With just six months until the 2014 World Cup gets under way, soccer fans all over the globe have a reason to start getting excited. To kick anticipation into high gear, the draw was announced on Friday, offering a clear look at the path each country will have to take toward a potential championship. 

The full draw is presented below, along with the schedule for group play. Group play begins on June 12 in Brazil and will run for two weeks. 

There are eight groups of four teams each. As the host nation, Brazil were automatically placed in Group A. The teams will face one match with each of the teams in their groups. After the three games, the top two teams in each group will advance to the knockout stage. 

Spain enter this tournament as the defending champions, and they stand a strong chance of defending that crown. However, with the emergence of young stars like Neymar, Brazil are looking to give Spain a run for their money. 

El Selecao aren't the only team with a legitimate chance to knock off Spain, though. Germany, Argentina and Colombia all enter this tournament flashing good form and will look to lay claim to being called world champs. 

While the chase for the championship gets us all to tune in, this tournament is also compelling for the opportunity it gives players to turn themselves into legends. 

Stars like Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Andres Iniesta can enhance their legacies with strong tournaments. Others like Neymar and Germany's Mario Goetze will attempt to solidify the budding perception that they are among the world's best.

It's the grandest stage of all, and fans will witness who shines the brightest in front of a global audience.
