Group A features hosts Russia, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Uruguay. Here\u2019s our preview of each team and whether they\u2019ll progress through the group stage or not.<\/p>\n

Russia<\/h2>\n

World Ranking:<\/strong> 65<\/p>\n

Star Player:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Igor Akinfeev<\/p>\n

Coach:<\/strong>\u00a0 Stanislav Cherchesov<\/p>\n

Best Finish:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 4th<\/sup> place, 1966<\/p>\n

The hosts will have plenty of support, but they enter this tournament as the side with the lowest ranking, with plenty of key players having retired at the end of Euro 2016. The country will expect the team will be competitive at least, and after Euro 2008, they do have the ability to surprise us and actually do well in an international football competition. It\u2019ll be between the Russians and Egypt as to who qualifies from Group A along with Uruguay.<\/p>\n

Squad<\/strong><\/p>\n

Goalkeepers:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Igor Akinfeev (CSKA Moscow), Vladimir Gabulov (Brugge), Andrei Lunev (Zenit St. Petersburg),<\/p>\n

Defenders:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>Vladimir Granat (Rubin Kazan), Fedor Kudryashov (Rubin Kazan), Ilya Kutepov (Spartak Moscow), Andrey Semenov (Akhmat Grozny), Igor Smolnikov (Zenit St. Petersburg), Sergei Ignashevich (CSKA Moscow), Mario Fernandes (CSKA Moscow)<\/p>\n

Midfielders:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>Yuri Gazinskiy (Krasnodar), Alexander Golovkin (CSKA Moscow), Alan Dzagoev (CSKA Moscow), Alexander Erokhin (Zenit), Yuri Zhirkov (Zenit), Daler Kuzyaev (Zenit), Roman Zobnin (Spartak Moscow), Alexander Samedov (Spartak Moscow), Anton Miranchuk (Lokomotiv Moscow), Denis Cheryshev (Villarreal)<\/p>\n

Forwards:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Artem Dzyuba (Arsenal Tula), Alexei Miranchuk (Lokomotiv Moscow), Fyodor Smolov (Krasnodar)<\/p>\n

Fun Fact:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The distance between Russia\u2019s westernmost stadium (Kaliningrad) and easternmost stadium (Ekaterinburg) is more than 1500 miles, roughly the same distance as Moscow to London.<\/p>\n

Odds:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 40\/1<\/a><\/p>\n

Saudi Arabia<\/h2>\n

World Ranking:<\/strong> 63<\/p>\n

Star Player:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Mohammad Al-Sahlawi<\/p>\n

Coach:<\/strong>\u00a0 Juan Antonio Pizzi<\/p>\n

Best Finish:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Round of 16, 1994<\/p>\n

Along with Russia, Saudi Arabia are the second lowest-ranking side in this year\u2019s tournament and the two meet in the opening match. It\u2019s the first time they\u2019ve qualified since 2006, where they were eliminated in the group stages, losing twice and drawing once. They have a relatively unknown squad, but striker Mohammad Al-Sahlawi has been training with Manchester United ahead of the tournament. Coach Juan Antonio Pizzi has also selected three players who ply their trade in La Liga.<\/p>\n

Squad\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Goalkeepers:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Mohammed Al-Owais (Al-Ahli), Yasser Al-Musailem (Al Ahli), Abdullah Al-Mayuf (Al Hilal)<\/p>\n

Defenders:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Mansoor Al-Harbi (Al-Ahli), Yasser Al-Shahrani (Al-Hilal), Mohammed Al-Breik (Al-Hilal), Motaz Hawsawi (Al-Ahli), Osama Hawsawi (Al-Hilal), Omar Hawsawi (Al-Nassr), Ali Al-Bulaihi (Al-Hilal)<\/p>\n

Midfielders:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Abdullah Al-Khaibari (Al-Shabab), Abdulmalek Al-Khaibri (Al-Hilal), Abdullah Otayf (Al-Hilal), Taiseer Al-Jassim (Al-Ahli), Houssain Al-Mogahwi (Al-Ahli), Salman Al-Faraj (Al-Hilal), Mohamed Kanno (Al-Hilal), Hattan Bahebri (Al Shabab), Salem Al-Dawsari (Villarreal), Yahya Al-Shehri (Al-Nassr),<\/p>\n

Forwards:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Fahad Al-Muwallad (Levante), Mohammad Al Sahlawi (Al-Nassr), Muhannad Assiri (Al-Ahli)<\/p>\n

Fun Fact:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Their nickname, The Green Falcon, comes from the fact that the falcon is the national symbol for Saudi Arabia, as well as other Gulf nations.<\/p>\n

Odds:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 1000\/1<\/a><\/p>\n

Egypt<\/h2>\n

World Ranking:<\/strong> 31<\/p>\n

Star Player:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Mohamed Salah<\/p>\n

Coach:<\/strong>\u00a0 Hector Cuper<\/p>\n

Best Finish:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Group Stage (1934, 1990)<\/p>\n

This is Egypt\u2019s first W. Cup since 1990 and they\u2019ll be keen to show everyone what they\u2019re about, especially as their performance will be closely watched, with Mohamed Salah in their ranks. The Liverpool forward broke plenty of records in the Premier League this season and will be Egypt\u2019s star player. This group is quite open, giving them reasonably good chances of qualifying and they could be one of the surprises of this year\u2019s tournament.<\/p>\n

Squad<\/strong><\/p>\n

Goalkeepers:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Essam El-Hadary (Al Taawoun), Mohamed El-Shennawy (Al Ahly), Sherif Ekramy (Al Ahly)<\/p>\n

Defenders:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Ahmed Fathi (Al Fath), Saad Samir (Al Ahly), Ayman Ashraf (Al Ahly), Mahmoud Hamdy (Zamalek), Mohamed Abdel-Shafy (Al Fath), Ahmed Hegazi (WBA), Ali Gabr (WBA), Ahmed Elmohamady (Aston Villa), Omar Gaber (LAFC)<\/p>\n

Midfielders:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Tarek Hamed (Zamalek), Shikabala (Al Raed), Abdallah Said (Al Ahli), Sam Morsy (Wigan Athletic), Mohamed Elneny (Arsenal), Kahraba (Ittihad), Ramadan Sobhi (Stoke City), Mahmoud \u201cTrezeguet\u201d Hassan (Kasimpasa), Amr Warda (Atromitos)<\/p>\n

Forwards:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>Marwan Mohsen (Al Ahly), Mohamed Salah (Liverpool)<\/p>\n

Fun Fact:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 If Essam El-Hadary plays, he\u2019ll become the oldest player to feature at the W. Cup. The goalkeeper will be 45 years old and will surpass the record set by Faryd Mondragon, who appeared in 2014 at the age of 43 years and three days old.<\/p>\n

Odds:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 150\/1<\/a><\/p>\n

Uruguay<\/h2>\n

World Ranking:<\/strong> 21<\/p>\n

Star Player:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Luis Suarez<\/p>\n

Coach:<\/strong>\u00a0 Oscar Washington Tabarez<\/p>\n

Best Finish:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Winners (1930, 1950)<\/p>\n

There\u2019s been very little talk of Uruguay heading into the tournament, but they qualified second behind Brazil in the South American group and they\u2019ve got a fairly easy route to the semi-finals. They have plenty of attacking talent and all eyes will be on Luis Suarez, after controversial moments at the last two W. Cups. They\u2019re dark horses for this competition and cannot be written off.<\/p>\n

Squad<\/strong><\/p>\n

Goalkeepers:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Fernando Muslera (Galatasaray), Martin Silva (Vasco da Gama), Martin Campana (Independiente)<\/p>\n

Defenders:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Diego Godin (Atletico Madrid), Sebastian Coates (Sporting CP), Jose Maria Gimenez (Atletico Madrid), Maximiliano Pereira (Porto), Gaston Silva (Independiente), Martin Caceres (Lazio), Guillermo Varela (Penarol)<\/p>\n

Midfielders:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Nahitan Nandez (Boca Juniors), Lucas Torreira (Sampdoria), Matias Vecino (Inter Milan), Federico Valverde (Real Madrid), Rodrigo Bentancur (Juventus), Carlos Sanchez (Monterrey), Giorgian De Arrascaeta (Cruzeiro), Diego Laxalt (Genoa), Cristian Rodriguez (Penarol), Jonathan Urretaviscaya (Monterrey), Nicolas Lodeiro (Seattle Sounders), Gaston Ramirez (Sampdoria)<\/p>\n

Forwards:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>Cristhian Stuani (Girona), Maximiliano Gomez (Celta Vigo), Edinson Cavani (PSG), Luis Suarez (Barcelona)<\/p>\n

Fun Fact:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Uruguay hosted the first ever W. Cup and both stadiums are still used for matches today.<\/p>\n

Odds:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 23\/1<\/a><\/p>\n
