Maybe worth a thread per Group - so will kick of with Group A - Brazil, Croatia, Mexico and Cameroon Brazil - Croatia Mexico - Cameroon Brazil - Mexico Cameroon - Croatia Croatia - Mexico Cameroon - Brazil On the surface looks a straight forward group for Brazil. When look into in any detail it gets even easier. Croatia, from 2012, we know are a decent team but have underperformed in qualifiers. Will that decline continue or was loosing to Scotland just a blip with new the manager bringing a freshness needed? Mexico results were poor in qualifying but were impressive in winning the Olympics 2 years ago, so hard to figure how they will perform. I don't know a much about Cameroon, but if Eto'o is still the main man for them, then I don't see them providing any real challenge to the other 3. Brazil and Croatia to qualify in that order. |

Should be straight forward for the hosts, leaving the other 3 to fight it out. Cameroon just aren't strong enogh anymore and are reliant on Eto'o who no longer looks up to it. Nice to see one of the sons of their Italia 90 heroes keeping on the traditikn though. Thus between tow teams with a very unpredictable qualifying campaign and recent manager change, or changes in Mexico's case. I think Croatia will have slightly more stability and nous but the game between them is one I look forward to, anything could happen ------------- A man can have no greater love than give 90 minutes to his friends. @withgodlygrace |

Looking at the stadium design online, that "roof" seems to be by design. There is something like 15,000 temp seats added to boost capacity for the opening game (looks like you can see some in the second pic). Still though, that stadium is going to host a semi with that arrangement. Would have though there are better venues worthy of a world cup semi final, ahead of a glorified bucket seats on scaffolding job. Wonder how safe that upper tier will be? |

Very weak group, which Brazil should walk. Cameroon - Lowest ranked team in the whole tournamentMexico - Last qualifier in CONCACAF via playoff.
Croatia - Last qualifier for UEFA playoffs.
Should make for good games, but whoever gets out in 2nd should be a cakewalk for Spain in 2nd round.

If Spain win the World Cup each player will get paid €720,000. If Brazil win it they'll get €330,000 each. If Germany win it they'll get €300,000 each. England supposedly £350,000 each. And the US players got $55,000 each for getting into the final 23. And then if they get to the quarter finals they'll be getting $400,000+ each. Massive amount of money for some of their players, many times bigger than their salaries. |

I simulated a match between Brazil and Croatia at the Maracana on PES 2014. (Yes I'm sad) Brazil 1 - 1 Croatia Hulk 80 Olic 70 Croatia much the better team and made the better chances. Neymar kept giving the ball away and ran into traffic too much. Croatia passed it round better rather than the brazilians trying to run too much with the ball individually. Croatia deservedly went ahead Julio Cesar parried Mandzukic's left foot drive from the edge of the 18 yard box right into the path of Olic who gratefully accepted the tap in. Brazil who didn't look like doing anything can thank Jo for a lovely piece of skill about 25 yards out, where he nutmeged a Croatian midfielder and laid the ball into the path of the hulk who was positioned near the penalty spot, calmly sidefooted the ball first time into the low right corner of the goal with his trusted left peg, before he could get closed down. Pato came on as a sub for Jo and had a chance to to go straight on goal but hadn't the pace and under pressure from persuing Croatian defenders, opted for a 25 yarder right foot shot that just flew over Pletikosa'a top left hand corner in the 89th minute. It would've been a complete injustice on Croatia if that went in. Overall a bit of a damp squip for Brazil on their opening day and with the threat of further social unrest due to this result, it remains to be seen if Neymar can actually live up to the high expectations.
