Tim Vickery

He's been in Belgium for a while.

I'm surprised he's been there for so long.

It's just a fabulous defensive unit.

They don't concede goals.

They're at their time of speaking with one warm-up game to go.

They're 18 unbeaten.

They don't score.

And they're still very dependent on Ena Valencia.

former Premier League striker, scored all of their goals in 2014.

Now very, very much at the veteran stage.

No one's really emerged to take the pressure off him in terms of goal scoring.

But, and I'm sorry if this is a little bit too close to home, this is a World Cup where the Jack Charlton method of winning is possible.

You don't have to win a game.

You can just grind out results.

And any side coming up against that Ecuador defensive unit has a hard task breaking them down.

So I think Ecuador are potential dark horses.

and are back now and a little bit like Ecuador and opposite to Uruguay.

They're back on a high.

Two years ago, it looked like they had no chance.

And in came the current coach, Gustavo Alfaro.
