World Cup 2014

Today marks the beginning of the 2014 World Cup hosted by Brazil. Each of the 32 teams have been placed into one of 8 groups. The teams in each group will play each other round-robin style, and the top two teams after that move on to the knockout stage. The most difficult group, nicknamed the "Group of Death," consists of Germany and Portugal (two of Europe's top soccer teams), Ghana (the best team from Africa), and the United States.
