Football world cup is underway from June 12 and it will be Brazil against Croatia in the opening encounter. The other two teams in Group A are Cameroon and Mexico. Brazil in the first looks promising to go in the final 16 of the Fifa 2014 while the fight between the rests of the three teams will be interesting to watch as only one can go in the next round.  Now, if we go by the reputation and skill then Mexico looks the second best team and looks set to enter in the final 16. But, one can’t predict the game of football as Cameroon and Croatia can even create upset. Thus, the likes of Brazil and Mexico can’t take both Cameroon and Croatia lightly. Looking at Cameroon team, they have a potential to reach in the second round of the tournament. The emergence of Vincent Aboubakar has been great for the Cameroon team. With the star power in forward in the form of Samuel Eto’o is the biggest positive for the team. Samuel Eto’o will add the experience to the team that may help Cameroon to clear the first stage and reach in the final sixteen. So, there is every chance that this team pull of some upsets in the group stage.

Now talking about Croatia, they are appearing in the World cups for the fourth time only.  They will be spirited as they have made it to the final 32. If we see the likes of Sweden, Wales, Czech Republic and Serbia missed out this time which means that Croatia did well to reach in the final 32 and deserved a chance to play against the top teams in the world cup. They surely would be eager to pull off an upset to prove that they are not happy just being in the world cup. So, it would be really interesting to see Brazil playing against these three teams. Brazil will not like to see any upsets happening against them. Mexico will be worried and updated about the strength Cameroon possess. So, they will work hard to avoid a defeat against Cameroon. Mexico furthermore would be trying to not lose against the host nation to increase their chances as a no. 2 team in the Group A. So, it will be an amazing battle and interesting to see who gets better of the other. Experts are predicting Brazil and Mexico to qualify in the final 16. Though, few of them are expecting one or two upsets happening in Group A.
