4 dark horses going into the FIFA World Cup 2018

The FIFA World Cup - football's grandest stage

#1 Australia

The Socceroos!

Australia has seen its national football (soccer) squad improve in leaps and bounds over the last decade. In fact, its national team or Socceroos as they’re known down under have managed to qualify for every FIFA World Cup since 2006. Prior to that they only managed to qualify in 1974.

In the 2014 World Cup, the Socceroos found themselves in Group B where they faced some tough competition in the form of The Netherlands, Chile and Spain.

Although the side failed to win a single game and scuppered its World Cup aspirations, many fans believe the Socceroos have a far better chance of making it through the group stage this year when they face France, Peru and Denmark.

While France is a formidable team, Australia should be equally match against Peru and Denmark.
