PERMUTATION OF WORLDCUP GROUP B & A IN BRAZIL 2014
With the second set of matches over, I WISH to takes a look at
which teams are qualified, which ones are going home and
which are still battling to make the knockout stages for both GROUP A & B
Group B
Qualification is already decided in Group B, with both
Netherlands and Chile having won their first two matches, while Australia and world champions Spain remain pointless.
Today's clash between Netherlands and Chile will decide who tops the group. Whoever wins is guaranteed to advance as winners, while a draw would suit Louis van Gaal's men, who boast a slightly better goal difference.
Spain Vs Australia is a dead rubber, after performing poorly in their respective first two matches. Today's clash offer no more
than a chance for both sides to garner a little pride before leaving Brazil.
Group A
Despite being held by Mexico in their second match, Brazil
are still in pole position heading into the final round of fixtures, knowing a win over already-eliminated Cameroon will likely see them top Group A. In order to stop that happening, Mexico must overcome their inferior goal difference by beating Croatia by two goals more
than Luiz Felipe Scolari's men defeat the Indomitable Lions, however they need only a point to qualify in second.
Croatia are still masters of their own destiny but must beat Mexico to have any hope of advancing.
