Group H — Spain, Uruguay, Saudi Arabia, Cape Verde
Group H is the most lopsided group of the tournament — a 67-place ranking gap between top and bottom. Spain should reach the round of 32 comfortably; the more interesting story is the fight for second and the third-place slot, where any of the lower-ranked sides could surprise.
