World Cup Preview

The 47th ranked Japanese squad is primed and ready for a good showing this World Cup, although they've never been too successful in this prestigious tournament.

Italy are always in the conversation when talking about World Cup finalist favorites, and in 2014 it's no different. With a loaded squad full of great players, the Italians are hoping to win their second World Cup title out of the past three tournaments.

Iran are a long shot at winning this rendition of the World Cup, but FIFA's #37 ranked international squad are hoping to surprise everyone and make a run for the prestigious trophy.

Team #19 out of the 32 World Cup Finalists is Honduras. The Hondurans had a wild ride during the qualifying round in the CONCACAF region, but are hoping for some fortunate results come June 12.

Greece haven't had much success in their World Cup Final appearances over the years, but they feel that they have the squad to make a run this World Cup.

Ghana are hoping to represent the continent of Africa well this World Cup, although they have a difficult path to the knockout round being placed in the "Group of Death" with Germany, Portugal, and the United States.

Germany are the popular choice for winning World Cup 2014, and there's no surprise why: they are arguably the most talented international squad in the world. Led by some of the best players in the world, Germany will be disappointed with any finish that doesn't end hoisting the World Cup trophy.

Ranked #17 in FIFA's World Rankings, France are hoping for a deep run this World Cup.

England has arguably the best club league in the world, and their national team isn't too shabby either. With a roster filled with superstars, they are looking to not be another let down like they've been prone to be the past few World Cups.

Ecuador starts off our preview of Group E, and they are looking to shock the soccer world by advancing to the knockout stage of World Cup 2014.
