Some say that only the best teams go to the World Cup, while others affirm that it’s always the same ones.
What is for sure is that besides these two categories, there are surprise selections, those teams who no one expects or knows if they will give any surprises at such a high level competition.
But it will be precisely these teams which will ensure that the Brasils and Germanies of the championship will not take for granted their own teams, even if they are the favorites.
Carlos Alberto Pariera, current South Africa coach and champion with Brasil during the 1994 U.S. Cup, declared that in this Cup, “there is no team of death.” And he seems to be right, since at first glance, the teams appear to be even.
The expectation is great, and the coaches already submitted their lists of 23 players, the protagonists who will give a show on the field. Now all that remains is to hope that the referees will also contribute to it.
Let’s see how the competition is among the groups for this World Cup in South Africa.
