Group F is made up of defending champions Italy, South American hopefuls Paraguay, Europeans Slovakia and minnows New Zealand. Italy of course, should top this group with ease, but second place appears to be between Paraguay and Slovakia. New Zealand will hope to cause some shocks though.

Italy usually start World Cups slowly though, so it will be interesting to see if this continues against what are, on paper, much weaker sides. We’ve profiled all the teams in Group F.
