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?

This week we're joined by Aaron Nielsen, RNO's statistics and analytics expert to discuss the CAF (African) and AFC (Asian) regions. In Segment 1 "The First Round", we take a group-by-gorup approach to the African nations, looking at their key players, weaknesses they may have and take a particularly close look at the success of two nations that have chosen to go away from the foreign coaches that most teams follow in the modern game. We wrap up the show with Segment 2 " Last Call" going over the Asian region, looking at the German, Dutch and EPL influence on some of the teams, the coaching situation and how key players will impact their success.

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. As always you can let us know your thought by tweeting me directly @KamalHylton, leaving a comment underneath this post or on the Facebook Page and as of April 15th on the new War Room Sports Podcast Network.
