As what I can see there are a lot of dodgy looking squads.

I can see a outsider winning it this year.

i can see USA And ivory coast being big dark horses this year.

I know it sounds mad, but I fancy Honduras do quite well.

They have a good spine.

Serbia for the World Cup

Thats a good shout.

They are starting to recover from the break up of Serbia and Montenegro. They used to do great in World cups that I can remember.

The only downside is Vladimir Stojkovic in goal.
