 Ecuador shocked a lot of people by finishing third in the South American qualifiers. Coming from the South America, Ecuador were few people's choice to make it to Germany, considering the likes of Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay were challenging. But they made it to only their second World Cup finals. |  The thin Andean air wasn't the only thing playing a role in Ecuador's third-place finish with a game to spare in the competitive South American zone. Ecuador remained unbeaten at home in Quito.
Team captain and national cap-leader Ivan Hurtado (Al Arabi Cairo) and Ulises de la Cruz (Aston Villa) are Ecuador's two most famous, and dangerous, players. |
