World Cup Draw 2014
Groups + (World Rankings)
A - Brazil, Croatia, Mexico, Cameroon (10 16 20 51)
Brazil should walk this with the other 3 taking points of each other, the climate won't help Croatia.
B - Spain, Holland, Chile, Australia (1 9 15 59)
Any 3 from 4, Chile could upset the European big guns.
C - Colombia, Greece, Ivory Coast, Japan (4 12 17 48)
Fairly even group, Colombia should be favourites but have a habit of blowing it on the big stage.
D - Uruguay, Italy, England, Costa Rica (6 7 13 31)
Again any 3 from 4, Uruguay should be favourites but seem overrated after only being 5th in qualifying, Italy still rely on the old guard, England who knows?
E - Switzerland, France, Ecuador, Honduras (8 19 23 41)
A really weak group where any of them could qualify, a lot of people predicted that France would avoid the big guns .. and they did!!
F - Argentina, Bosnia, Nigeria, Iran (3 21 36 45)
Argentina and ?, Bosnia looked good in qualifying but first time nerves and the climate will give the others a shout.
G - Germany, Portugal, USA, Ghana (2 5 14 24)
The real group of death, the Europeans should qualify but Ghana and the Yanks are no mugs.
H - Belgium, Russia, Algeria, South Korea (11 22 26 54)
Another weak group where any could qualify, the talented Belgian squad haven't had the big tournament experience so might struggle.
All kicks off 12th June next year :)
