The World Cup is by far and away the most famous and most popular sporting competition on the globe.

Unfortunately for the Socceroos, they have been dealt a difficult group, making their chances of advancing to the knockout stage unlikely once again.

6. Fremantle 

Denmark 

Fremantle and Denmark are both in as exciting a position as they have been for a very long time.

Against all odds, both sides managed to go way further than anyone expected in their previous campaigns, with both making it through to the semi-finals.
