 | Brazil kicked off the World Cup on Thursday by somewhat fortuitously defeating Croatia 2-1 in Sao Paulo. On day two, Holland thrashed Spain 5-1. Could this be the end of an era for Vicente Del Bosque's side? Don’t rule them out just yet. They lost the first game of the 2010 World Cup to Switzerland and went on to win the tournament. Over the next 24 hours, the USA play Ghana, and Belgium kick off against Algeria. Below are profiles of those four teams. |
| USA Profile
Impressive victories over Italy and Germany since 2012, a record 12 match winning run last year and securing qualification with two games to spare shows that the USA will be no pushovers.
| Ghana Profile
Ghana head to the World Cup finals with confidence, if not expectations, high.
| Belgium Profile
Marc Wilmots’ Belgium undoubtedly provide one of the most intriguing subplots of this World Cup.
| Algeria Profile
Algeria’s World Cup record leaves plenty to be desired given they have never qualified from the group stages, although they came close in 1982 when they won two out of their three games, only to lose out to Austria on goal difference.
