Who does everyone think are the biggest surprises among the non-qualifiers?

As I predicted in the 2nd post of this topic CROATIA are one of the biggest surprise non-qualifiers for South Africa 2010. The other big surprises were RUSSIA & TURKEY.
These were the three countries which surprised alot of people at EURO 2008 by doing very well & all three playing beautiful attacking football in that tournament.

The surprise teams which qualified were Slovakia & Slovenia in my opinion. Republic of Ireland were very unlucky to not qualify in the end along with Bosnia-Herzegovina whom I enjoyed watching play some very good football.
