5 teams that can be 'dark horses' in the FIFA World Cup - 2018

#4 Poland

Poland will be looking to bring back the good old days.

Poland booked their return to the FIFA World Cup after a 12-year absence, topping European Group E in their final game, to head to their seventh edition of the tournament. The two times bronze medalists (1974,1982) will be looking to bring back their good days in world football.

It is certainly not a long shot for them, with the talents they have in their squad. With 16 goals in ten appearances, the Polish Captain - Robert Lewandowski was the top scorer in Europe's 2018 world cup qualifiers.

Poland, who are ranked 7 in the world, will consider themselves to be favorites to go through from Group H, where they will be accompanied by Columbia, Japan and Senegal. Their possible round of 16 opponents are England and Belgium. Determined to reflect the ranking in their performance, Poland will give a tough time for their opponents.

Poland will depend heavily on Lewandowski to be their savior, but going by his track record it is not something he shies away from.
