World cup dark horses

[Suomifinland]

Apologies if done before but who's your dark horses for WC? I'm talking none of the obvious big sides & dont have to win it, but do very well (semis or final maybe).

For me...

1. Uruguay. CB partnership play together at club level & got 150 caps between em. Plus Suarez & Cavani up front.

2. Sweden. Utter bastards to beat. Dull as dishwater but could grind results out like they did against Italy

Brazil

Croatia. Very good midfield.

Sweden wont even win one match in the world cup

England

Egypt

England

I think they'll do well. But get Brazil or Germany i think in quarters if ive worked it out right...

Peru

They finished 2nd in a qualifying group with France & Holland in then beat Italy in the playoffs...

Argentina strong squad

Peru

These seem to be the hipsters' choice

Costa Rica

I know they weren't too impressive on Saturday, but I think Nigeria could do well.

Peru

They'll be the hipsters choice after the group stages. Can see the possession stat RT's already.

Just flicked through the group's and think they could get out in second.

Some expert writers seem to think Nigeria are pretty strong all over. They need either Argentina or Croatia to fuck up to get out of group mind.

Scotland.

Peru decent shout i reckon. Sort of team that you've heard of none of players then find out they all play in good Europa league sides eg Sevilla.
