While Group G has been dubbed the "group of death," Group E has to be the "group of life." Switzerland is a good team, but the dark horse nation will be happy to escape some of the harder teams at the beginning of the tournament.
France, who narrowly made the World Cup finals through a playoff comeback, might have the best chance to top this group.
Group B may not have Germany, but it has both teams that played in the 2010 World Cup final. Both Spain and the Netherlands will be fighting for control of the group, while Chile is a dangerous team that should not be overlooked.
Nigeria is flying high after winning the 2013 African Cup of Nations. The Super Eagles have a very talented team and really get the most out of their players in major tournaments.
Beating Argentina may be a stretch, but they will be battling with Bosnia and Herzegovina for a second-place finish.
One of the more enticing narratives of the upcoming World Cup is the meeting of brothers Kevin-Prince and Jerome Boateng that's set to take place when Germany and Ghana meet in the group stage.
Both are German-Ghanian and could have played for either country. Each opted for a different nation, and we will get to see who prevails when the games begin this summer.
The United States seemed to have angered the World Cup gods and were drawn in the "group of death"
They will be up against tournament favorites Germany, as well as a Ghana team that beat them in the knockout rounds of the 2010 World Cup. No game in this group will be dull.
