1. 1. Qatar
2. 2. Ecuador
3. 3. Senegal
4. 4. Netherlands

Group A brings together teams from 4 different continents. In the group, a strong Netherlands team stands out right away. Although the team can be unstable, recently they have reached a decent level. The group also includes the strongest African team, Senegal. According to many, it is the main rival of the Netherlands in the group. The host team is a rather weak team in terms of football. However, the factor of hosting the tournament in their home country may change the situation a bit. The last team in the group is Ecuador. Also not the most football-friendly country. However, they will certainly be able to put up a fight against the leaders of the group.

1. 1. England
2. 2. Iran
3. 3. USA
4. 4. Wales

The situation in this group reminds a little of the previous one. England are the clear favourites, although the team are having a difficult time at the moment. The USA and Wales will be fighting for second place. Both teams are well-staffed and have a great number of young, talented players, especially the USA. As for Iran, they can't hope to make much of a run for their money, as they are clearly weaker than their rivals.

1. 1. Argentina
2. 2. Saudi Arabia
3. 3. Mexico
4. 4. Poland

In Group C, the main favourite, Argentina, also stands out straight away. The team is in good form right now, most of the leaders are in good shape. The battle for second place will be just as tough. The Polish and Mexican teams have a number of quality performers who can also produce results. It is a bit of a stretch to say who could end up in second place, but it will probably be the Mexican team who emerges victorious. The Saudis are unlikely to put up much of a fight against their bigger rivals.

1. 1. France
2. 2. Australia
3. 3. Denmark
4. 4. Tunisia

The clear frontrunner France should have no problem advancing from the group. For second place, however, the Danish team is the biggest contender. Tunisia and Australia will wear out the Danes in quality of play. Therefore, the outcome of this group is almost obvious.

1. 1. Spain
2. 2. Costa Rica
3. 3. Germany
4. 4. Japan

Also a fairly obvious group. It is clear that the battle for 1st place will be between Spain and Germany. The Japanese team is unlikely to take the second place, however, no one can deny a sensation. The Japanese team is a strong enough team, so we should expect 1-2 strong matches from them. A modest Costa Rican team is unlikely to be able to compete with stronger rivals.

1. 1. Belgium
2. 2. Canada
3. 3. Morocco
4. 4. Croatia

This is the first group with the outcome really hard to predict, even the seemingly obvious favorite Belgium is in a mixed bag at the moment. Morocco and Croatia are also in a decent spot, and Canada also have some quality performers.

1. 1. Brazil
2. 2. Serbia
3. 3. Switzerland
4. 4. Cameroon

In Group G we should expect a fight for the second place, the first place can already be secured by Brazil, now the team leaders are in great shape, so it is unlikely someone will be able to compete with the team for the 1st place. The second place in the group has someone to fight for, all teams are at about the same level, so this group may be particularly interesting for a neutral fan.

1. 1. Portugal
2. 2. Ghana
3. 3. Uruguay
4. 4. South Korea

The latter group is also quite interesting in terms of play. The battle for first place will most likely be fought out between Portugal and Uruguay, while the Korean players could well fight for second place. The Ghanaian team also has a good squad that should be able to put up a good fight against the group leaders.
