Forebet`s WC dark horses move on
The group stages of Mondial 2014 have ended and now the teams that advance to the knockout phase are clear. The forebet team made 3 predictions about the World Cup 2014 dark horses. Dark horses are those teams, that are not among the traditonal favorites to win the trournament.
Chile, Colombia and Belgium (our dark horses) qualified for the next round of the World Cup, after having played just their first two games of the group stage. Particularly severe was the task of the Chileans, who had to eliminate the current world champions of Spain. Colombia and Belgium did not face serious difficulties, as they both managed three wins and move forward with confidence.
Now, however, Chile will have to face the host Brazil. In view of the performance, that the Chileans have shown, they do not seem doomed to failure here, despite their huge rival. Football predictions for Chile to win in this game are rather rare. However, it is certain that Brazil will meet a very serious team, that have their chances.
Columbia demonstrated wonderful football and deservedly won the first place in their group. Now, a lot of specialists believe, that Colombia have the strength even to reach the finals of the World Cup 2014. Colombia`s opponent for the next match is definitely seriously distracted and hardly Uruguay are preparing for the game on track. Luis Suarez was banned for 9 matches and undoubtedly this will have a negative effect on their performance.
In the group stage, the team of Belgium did not reveal its full potential, but it wasn`t necessary. After 3 wins, the Belgians secured an easier opponent for the second round - USA. The Americans seem a more favorable opponent than the team of Germany.
