EU surprises so far:
- Denmark and Hungary (!) in front of Portugal (EU group 1)
- Czech Republic only on place 4 in their group (EU 3)
- Bosnia-Herzegovina on place 2, four points ahead of Turkey (EU 5)
- Romania only on place 5 (!) in their group (EU 7)
- Norway on last place (!) in their group
(EU 9; did no one tell them that place 2 in this group of only 5 teams still gives you the chance to proceed to the play-off if you're among the 8 out of 9 best runner-ups?)
- France would really be in trouble right now if they hadn't an exceptional player called Franck Ribéry (he decided the last two games for his country)
- England won 5 out of 5 games in a not-so-weak group with Croatia and Ukraine; Capello seems to fit better than his two unlucky predecessors

Africa: too early to tell (but I hope Ghana and Côte d'Ivoire will win their groups)

NA: USA in the lead is no real surprise, I think Mexico only on place 4 is the real surprise at the moment (but only 3 games played until now, still 7 to go)

Asia, Oceania: no surprises, I guess

SA: close competition

A question to the South-American members:
Paraguay in the lead seems to be a surprise to me, but I'm not sure if it's really one. Where they already that strong during the past few years?

Paraguay has always been good, but they are having a great time now, better than they usually have. But no real surprises here in SA, just that Brazil and Argentina should be doing better(brazil cant seem to play good and argentina looses to countries they shouldnt)
