Group A sees host nation South Africa, CONCACAF kings Mexico, South American upstarts Uruguay and European heavyweights France battle it out to make it to the knockout stage.
South Africa as hosts will expect to do well and even with France as the biggest team in the group, it still all looks very weide open. Group A could see France flop, South Africa soar, Mexico march and and Uruguay to a U-turn back home. It really is all up for grabs.
