), Iran(32), Panama(56)
