There is virtually no reason for Switzerland to argue about being dealt in Group E because this is probably the most accessible group at the World Cup 2014. France will cause them plenty of headaches with their plethora of offensive options, but if the Swiss defend as well as they did in the qualifying campaign, they should advance the next stage with ease. They've got a good coach in the person of Hitzfeld but they lack remarkable strikers and depend…

Honduras never had high expectations at the World Cup and the fact that they participate in this edition is in itself a reason to celebrate. They are playing against more experienced opponents, but to some extent they can be happy that they caught a lucky break with the draw. Beating France or winning the group are two sci-fi scenarios, but under the right circumstances, the small nation could cause a big surprise by qualifying at the expense of Switzerland and…

Ecuador has been dealt one of the easiest group at the World Cup 2014, but despite the fact that their opponents are not as tough, the South Americans are not exactly favorites to advance to the next stage. Switzerland is the team they need to beat, but they can't afford to lose any points to Honduras, the clear underdog of Group E. The qualification campaign was particularly difficult and once again Ecuador made the most of home pitch advantage to…

Bosnia and Herzegovina did a fine job at building a competitive team in a short period of time, but they are yet to prove their worth at the highest level. Since this is the first time that the small European country participates at the World Cup, expectations are not very high. This should help in a group where Argentina is the overwhelming favorite to prevail, but Bosnia and Herzegovina have the best chance at finishing second. There is not much…

This is the fourth time that Iran makes the World Cup groups but unfortunately for them it is most unlikely to make it to the next stage. Argentina is the top favorite to win Group F with Nigeria and Bosnia and Herzegovina coming in next, as both teams have formidable strikers. Iran has a simple mission in Brazil, to defend against these opponents and collect as many points as possible. Group stage and event prospects Iran is poised to build…

Coach Keshi found himself between a rock and a hard place, as he tries to prepare a competitive team for the most important football event in the world, while trying…

Costa Rica is definitely not the weakest them of those participating at the World Cup 2014, but when playing the same group as Italy, England and Uruguay your chances to win are slim to none. Those who are curious what the numbers indicate, should know that Bet365 offers odds of 2500 to 1 for Costa Rica. Jorge Luis Pinto probably smiles down benevolently upon those who ask him about what he thinks about these odds, because they have no significance…

The moment you realize you are going to play against Spain and the Netherlands in the group stage, it becomes crystal clear that you are not going to move further at the World Cup 2014. With Chile also in Group B, Australia is very likely to finish in the last place and the only thing they can do is to avoid a total humiliation. What makes Spain and the Netherlands so dangerous is that they have players capable of ripping…

Chile is not exactly a force in world football and was never a glamorous team, but in Brazil they might spent some time in the spotlight. It is quite possible for them to do it for all the wrong reasons, because the South Americans will be playing in one of the most difficult groups, alongside the Netherlands and Spain. The reigning champions have the first chance to win the group and they will be trying to win maximum points in…
