In the world cup there are the so called "good" teams like Brazil, Italy and other European teams. Then there are the underdogs that people don't expect much from (Togo, Korea, ect). What constitues this "good" team? Are those start players like Ronaldo born with some magic skill that Aussie players don't possess?
what would it take for the underdog teams to win? will it ever be possible?

A good team possesses; a great defense, a great offense , great attackers and most of all great goal scorers. The world as it is, look at a good team as one that made prior presence at the world cup. Sometimes the underdog teams can pull an upset in world cup if given the chance. The referee almost always, will favor the historical team (s) no matter how bad they play.

The strength or weakness of a team is based on who is playing for the team. History has very little to do with it.
Most of the players in the World Cup are playing in various professional leagues around the world. Based on their play, we know who the best players are. And the countries that have the best players will usually have the best team.
The better players are bigger, faster, quicker, stronger, jump higher and playing at a higher level than players who aren't so good.
However, when they play a game, the favorite doesn't always win, and there is an element of luck that comes into play. Think of a penalty kick. Many times, the goalie will 'guess' which way the ball is going to be kicked. If he guesses right, he makes a save. If he guesses wrong, it's a goal. If a team gets more quality scoring chances by its play, it usually translates into more goals. But not always.
Other things, such as penalties, injuries, misplays, etc, can temporarily open things up for an underdog team to attack a favored team. It's possible. But underdog teams usually need to have a lot more 'breaks' in order to defeat a favored team.

Soccer is game where anything can happen. Many people call it a fluke when underdog teams win teams like Brazil, Italy, etc.
Teamwork and the understanding of each other, in my opinion, is the most important thing when making a good team. Of course you need to know the basics like passing, shooting, etc. But most all teams know how to those things. Tricks i think is not very importnat in a soccer match. It may be entertaining, but good passing and shooting might be better, Headers. I think brazil is very united and each player knows each other, i think thats why they're very successful.

Teams with a past history in the world cup constitute a good team, also teams that have made it further in the past. There are some new teams into the world cup which weren't considered good just because they haven't proven themselves in the world cup, however sometimes they surprise us like Ukraine did this year, they're a relitively new team and they lost their first world cup game 4 - 0 and made world cup history in making it to the quarter finals.

They are just the teams with the historical presence in the World Cup.
