This is the fifth post in a ****** previewing the World Cup's eight groups. Read Group A (http://mashable.com/2014/05/20/world-cup-preview-group-a/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_medium=feed&utm_source=rss), Group B (http://mashable.com/2014/05/20/world-cup-preview-group-b/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_medium=feed&utm_source=rss), Group C (http://mashable.com/2014/05/21/world-cup-preview-group-c/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_medium=feed&utm_source=rss) and Group D (http://mashable.com/2014/05/21/world-cup-preview-group-d/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_medium=feed&utm_source=rss); then check back later this week for looks at groups F, G and H.
