KLINSMANN PREDICTS ‘WC OF SURPRISES’

German legend Jurgen Klinsmann said that an underd could go far in what he is predicting will be a “World Cup of surprises”. The change from the usual June-jul slot means this World Cup falls in the middle of the club season in Europe, where the majority of leading players are based. “I think this could be a World Cup of surprises because if some of the underdogs — maybe i it’s an African nation, if it’s an Asian team — are courageous I think you can go actually far,” Klinsma said in Doha.
