Group A:
Brazil – Host nation is a clear favorite to win it all and was the seed no
one wanted to meet.
Croatia – Shaky in qualifying and winless in World Cups since 1998; Luka
Modric is a shining light.
Mexico – Fortunate to qualify after desperate CONCACAF form pushed it to
the brink of elimination.
Cameroon – Lowest-ranked of the African nations after patchy form over the
past year.
Group B:
Spain – Defending champion started slowly in 2010, losing to Switzerland in
first game.
Netherlands – 2010 runner-up was somehow unseeded and a team nobody wanted
to face.
Chile – Struggled early in qualifying but was near perfect late on and will
be a real threat.
Australia – Fired coach Holger Osieck after heavy friendly defeats and
comes in with little momentum.
Group C:
Colombia – Radamel Falcao heads a deep squad keen to shine after missing
last three tournaments.
Greece – Not much fun to watch; defensively excellent but short on
attacking firepower.
Ivory Coast – Eliminated in the Group of Death last time, Didier Drogba’s
back for one last shot.
Japan – Greatly improved team more than capable of creating some shocks
against bigger opponents.
Group D:
Uruguay – Reached the semis four years ago but survived a qualifying scare
this time around.
Costa Rica – Qualifying success was built upon outstanding home form,
struggles on the road.
England – Lacking in confidence and inspiration and comes in with its
lowest expectations in decades.
Italy – Champions in 2006, awful in 2010, full of talent and believes it
can go all the way.
Group E:
Switzerland – Considered the weakest seeded team but a skillful unit
capable of going deep.
Ecuador – Clinched a World Cup spot for only the third time and has never
gone past the last 16.
France – Scraped through with a playoff comeback, hopes to atone for
humiliating 2010 campaign.
Honduras – Has reached two previous World Cups but has yet to record its
first victory.
Group F:
Argentina – Lionel Messi heads a confident team looking to secure first
title since 1986.
Bosnia-Herzegovina – The only newcomer in the 32-strong field, highly
talented but unpredictable.
Iran – Managed just one point from three games in 2006 and failed to
qualify in 2010.
Nigeria – One of the youngest squads in the tournament that should not be
underestimated.
Group G:
Germany – Third in 2010 and aims to build on positive vibe created by its
dominant club teams.
Ghana – Knocked out the U.S. in 2010 before being heartbreakingly denied a
semifinal spot.
United States – Regarded as the strongest team in its pot after topping
CONCACAF group.
Portugal – Cristiano Ronaldo single-handedly won a tense playoff but has
yet to shine at World Cup.
Group H:
Belgium – Reached first World Cup since 2002 after huge improvement and a
superb qualifying campaign.
Russia – Finished first in a tough qualifying group that also featured
Portugal and Sweden.
Algeria – Bottom of the U.S. group in 2010 and one of the weakest teams, at
least on paper.
South Korea – An easy campaign became nail-biting late on; finally booked
place on goal differential. | r*******g
