Portugal     5/6                                           Portugal    19/1
Mexico      13/10                                        Mexico       38/1

Portugal:
Blend a World Cup winner coach with an excellent defender, two outstanding midfielders and a striker that makes eyebrows rise and you will have both Portugal and a serious contender for the world title in Germany' 06

Mexico:
Mexico can consider itself lucky. Placed alongside Portugal, Angola and Iran in Group D, it has a fair chance to make it to the second stage. It will not be a surprise: Mexico is a solid squad

Angola:
21 years after its firs attempt, Angola will be playing its first World Cup. Leaded by captain Akwa, the African squad has finished a job that started back in 1984

Iran:
Even tough the presence of Iran in the World Cup might be regarded as exotic, it is not. The Asian side failed to play the Korea and Japan' 02 tournament, but it was present in two previous World Cups (1978 and 1998). They are ready to show something to the watching world
