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

Across the world, people will be squeezing into living rooms, tuning in radios and cramming into pubs to catch a glimpse of how their country is going.

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

Thus, in the case that they do get knocked out in the group stages, we have created a list of who you should barrack for based on your football team.

9. GWS

Uruguay

GWS and Uruguay have been notorious for playing aggressive football with no fear of throwing their weight around.

They are often riddled with suspensions which have cost them in the latter parts of their campaigns, including Toby Greene for the Giants and Luis Suarez, who received an infamous red card in the final minute of extra time in 2010, for Uruguay.

With that said, the feisty competitors still have an abundant crop of firepower in the form of Toby Greene and Josh Kelly for the Giants and Darwin Nunez, Suarez and Edinson Cavani for Uruguay.

The problem with their firepower, however, is the fact that it is highly reliant on others providing them with good service, something that hasn't necessarily been the case in recent times.
