I would consider Portugal and Ukraine as pleasant surprizes. The Ukranians did what they had to go to the final phase and yes, they faced the Swiss who are not exactly a powerhouse, but a quarterfinal is not so bad for a first World Cup appearance, huh? Most would say that Portugal played on 'steroids' during the Euro 2002 because they were the host nation, but they silenced a few critics this time arround. As for the favorites that didn't make it? The Czechs - please..... I lost so much money on that game against Ghana who turned up to be not a bad team themselves.
