It's the first of our eight World Cup group previews.

Today we hit Group A: Russia, Uruguay, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia

We preview each team by asking four questions:

1. Who's the player to watch?

2. Why will this team advance from the group?

3. Why won't this team advance from the group?

4. And why should I cheer for them?

**Quick note: this episode was recorded before the Champions League Final and the injury to Mohamed Salah
