      Which underdog teams do you believe could cause a fright, if any, in WC2010?

      South Africa. They put up a huge fight against Spain in the Confederations Cup.

      I'd say Ivory Coast and Serbia.

      I'd say the USA could cause a stir. They'll finish 2ND in their group of course but after that i think they could do well. I was impressed with them during Confederations Cup.

      They have that fighting spirit and togetherness about them right now.

      ^^^^Spot on.

      USA has as good a chance as any to make some noise, they're too athletic to not be in every game, same with Ghana. I also like Serbia's chances as they have talent all over the pitch.

      I expect Spain to come out of nowhere and make some noise. They could win their group and give a top team some trouble in the second round  :-*

      Chile and/or Paraguay

      Problem about Chile is that even if they qualify for the knockout stage (which I think they will), they'll get a very difficult opponent then

      Serbia can cause a stir. Great team, especially in midfield.

      Mexico, South Korea and Japan also.

      I have read a good bit about the coming World Cup and, like i said in other threads, i think Chile could be a surprise package. They play exciting football, have a good young crop of players and a very sensible experienced manager. Watch this space...

      Not so much a dark horse, but I'm going to see what odds I can get for France not qualifying from the group stages, just got a little inkling....
