World Cup Football Daily: Groups E-H preview

With just three days to go until things kick off in Brazil, James Richardson is joined by Raphael Honigstein, Philippe Auclair and Amy Lawrence to ponder over the teams in groups E-H.

What do we learn? Well, expectations have been dampened in Deutschland due to injuries, a lack of forwards and dodgy kick off times, while the French - even without Franck Ribery - are feeling extremely chipper, but what implications will Ramadan have on their - and other teams' - Muslim players?

Plus, Jonathan Wilson takes time out from his book tour to discuss Argentina's chances, and Bjorn de Cock from benefoot.net has all the news from the Belgium camp. Could they go all the way?

Have a listen and give us your feedback on the blog below. We'll be back for the first of our nightly shows after the final whistle of Brazil v Croatia. Até então, amigos!
