Im long on Africa and Sth America and short on Europe, only the bigger Euro nations to get out of their groups.
With the exception of Germany who I think are not as good as what their reputation preceeds, I think Serbia have got their measure.
IMHO the legacy of this WC will see a strong African nation make it to the semi finals.
Usually there has always been a surprise nation at the semis with the exception of the last WC - Turkey & Korea 02 , Croatia 98, Sweden & Bulgaria 94,
I would say Nigeria or Ghana cos they are in the better side of the draw after the groups.
