OK.I've seen it shortly before and edited my post.
I'm going to call Group H as our "group of death" xD
Four real-life countries which all have high-profile music scenes, commonly seen in NSC
(England and USA especially of course, but we can see Korea and Japan are popular and on the rise too)
And four NSC nations which have had very good records in the contest
(As the "top 8" of the group, Bokia is already known as being capable of producing successful music; Waloria enjoyed considerable success in the past as Qele, with few final-misses; Horehronieland has scored 2 top6s already in 3 participations; And Ametan, expert in its selected country's music, and not to be underestimated)
This is all done without looking at what the actual songs sent are, so it could all be horribly wrong xD I think I'll do pre-song predictions for the other groups too

Dying to hear what you have to say about me.
I was going to compile a list of odds for each country to win the cup at some point too Which was also going to be based on real-life and NSC countries alone, not the songs These group predictions look cool though, go ahead with that

This is one of the few songs in Romanian that I like!
I'll get started with my pre-song predictions then, posting them over the course of this evening!
GROUP A:
HALITO
-se 10 REGIONS OF MOBIUS
YAPONESIA
KUKI-Q
This NSC World Cup contest takes an Africa-heavy start, and we begin with perhaps the most obscure group in terms of real countries, with Sweden being a clear frontrunner in terms of NSC popularity (I believe this is the first time we've ever seen songs from the other three countries in NSC!)
All four NSC countries have seen a variety of entries and results (some with considerably more success than others ) Again, 10 Regions of Mobius has probably had the most success on the whole (despite being the newest), though Halito has definitely picked up in recent years despite their rough history, with a victory and several top10s. Kuki-Q is renowned as an NSC underdog, but perhaps this can be disproved in this football format!
[center:iumk0yxw]Pre-song Prediction:
10 REGIONS OF MOBIUS
HALITO
------------------------
KUKI-Q
YAPONESIA
On paper, 10 Regions of Mobius could be very well set up to gain maximum points in this group, though of course that depends on the song chosen The remaining three are fairly open, as African and South American music is hard to come by in NSC, but following recent success, I think the host could grab the runnerup spot, and Venezuela just edges over Madagascar, leaving us in the bottom of the group But due to its openness, this could be a contender for the "group of life" so who knows![/center:iumk0yxw]
I'll post Group B in about an hour!

But they are forbidden in Horehronieland...
But because of NSC World Cup they will be enabled until end of NSC World cup
GROUP B:
COMINO
-ee QUIÉNDQ
KINGDOM OF ERÅS
NUKULAND
As previously mentioned, yet another Africa group xD However, this time we have seen some South African music in NSC before, and we know that of all the countries in Africa, South Africa quite often presents the most 'western' music scene, and could very well be a contender with popular NSC styles. Estonia would again be the European frontrunner of the group, but little is known about Chile and, in particular, the tiny Cape Verde. These entries should be interesting!
In terms of NSC countries, this is a young group featuring three who debuted (or will debut) after NSC 40, and thus haven't managed to fully show everything they've got just yet. In 12 editions, QuiénDQ has proved a bit of an underdog, but could shine in a smaller group; Kingdom of Erås had their 2nd qualification this edition, but with only 5 editions in their history, it isn't much to go by, as is the case with newcomer Ergenekonland Comino on the other hand has a rich history of mixed results, with several near-victories, and as the host is a likely qualifier, in my opinion
[center:11w2t4rf]Pre-song Prediction:
COMINO
QUIÉNDQ
------------------------
NUKULAND
KINGDOM OF ERÅS
I initially had Estonia leading, but as it's easy to fall into the trap of constantly predicting European victories, I'll go for a close South African victory for this group Chile and Cape Verde are both unknowns real-country-wise, and unknowns NSC-wise, both represented by new nations, so they can easily prove this naive prediction wrong [/center:11w2t4rf]

Vuvuzelas are ready for the debut of Berceiland in NSC World Cup!
GROUP C:
-kz ZOMBIRA
-at VIOLA PER SEMPRE
XORIENTIA
CANEDONIA
Now we have our most (and almost only) continentally diverse group, which managed to succeed in drawing both an Asian and an African country It's also one of the most open and interesting groups, featuring less prominent countries from each continent. Trinidad&Tobago and Angola are represented for the first time in an NSC event, Kazakhstan has had extremely rare appearances, and Austria is often overlooked from the dominant European countries (though frequently chosen by the Austrians within our NSC community, as the case is here).
The four NSC nations are also incredibly difficult to predict between, as they all have somewhat similar records. Both Xorientia and Zombira are renowned for their collection of silver medals, whilst Canedonia boasts the only gold in the group. Viola per Sempre have also had their fair share of top6s in the contest's history. Whilst Zombira are statistically the top dog here, the choice of song could impact everything. This group is wide open.
[center:3nh22k8k]Pre-song Prediction:
CANEDONIA
VIOLA PER SEMPRE
------------------------
ZOMBIRA
XORIENTIA
Before knowing the songs, this group is truly impossible to predict, and even after the songs are known, I have a feeling this will be one of the more close-faught ones. Zombira's strong record is offset by the more risky country choice, while Canedonia and Viola per Sempre could take the top spots with something more wide-appealing. Unfortunately, my prediction for Xorientia does forecast last places for 3 out of 5 African entries, but let's hope this will be wrong However, this group could definitely go in any direction; I might have a clearer view when I hear the songs xD[/center:3nh22k8k]
