World Cup 2014: 5 Teams That Could Surprise

2. Colombia

Any team featuring Radamel Falcao needs to be feared. It's not just Falcao that the other 31 teams should be wary of though. They finished just two points behind Argentina in qualifying and finished second overall. Other star players include the experienced defenders Mario Yepes and Luis Perea, while in midfield there is the creativity of James Rodriguez. Teo Gutierrez will partner Falcao up front and is an ideal partner for the Monaco ace. Falcao gives defenders sleepness nights on his own but with Gutierrez alongside there's even more to worry about. Colombia can really push at the World Cup next year. Top seeds and a South American tournament will pay hugely in their favour. This team can push far into the knockout rounds, surprising a few on the way and making for some great viewing.
