There is no such thing as an easy win at the World Cup, but there will certainly be a few matchups that are more favorable than others. 

Each group at Brazil will feature one team from each of the four pots, which is shown by ESPN's Paul Carr:

The extra squad from Pot 4 will simply be placed in the leftover group for Pot 2, thus completing the eight groups of four.

Obviously, this will create some competitive groups between seeded teams, European powers and more. This makes it much more important for each squad to hope for a favorable draw.

While every match will still be tough, these teams represent the best-case scenario for everyone heading into the draw.

Pot 1: Switzerland

Switzerland earned a seeded spot in the draw after climbing up to No. 8 in the FIFA World Rankings. This was thanks to a strong showing in UEFA qualifying where they went unbeaten in 10 matches.

However, it is important to note that this was a weak group, with Iceland finishing in second place. Advancing beyond this point is an achievement, but it is not something that puts them in a class with the best in the world.

Meanwhile, Switzerland have not excelled at major international events and are rarely a top contender. The team also does not have many elite players that will scare the competition.

This talented squad has a chance to go deep into the tournament, but this is easily the weakest of the seeded teams in Brazil.

Pot 2: Cameroon

While Cameroon have had some good squads over the years, they have not done much recently. Fortunately, they were able to come through with a strong showing against Tunisia in the playoff to earn a bid to the World Cup.

Still, this is the ninth-ranked team from Africa, and they did not even qualify for the two most recent Africa Cup of Nations tournaments.

There is certainly talent on the roster, starting with Samuel Eto'o and Alex Song, but the lack of success is concerning heading into a major tournament like this.

Of course, few World Cup participants would be upset to see Algeria in their group either. 

Pot 3: Iran

Australia and South Korea would certainly qualify as favorable matchups for most teams around the world, and the rankings would back this up. However, Iran might be the weakest squad in the field. 

Despite finishing with the most points in Asian qualifying, Iran will have a hard time scoring at this level. They only had eight goals in eight matches in the final round against relatively weak competition, and they do not have players who are able to create opportunities for themselves.

Additionally, few members of the squad compete in high-level leagues during the year, and lack of experience will hurt on the international stage.

Considering Iran have only won a single match in their World Cup history, it is hard to expect much more success this time around. 

Pot 4: Croatia

Most of Pot 4 is tough, which is likely to create some difficult groups. Teams like France, the Netherlands or Italy can combine with one of the seeded squads to form some exciting battles.

However, Croatia represent a best-case scenario for those forced to play their way out of the group stage.

The team tied with Greece for the fewest goals in qualifying for a team that eventually earned a World Cup bid, scoring 12 in 10 matches. Unfortunately, the defense was also inconsistent and can be beaten by a good attack.

Russia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and even England are also among the weaker squads in the pot, but there might not be a weaker matchup in Europe than Croatia.
