Group E starts their World Cup quest on Sunday coming and many are waiting patiently for the ‘Samba Boys’ to show what they got, after a sad showing in 2014.

On paper, one team takes a spot while leaving another spot free for any of the other three to brawl over. It’s anybody’s spot to take really, but will the spot go to a European contender, or will it be filled by the other American team?

We could see the flair of America, overpower the precision of Europe in one group. Something quite big for these nations who claim their football is better than the next. Everybody knows the Serbians are always up for a fight, and fight till the end they will.

Group E

POS
TEAMS
1  Brazil
2 Switzerland 
3  Costa Rica
4  Serbia

Mind you the Swiss might have a soft name, but their squad must not be taken likely. They have quite the first team of players, who play abroad in some of Europe’s top teams. It would be silly to write them off.

Costa Rica are the boys from Brazil who shocked the world when they were led by a Campbell who people knew little about. What one of the three will take second place in Group E if we predicting Brazil to take first place?
