No. 21 Paraguay

FIFA Ranking- 30

Group F

Paraguay usually is overlooked in their region with teams like Brazil and Argentina taking most of the spotlight, while they have made some noise in competition, but this year could be different. Finding themselves in the easiest group in the World Cup they have their chance to shed their image as little brother. During qualifying they beat Brazil by the score of 2-0 and also beat and tied Argentina, two accomplishments they are looking to build on. If they get consistent midfield play they have the defense and strike force that can take them to the knockout stage maybe even win their group, but then again I wouldn't be surprised if they underachieved. Something is telling me that they will turn some heads.
