Uruguay
Uruguay put up a great performance in the World Cup four years ago, eventually finishing fourth. With the World Cup being played in South America this time around Uruguay should have an advantage over many teams.
Uruguay should be amongst the most entertaining teams at the World Cup, they have some great attacking players such as Luis Suarez and Edinson Cavani but they are not so good at the back which should result in some high scoring matches. It is their defensive problems that could be their undoing in the latter stages.
