We did it last time. Let's do it again. Who would be willing to write a preview for one or more countries featured in this year's World Cup? Basically, you would give a rundown of the squad, the qualifying campaign, predictions for the group stage and knockouts, and some "fun" facts about your country (e.g. HIV rate, countries invaded since hosting the 2014 Olympics and/or Krokodil usage).

I wrote an Pulitzer Prize winning preview of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA in 2010, so big shoes to fill on that one.

We could also do predictions for each group.



I'll start a list.


Group A:

Brazil-
Croatia-
Mexico-
Cameroon-

Group B:

Spain-
Netherlands-
Chile-
Australia-

Group C:

Colombia-
Greece-
Côte D'Ivoire-
Japan-

Group D:

Uruguay- Jabroni
Costa Rica-
England- LSU Red24
Italy- wm72

Group E:

Switzerland-
Ecuador-
France- Jabroni
Honduras-

Group F:

Argentina-
Bosnia and Herzegovina-
Iran- GHAZI
Nigeria-

Group G:

Germany-
Portugal-
Ghana-
THESE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA-

Group H:

Belgium- WarSlamEagle
Algeria-
CCCP- Xenophon
Korea Republic-

Spain, Italy and Germany should pretty much be spoken for if those respective posters want to do write ups
