Greece

Greece will be appearing in just their second World Cup finals, hoping to make it out of the first round and better their performance at USA 94.

They have a wily operator in German coach Otto Rehhagel, who led the side to their shock triumph in the 2004 European Championships and is one of the longest-serving managers in world football at present.

He is known for his cautious approach to matches, so don't expect a flurry of goals when Greece are playing, but they will be difficult to beat.
