Not to win it, I think most of us will agree that will be one of the usual suspects.
But who is your dark horse to reach the semi-finals, or at the very least the quarter-finals?
A lot of talk pre-tournament talk about Belgium, but will they deliver?
Colombia might have been a decent bet but now they are without Falcao can they still get far?
Looking at the way the draw could pan out I quite fancy Bosnia to cause an upset or two. I can definitely see them getting to the Quarters, maybe even do what Croatia did back in 1998 and reach the last four.

Colombia and Chile would be my tips to spring a surprise.
My pick is Bosnia to get at least to the quarter finals, with Dzeko on fire.
Interesting choice. They would have to beat Portugal and also Belgium probably in the Round of 16 but they have already done that this season. My dark horse for the QFs is Columbia.
colombia are a good bet even without falcao.... but i also think ivory coast could finally do something...
Yeah England not fancied to win it but a Semi-Final place maybe.
Have France fallen so much that they are now considered a dark horse to reach the last 8?
How about Ecuador as a dark horse. They have a decent group and if they avoid Argentina in the 2nd round they could definitely make the quarters.
that's a decent shout... they are tough to beat and i expect them to get out of their group... avoid argentina in round 2 and the quarters will beckon for the swiss...
