Two-thirds of the Group Stage of WC 2014 has been completed, and it continues it's superb run, with plenty of goals and very few scoreless draws.

Plenty of surprises have come in this round of matches, with some teams already having packed their bags and booked their tickets for their trip home. None more surprising than the defending champions, Spain, who looked completely out of sorts from their 2010 heydays. Another strong favorite exiting was England, who did very little to boost their chances in their two matches.

Let's see how the teams are performing:-

Red Hot! - The Netherlands, France, Chile, Columbia, Costa Rica.

Winning, Need Improvement - Brazil, Germany, Argentina, Belgium, Mexico, Nigeria, USA.

Still A Chance - Uruguay, Portugal, Croatia, Switzerland, Ghana, Japan, Greece, Honduras, Iran, Russia, Korea Republic.
