The Gaffer & Hooligan continues its 2014 World Cup coverage with a bit of a twist. Joined by RNO's Canadian Soccer writer and stats/analytics expert Sam Gregory we take a group-by-group approach, answering some important questions from a Statistical/Analytical perspective.

In Segment 1 "The First Round" we cover Groups A-D, amongst the questions tackled were can Chile make it out of what can be considered a "Group of Death"? and whether an out of form Shinji Kagawa is a major concern for Japan?

We wrap up the show with Segment 2 "Last Call" examining Groups E-H, dissecting questions like is Argentina's firepower going forward enough to win despite a weaker defense? and can Germany finally shed its bridesmaid tag?

To kick it off, RNO contributor and South American expert Andres Torres joins the show as we discuss the CONMEBOL (South American) and CONCACAF (North/Central American) region. In Segment 1 "The First Round", we give a quick overview of the six CONMEBOL teams (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia Ecuador and Uruguay), go over expectations, how they stack up in relation when looking at the rest of their respective groups and if there are any "Dark Horses". We wrap up the show with Segment 2 "Last Call", transitioning over to the CONCACAF region and looking at it in the same fashion, whether the conditions in Brazil help will be an advantage and if the region is underrated.
