World Cup Group Breakdown: Group A




Up against Croatia, Mexico, and Cameroon, Brazil are heavy favorites to finish first in Group A.


Brazil, FIFA World Ranking: 9
Young, wild, and fast, La Selecao will fight to win their nation's sixth World Cup in a way no Brazilian team ever has, as a host nation.
Predictions: Wins in all three games.


Croatia, FIFA World Ranking: 15
Real Madrid's Luka Modrić will cleverly orchestrate the Croatian attack, but a less than reliable back line may prove to be this nation's weakness.
Predictions: Loss to Brazil, Tie with Cameroon & Mexico



Mexico, FIFA World Ranking: 20
The 2012 Olympic Gold Medalists will face a much higher level of competition in this tournament, but the squad has become infamous for their last minute stunners.
Predictions: Win over Cameroon, Loss to Brazil and Tie with Croatia


Cameroon, FIFA World Ranking: 50
With most of their starting 11 past the peak of their careers, Samuel Eto'o and his team will need a combination of extraordinary form and luck if they are to move on.
Predictions: Losses to Brazil & Mexico and Tie with Croatia


Group Stage Predictions:
1st. Brazil
2nd. Mexico
3rd. Croatia
4th. Cameroon
