FIFA World Cup 2014 : Group A Preview
Brazil
Under present supervisor Luiz Felipe Scolari, Brazil is required to have an awesome World Cup. Taking after the last 3 chiefs of Seleção neglecting to have a critical effect, Brazil have significantly more elevated aspirations with the ex-Chelsea manager in charge. Returning once more to the methods for 2002, – Brazil's last World Cup triumph – Scolari looks to take the hosts the distance after a to a great degree guaranteeing Confederations Cup.
The country's trusts presently lie with Barcelona's armada footed forward, Neymar. The 22-year old cleared up the Confederation Cup's Golden Ball (best player) grant and took the competition by storm, couple that with his 30 objectives for the national group since the last World Cup and you see why he's most loved for the World Cup's Golden Boot.
With Brazil qualifying as hosts you could contend this side haven't generally been tried. Whilst the Confederations Cup is critical in its own particular right, the competition wouldn't have been the essential concern of whatever possible top country. With a flawed safeguard and maturing 'attendant there are inquiries to be asked of this Brazil side, yet before a home swarm I anticipate that them will win Group An and compass at any rate the semi-finals.
Mexico
Mexico were amazingly fortunate to rub through their World Cup qualifying gathering, the Mexicans were dependent on USA – their savage adversaries – to secure at any rate a point in Panama to permit them to possess fourth spot. Fortunately for Mexico, a 90th moment Graham Zusi objective put USA on level terms before Aron Johannsson secured a win for the Americans, bringing about Mexico confronting New Zealand in the play-offs.
In the wake of experiencing three directors in a month, Mexico have at long last restored some soundness under present supervisor Miguel Herrera and made simple work of New Zealand with a 9-3 total win. Oribe Peralta, the star of the two-legged undertaking with 5 objectives, is relied upon to initiate Mexico's 5-3-2 close by one of their European-based stars. However notwithstanding Mexico at last discovering some union, the Mexicans utilizing their exchange Europe haven't played with the Liga MX players under Herrera since his first amusement in control against Costa Rica back in October 2013.
Despite the fact that Mexico is the not really glad managers of the most misfortunes in the World Cup history (22), they'll be not kidding contenders for second place in Group A. A liquid and element group, Mexico can demonstrate hazardous for sides, yet with an absence of physicality and a shortage of pace in resistance they could be abused.
Croatia
Like Mexico, Croatia just limped through qualifying in the wake of beating Iceland in the play-offs. The Croats finished qualifying in horrendous structure by gathering their 3 misfortunes in the last 4 diversions and drawing alternate, this left the country at frenzy stations; head mentor Igor Stimac was sacked and the unpracticed ex-commander of the national group Niko Kovač was drafted in.
Regardless of having possibly the best playmaking hub at the World Cup, Kovac has truly an undertaking staring him in the face. Luka Modric, Ivan Rakitic and Mateo Kovacic may be the competition's purpose of call for football trendy people, however there are no genuine midfield stay men or wingers in the Croatian side. Left-back is an alternate issue for Croatia, however with Dejan Lovren, Vedran Corluka and Darijo Srna whatever remains of the back four appears set.
Croatia are liable to be rivaling Mexico for second place in the company of their inadequacies, yet regardless of the possibility that they do attain second position, much else besides the first knockout stage will most likely be a stretch too far.
Cameroon
Cameroon has the chances stacked against them in this gathering; bookmakers have Cameroon as high as 5/1 to complete in the main two. Volker Finke's men won their qualifying gathering by 4 focuses with 3 of them being recompensed to Cameroon after Togo fielded an ineligible player versus The Indomitable Lions back in May 2013.
It's possible Finke will send his side in a 4-3-3 for the World Cup with Alex Song at the heart of it – they'll look to him to manage play when in ownership. At the same time notwithstanding their just superstar name being striker Samuel Eto'o, Cameroon's issues lie before objective; there's insufficient imagination in midfield for whoever plays in the front three.
Cameroon hasn't gotten away from their World Cup bunch since 1990 and I'll be stunned if 2014 is the year to break the unsuccessful streak. On the off chance that they are to qualify they'll be intensely dependent on their strong resistance – Liverpool reject Charles Itandje better be ready to manage Neymar, Mandzukic and Peralta.
