Chile. Good coach in Marcelo Bielsa who plays attractive attacking football and have got some good young talented players in the likes of Alexis Sanchez & Matias Fernandez.

Ghana as they are from Africa.

Serbia have a pretty decent squad.

Was listening to 5Live last night and Tim Vickery was talking about the Argies and saying how it's very lazy journalism to dismiss them just because of Maradona. From what he was saying, it sounds like he's starting to sort things out and has created a real team spirit within the squad. They will be a massive threat I reckon.

Serbia could be the dark horses.

Chile & Spain will facerape them

[soggy biscuit]

On the opposite end of the scale, with regards to which big team will struggle then it is Portugal for me. Can't see them getting out of their group.

Struggled to qualify (with some comically bad results)
Beat China last month with a penlty being the only goal
Full strength team drew 0-0 with Cape Verde a few days ago

Brazil & Ivory Coast to qualify from that group

Yep, I heard it too. Team spirit is one thing, tactical nous is another. He may have the team spirit, but he's also got Championship defenders in the squad. Not good enough.

5Live was very interesting last night. Apart from Messers Dunn, Winter & Geordie dissing the entire England squad, the 'look at the World Cup' was a great listen. They spoke to correspondents from USA, Algeria and Slovenia who all pretty much agreed that they were all playing for second place in the group. The Slovenia guy had stated that he already worked out the results of the group, and that England would be putting out a reserve team for their match, as we would have already qualified - LOL

Was the US correspondent called Sean Wheelock?
