World Cup 2014: 5 Teams That Could Surprise

1. Belgium

I almost left this side out of the article simply for how superb they've been. Frankly, it's debatable putting them as a 'surprise' for next Summer. The Belgian's squad in astonishing. In goal they have Simon Mignolet and Thibaut Courtois to choose from, which provides a headache in itself. Defenders on the books include Manchester City's Vincent Kompany, Athletico Madrid's Toby Alderwereld, Bayern's Daniel Van Buyten, Spurs' Jan Vertonghen and Arsenal's Thomas Vermaelen. In midfield there's the likes of Fellaini, Witsel, Dembele, Chadli and Hazard. Moving up-front, we see Benteke, Lukaku, Mirallas Dries Mertens. Yikes. Top-seeded, unbeaten in qualifying and with an array of stars at their disposal. Belgium will be optimistic of their chances this year. The other 31 teams need to be careful. The Belgians are on the prowl.
