Netherlands : The Darkhorses

[SCF08]

Real dark horses for me are Paraguay and Chile, way underrated I think they will surprise a lot of people.

Problem for Chile is their main man is out, Suazo.

Uruguay are the real darkhorses. Their strike force is immense with Forlan, Suarez and Cavani and they have a couple of butchers in defence with Diego Lugano and Diego Godin. Fernando Muslera is a solid goalkeeper as well.

Only part where they lack is midfield.

5 mins of ordinary time to go and its 2-1 against Brazil.

Get in !

Holland and Germany are the 2 I bet on at 12's and 14's, looking good so far :)

Can't stand the way they play but it seems to be working.

They score and then defend. I don't get why they rely on balls into the box and set pieces to score. They have a fantastic wide man in Arjen Robben eyt they just boot it upfield to RVP and expect him to hold it up and he isn't that type of player, hence why he's had a shit tournament. They have creative players like Sneijder who are having to drop deep to pick the ball up because they're not getting the service they need.

Would rather Spain or Germany win it. Two top quality attacking teams!

Lucky ... Brazil just imploded. Argentina for me now for sure.

no doubt in my mind, uruguay can beat them.
