World Cup Groups

Who will advance from the 8 World Cup groups?

Group A: Brazil and Mexico
I agree, Mexico and Croatia will fight for second place. Brazil could be first in this group, or Mexico can be a factor in the first group and surprise. Anything will happen.

Group B: Spain and the Netherlands
Tough to predict who will advance from this group of death, but Chile can surprise anybody out of this group and advance due to their South American advantage. Australia could like score some goals in this World Cup.

Group C: Colombia and Japan
Three teams who could make a surprise for Colombia in the group. Greece have a tough defending position, Ivory Coast have very fast forwards, and Japan play fast and are athletic. Can't underestimate Colombia, because they are a very skilled nation and could be Group C leaders.

Group D: Uruguay and Italy
This is a very tough to predict who will advance from this group of death. Three former World Cup champions, and only one of these will exit early from the group stages. England could only make a few surprises from this group, and only win against Costa Rica. Costa Rica are a scrub team and they will be eliminated from the group phase. Uruguay could surprise Italy because the Celeste have a South American advantage. Or Italy could score 2 goals on the Uruguayans. Anything could happen in this.

Group E: France and Ecuador
One of the weak groups in the 2014 World Cup. There won't be any surprises in the group, but top seeds Switzerland could be eliminated.

Group F: Argentina and Bosnia
Argentina will get all 9 points in this group, Bosnia-Herzegovina and Nigeria will fight for second place. Bosnia could make a surprise in Group F.

Group G: Germany and Portugal
Another group of death, Germany could get all of the 9 points they need. Portugal with Cristiano Ronaldo could defeat Ghana and United States…Germany and Portugal are 2 strong European nations who will advance from this group.

Group H: Belgium and Russia
This is one of the weakest groups of the 2014 World Cup tournament. Belgium will be in first place and Russia will be in second place.

In my personal opinion, I think Group G is the most competitive in 2014 FIFA World Cup. I will not say Group D, because Costa Rica sucks and England is overrated. I would say Group G because Germany is a superpower team, Portugal is very consistent and with CR7 they will be more powerful. Ghana is one of the best teams in Africa if not the best. And plus, I know United States in not that good, but I think United States is at least better than England and Costa Rica. Plus, United States is becoming more powerful under Jurgen Klinnsman. He is very a good coach, and he will make USA a better team. So group G is the most competitive and is the group of death.

Have a great day and I hope my answer helped.

This has happen before in the World Cup 1994 USA

Group E remains the only group in World Cup history in which all four teams finished on the same points. It began when Ray Houghton's chip ensured that Ireland would gain revenge on Italy by reversing a 1–0 scoreline the Italians had beaten them by in the quarter-finals of the previous World Cup. The next day in Washington, Kjetil Rekdal's goal five minutes from time proved decisive in an equally tense encounter as Norway beat Mexico. Mexico however were much more comfortable playing in Orlando, the setting for their next match against Ireland, where the heat proved to be a key factor. Garcia's double had them 2–0 up and in control of the game before a disagreement on the touchline resulted in fines for both Republic of Ireland's manager, Jack Charlton, and their striker John Aldridge. Fortunately for Ireland, Aldridge was able to re-gain concentration in time to score six minutes from the end of the game. Though Ireland still lost the match 2–1, Aldridge's goal proved crucial in the final group standings. The previous day in New York, Italy's World Cup hopes seemed to be diminishing fast as goalkeeper Gianluca Pagliuca was sent off with the game still at 0–0. Yet despite this, Italy were still able to salvage an important 1–0 victory. Norway would ultimately pay for a price for their inability to take advantage of Pagliuca's dismissal. With the four teams level on points, the final two group matches would each have to finish as draws for things to stay that way. Republic of Ireland made it through after a dreary 0–0 draw with Norway, whilst midfielders Massaro and Bernal traded strikes as Italy were held 1–1 by Mexico. That result meant that Mexico won the group on goals scored with Ireland and Italy also progressing having finished with identical records (Ireland finishing second on account of the fact that they had beaten Italy when the teams played one another). Norway's shortcomings in attack had ultimately let them down.—wikipedia GROUP E
