Uruguay: Ranked seventh, Uruguay has high hopes at the FIFA World Cup 2014. Twice world cup winners in 1930 and 1950 respectively, Uruguay coach Oscar Tabarez would be keen to get his side back in the running back for the World Cup trophy. Placing safe bets on strikers Luis Suarez and Edinson Cavani, Uruguay would look forward to ensuring a great run at the World Cup. They should be motivated by the status Giants of Football once given to them a few decades back.
England: One of the star-studded sides, England has always been burdened with huge expectations but failed to deliver somehow. Making their 14th World Cup appearance, England won the title way back in 1966. England Manager Roy Hodgson has high hopes with one of the most talented players in his side. With experienced players like Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard in the side along with Wayne Rooney, the Three Lions would be keen on shedding the ‘unlucky tag’ in this World Cup 2014.
