With just over a week to go until the start of the 2014 World Cup, it's time to start breaking down each of the eight groups. We'll start with Group A and work our way all the way up to Group G just before the start of the tournament.
With hosts Brazil, Croatia, Mexico, and Cameroon, Group A appears to be one of the most difficult groups in the tournament. Brazil is heavily favored to move on to the knock out round, but the second spot in the group is largely up for grabs.
