Of course, the biggest question is, who will win? Colombia is feeling a little shaky with injured Radamel Falcao out of the World Cup in Brazil, but it still has the strongest team that the nation has seen in twenty years. Colombia entered the World Cup ranked in the top five teams so there definitely some hope to have a good long run for the Colombian team.

Colombia has a sad story linked to the World Cup. In the nineties, the football club, as well as the entire nation was run by cocaine cartels that got rich through the international drug exports. According to Scott Wilson of the Washington Post, the story went like this for a player called Andres Escobar:

"Known as the "gentleman of football," Andres Escobar was a choir boy on a colorful national team. On June 22, 1994, Colombia lined up against the United States during a group stage match. An internationally coveted defender, Escobar tried to cut out a cross from U.S. midfielder John Harkes, accidentally knocking it into his own goal."

"Colombia lost the game and crashed out of the tournament early. Less than two weeks later, in a Medellin parking lot, he was shot a dozen times by a bodyguard of a cartel leader who allegedly lost money on the game."

"Even by Colombia's then-horrifying standards of violence, the "own goal" murder shocked the national conscience. Tens of thousands protested the killing and the government moved to take narco-money out of the Colombian game."

Hopefully no tragedy like this will play out during this year's World Cup in Brazil, although there have already been protests and criticisms around Brazil's handling of the slums and construction plans. Greece is definitely the underdog of the game and it will be interesting to see what the small, economically suffering country will be able to achieve this World Cup 2014.
