00:00Previewing every single World Cup group ahead of the tournament this summer, Group K.
00:04Portugal, DR Congo, Uzbekistan and Colombia.
00:07What a fantastic group that sounds like on paper, by the way.
00:09Portugal are my sleeper pick to win the whole tournament.
00:12Why, you ask?
00:14Let's go back to front.
00:15They have the best full-back in the world in Nuno Mendes.
00:17Their midfield three of João Neves, Bettina and Bruno Fernandes is the best in the whole tournament
00:21and it might not be particularly close.
00:23And they have Ronaldo up front, who has one final shot at glory.
00:27They just won the Nations League.
00:29They're going to be up for this.
00:30DR Congo low-key have some proven talent in their team and will back themselves to get to the knockouts.
00:35Johan Wisser and Cedric Bukambu offer them genuine goal threat and,
00:38despite a drawn-out qualifying campaign and no World Cup appearance in 50 years,
00:43they'll be raring to go.
00:44Uzbekistan qualified comfortably for the World Cup under the management of Fabio Cannavaro.
00:49What a mental sentence that is.
00:51It's their first finals ever and who better to guide them than a World Cup and Ballon d'Or winner?
00:56Their player to watch is obvious, but keep an eye on Eldor Shomoridov too.
01:00Are Colombia the World Cup's version of streets won't forget?
01:04Memorable players and kits make them a team that everyone looks forward to watching every four years.
01:08James Rodriguez is another ageing star who will have one last hurrah in the US
01:12before being added to their impressive collection of iconic World Cup stars.
01:15But enough about that.
01:16They'll back themselves to go far.
01:17One player to watch from each team.
01:18Nuno Mendes of Portugal.
01:20Noah Siddiqui of DR Congo.
01:22Abdukhadi Kusunov of Uzbekistan.
01:24And Luis Diaz of Colombia.
