The World Cup is by far and away the most famous and most popular sporting competition on the globe.
Across the world, people will be squeezing into living rooms, tuning in radios and cramming into pubs to catch a glimpse of how their country is going.
Unfortunately for the Socceroos, they have been dealt a difficult group, making their chances of advancing to the knockout stage unlikely once again.
Thus, in the case that they do get knocked out in the group stages, we have created a list of who you should barrack for based on your football team.
10. Hawthorn
Spain
Whilst Hawthorn and Spain are currently at quite different ends of the spectrum in terms of performance, they have an unbelievably similar past.
Just before Hawthorn won their three-peat, Spain went won a three-peat of their own winning three major international competitions in a row from 2008 to 2012.
In their famous eras, both sides had an all-time great midfield trio with Luke Hodge, Sam Mitchell and Jordan Lewis on the ball for the Hawks, whilst Xavi, Andres Iniesta and Sergio Busquets were controlling games on their own for Spain.
Furthermore, they are both in a very similar stage in that they have some terrific young players coming through that will need about four years before reaching the ultimate glory.
