When Brazil take on Croatia in the World Cup opener on June 12, they'll be hosting a side whose total market value is $459,544,500 lower than their own.

That's a massive difference, but it's nowhere near the financial disparity that some of the other tournament's matchups will showcase.

In international football, a team's "total market value" refers to the sum of their players' market values at the club level. Those values are assessed by the player's salary, stats, age, and recent performances among other things.

So considering Brazil have stars like Neymar, who's worth $88,297,440, and Thiago Silva, who's worth $58,879,040, it shouldn't come as any surprise that the Selecao are entering the World Cup with the highest total market value of any team at $718,299,900.

At the other end of the spectrum is Honduras, who rank 32nd with a total market value of $45,053,928. Again, this isn't surprising as Luis Fernando Suarez called up a squad comprised of numerous players from the country's domestic league.

Using total market values is also an interesting way of determining the World Cup's "Group of Death."

By this measure, Group D (Uruguay, Costa Rica, England, Italy) is the tournament's toughest group, with the four national teams combining for a total market value of $1,264,935,936. Group G (Germany, Portugal, Ghana, United States) is a close second at $1,250,948,520, while Group A (Brazil, Croatia, Mexico, Cameroon), valued at $1,250,502,390, ranks third.
