The draw is over, and here comes the time for speculation

The groups for the World Cup have been drawn, and the stage is set for an action-packed, dramatic tournament with a truckload of surprises. While it will be their last international tournament for some, it will be a stepping stone to stardom for others.

But everything hinges on the performance of the nations. The pressure will be immense, but the players will pull through, as they always have. But some of it also depends on the group they are drawn into.

While we can already conjecture about the results of some groups, there are 3 groups in the World Cup Finals which will be hotly-contested.
