#1 Portugal
The European Champions are one of the most under-rated teams in the competition. Portuguese football has always been about the individuals like Luis Figo and Cristiano Ronaldo.
However, they have assembled quite a remarkable set of players this time. Players like Bernardo Silva, Cedric Soares and Gelson Martins have been impressing with their clubs and would be looking forward to deliver at the big stage now.
Not to mention, the best forward in the game, Cristiano Ronaldo, who could be heading to his final World Cup, on his day, he doesn't need much help to turn the odds in his team's favor.
Portugal has a challenging group in the form of Spain, Iran and Morocco. Their fairy-tale triumph in the Euro 2016, have left them high on spirits.
It doesn't need a master-mind to say that this team cannot be written off yet again.
Which of these teams could spring a surprise at the World Cup? Sound off in the comments section!
