The dark horse teams that can reach the final four in the World Cup basically have a super core offensive player
In '94, the dark horses Bulgaria and Sweden, their ace goalscorers a Stojkovic 7 games 6 goals Golden Boot, a Anderson 7 games 5 goals
'98 dark horse Croatia Davosuk 7 games 6 goals Golden Boot
02 dark horse Turkey (the stick does not count, the reason is understood) Ilhan 7 games and 3 goals
In '06, no dark horse reached the final four
10 years dark horse Diego Forlan Uruguay 7 games 5 goals Golden Boot
In 14 years, no dark horse reached the final four, but in the quarterfinals, Colombian Ronaldo scored six goals in five games
In 18 years, there was no dark horse to reach the final four, compared with 98, when Croatia can no longer be called a dark horse
Except for Turkey in '02, the dark horses that reached the final four all won the golden boot
Isn't it a bit subverting the impression that the knockout game relies on defense
So which team is this dark horse?
