00:00Previewing every single World Cup group ahead of the tournament this summer, starting with Group A.
00:05Mexico, South Africa, Czech Republic and South Korea making up an entire World Cup group feels weird.
00:11There's no international giant in this group at all, which makes it brilliant.
00:15Mexico are the favourites to top the group.
00:17They are co-hosts, have some established stars and have the most pedigree of their fellow groupmates.
00:22Anything other than progression to at least the quarters will be a failure.
00:25But the rest of the group is wide open.
00:27This is South Africa's fourth tournament and third on merit.
00:31They'll face Mexico in the opening game of a World Cup for the second time after 2010.
00:35Weird quirk.
00:36They're outsiders, but considering this is the Czech Republic's first World Cup in 20 years
00:40and South Korea's poster boy Hyunmin Son is entering the twilight of his career,
00:44do not be surprised to see Bofana Bofana make waves.
00:47With some of the best third place teams progressing to the knockouts this year,
00:50just one win in this group would likely see any team through.
00:54So expect attacking open football across the board.
00:57I'm tipping this to be the group of the tournament.
01:00One player to watch from each team.
01:01Santiago Jimenez of Mexico, Ronwen Williams of South Africa,
01:06Patrick Schick of the Czech Republic and Lee Kang-In of South Korea.
01:10But we'll see you next year.ушка
