Doing a Leicester

Day -774. WorldCup2018‬

After tomorrow, "doing a Leicester" might become a commonly used saying. Will any team at Russia 2018 "do a Leicester". South Korea and Turkey were the last countries that probably qualified as underdogs that came closest, reaching the semifinals in 2002. Didn't Pele once say that an African team would win the World Cup by (when did he say) 2000? Still waiting? And the Americans? They said they were going to win it soon. China, as you may remember,are being a bit more realistic. Their target is 2050. Who will be the Leicester of 2018? Colombia? Czech Republic? Ghana? England? Don't laugh because you know England doing well at a World Cup is always a surprise.
