Germany vs. Mexico (Group F)
The first Group F match of the tournament should be a good one. The German side is mostly healthy, but goalkeeper Manuel Neuer might be a bit rusty having missed most of his Bayern Munich season because of a hamstring injury.
Mexico will be without the services of Diego Reyes for their World Cup run because of his Hamstring injury. But they can still surprise teams at times. This is one of the most anticipated group matches this year.

Brazil vs. Switzerland (Group E)
Brazil is one of the favorites to win it all this year. They have Neymar back, but will be missing defender Dani Alves due to an ACL injury. Switzerland will need to come up with some goals and be strong in the back to have a chance.
