The former Palmeiras, Chelsea and Portugal coach realized the dreams of a nation in 2002 when he guided Brazil to their fifth World Cup. A coach famous for his temper, Scolari is not afraid to ‘win ugly’, but will set his team out to attack in June – the press and public expect nothing less. Scolari boasts a fine pedigree and can add two Copa Libertadores titles to the numerous championships he has won throughout a lengthy managerial career.



Player To Watch: Neymar
The Barcelona star carries the hopes of a nation on his shoulders. Blessed with outrageous skill and trickery, Neymar has adapted well to European soccer since joining Barcelona, something that will stand him in good stead in the latter stages of the tournament. A deadly finisher and reliable provider of chances for team-mates, Neymar has few weaknesses as he impresses with a keen work-rate and willingness to fight until the final whistle.

Top 10 Football Players all time in History of World Cup

World Cup 2014 starts on 12th June in Brazil this year. Football is the no. 1 game in the world and almost 3 billion people will enjoy this World Cup 2014 by television and Internet. Here is the top 10 football players all time in History of World Cup.

1. Pele (1956-1977)

A World Cup winner in 1958, 1962, and 1970, Edson Arantes do Nascimento, to give him his full name, is generally regarded as the greatest soccer player of all time. Pele won multiple titles with Santos, with whom he played out the best years of his career, before joining the New York Cosmos for a brief spell. Scorer of 760 official goals, Pele was a superb striker and dribbler of the ball, but could also combine well with his teammates and feature prominently in the build up to goals.

2. Lionel Messi


It is not an exaggeration to say that The Atomic Flee is now challenging Pele for the crown of greatest ever soccer player and will surely surpass the Brazilian if the remainder of his career is as fruitful as the opening years. Messi joined Barcelona when he was just 13, scored on his debut at 17 and now wows the Camp Nou faithful on a regular basis with his dribbling, passing and goalscoring exploits. He broke Gerd Muller's record for most goals in a calendar year when he scored an incredible 91 in 2012.
3. Maradona (1976-1997)

Diego Armando Maradona is one of the greatest dribblers the game has ever seen. His 'Hand of God' goal against England at the 1986 World Cup and the stunning solo effort that followed sum up this flawed genius better than any words. Maradona did not always play by the rules, and confesses that his expulsion from the 1994 World Cup after testing positive for ephedrine is one of his saddest memories. But the Maradona that captained Argentina to the 1986 World Cup and helped unfashionable Napoli to Serie A titles in 1987 and 1990 was irrepressible.

4. Johan Cruyff (1964-1984)

The outspoken Dutchman excelled for Ajax and Barcelona in the 1960s and 1970s and is considered by many to be Europe’s best ever player. His name was synonymous with Rinus Michels’ "Total Football" movement whereby players interchanged positions. Cruyff was effective in both wide and central positions, and was famous for his ability to turn players. Winner of three Ballon D'Ors (European Player of the Year awards), Cruyff won eight Dutch titles and three European Cups with Ajax, and also made a controversial move to bitter rivals Feyenoord.

5. Franz Beckenbauer (1964-1984)

"Der Kaiser is the only man to captain and manage his side to World Cup victory. In the early 1970s, the German revolutionised the game with his switch from central midfield to an attacking sweeper role where he would dictate play from the back by dribbling the ball out of defense and joining in his team’s attacks. He enjoyed his best years with Bayern Munich, where he won five Bundesliga titles and three European Cups, but he also spent time with Pele at the New York Cosmos.

6. Michel Platini (1973-1987)

A star with Nancy, St-Etienne and Juventus, Platini was a European champion for club and country after winning the 1984 European Championship with France and the European Cup the following year with Juventus. One of the best passers in soccer history and an expert free-kick taker, the attacking midfielder scored nine goals in that 1984 triumph.


7. Alfredo Di Stéfano (1943-1966)

Di Stéfano's achievement of scoring in five consecutive European Cup finals is unlikely to ever be matched. Born in Argentina to Italian immigrants, but playing internationally for three different teams, Di Stéfano's career was nothing if not cosmopolitan. A player of exceptional fitness levels, the Saeta rubia (blond arrow) was instrumental in Real Madrid's dominance in the 1950s, although the history books could tell a very different story if he had joined Barcelona instead of the Merengues in 1943.


8. Ferenc Puskás (1944-1966)

One of the best strikers ever, Puskas averaged nearly a goal a game at club and international level. He was a prominent member of the great Hungary team of the 1950s, known as the Mighty Magyars. Puskas was top league scorer with Real Madrid on four occasions, and scored seven goals in two European Cup finals. He won five league titles with Budapest Honvéd before moving to Real in 1958 and winning another five. The inside-left also boasts three European Cups.

9. Eusébio (1958-1978)

"The Black Panther" is considered Portugal’s greatest ever soccer player. Scorer of nine goals at the 1966 World Cup finals, Eusébio possessed explosive pace and deceptive ability. The forward turned out for a host of teams, but his best years were spent with Benfica where he averaged more than a goal a game. Eusébio told World Soccer magazine in 2010 that he signs photographs of himself every night to give to children the following day.


10. George Best (1963-1984)

Like Maradona, Best enjoyed the luxuries that his profession afforded him, and it was his alcohol addiction that contributed to his death in 2005. On the pitch he had a devastating combination of pace, skill and finishing that should have brought more than two league titles and one European Cup with Manchester United. Best played as a winger or attacking midfielder and had the ability to dribble past defenders as if they were not there. Like several other players on this list, Best also plied his trade in America in the 70s and 80s.

Australia 2014 World Cup Squad, Players Profile, Team Info

Australia is very hard working and united team in this World Cup 2014. I am hopeful that they will qualify 2nd round in 2014 World Cup..

Australia 2014 World Cup Squad:


Goalkeepers: Mark Birighitti (Newcastle Jets), Eugene Galekovic (Adelaide United), Mitchell Langerak (Borussia Dortmund), Mat Ryan (Club Brugge).

Defenders: Jason Davidson (Heracles Almelo), Ivan Franjic (Brisbane Roar), Curtis Good (Dundee United, on loan from Newcastle), Ryan McGowan (Shandong Luneng Taishan), Matthew Spiranovic (Western Sydney Wanderers), Alex Wilkinson (Jeonbuk Hyundai), Luke Wilkshire (Dinamo Moscow), Bailey Wright (Preston North End).

Midfielders: Oliver Bozanic (Luzern), Mark Bresciano (Al Gharafa), Joshua Brillante (Newcastle Jets), James Holland (Austria Vienna), Mile Jedinak (Crystal Palace), Massimo Luongo (Swindon Town), Matthew McKay (Brisbane Roar), Mark Milligan (Melbourne Victory), Tommy Oar (Utrecht), Tommy Rogic (Melbourne Victory), Adam Sarota (Utrecht), James Troisi (Melbourne Victory), Dario Vidosic (Sion).

Forwards: Tim Cahill (New York Red Bulls), Ben Halloran (Fortuna Dusseldorf), Josh Kennedy (Nagoya Grampus 8), Matthew Leckie (FSV Frankfurt 1899), Adam Taggart (Newcastle Jets).
Possible Australia Starting Line-Up
                                                        4-3-3

                                                          Ryan

                                 Franjic  McGowan  Spiranovic  Davidson

                                           Milligan Jedinak Bresciano

                                             Leckie     Cahill      Oar
The Coach: Ange Postecoglou

The new man has a number of issues he needs to address, primarily the regeneration of an ageing squad. Postecoglou likes his teams to press and dominate possession, although the latter will be hard to achieve against what will be high caliber opposition in Brazil. Postecoglou will be expected to get his team fighting, with a heroic group stage exit probably deemed acceptable in the knowledge that the squad lacks quality in key areas.
Player to Watch: Tim Cahill

Almost certain to be Cahill’s last World Cup, the New York Red Bulls midfielder will want to go out with a bang. Cahill epitomizes the Aussie spirit that was missing under Osieck and has had no problem finding the net since his move to the US. In a squad that will feature several younger players, Postecoglou will be looking to Cahill to provide leadership out in Brazil.
Group Matches:

Friday 13th June v Chile (18:00 local time in Cuiaba)
Wednesday 18th June v Holland (13:00 local time in Porto Alegre)
Monday 23rd June v Spain (13:00 local time in Curitiba)
Prediction: Group Stage

USA 2014 World Cup Squad, Match Fixtures, Team Profile and Basic Info


USA is one of the best team in North American Zone but their team speed is not enough to qualify Quarter final stage in this 2014 World cup. Klinsmann tries his best and US Soccer team beat Turkey in their last friendly match. So I think, This Brazil World Cup 2014, US Team will be perform better than last world cup.


Quick Facts:

    Best World Cup Result: Third (1930)
    Best CONCACAF Gold Cup Result: Winners (1991, 2002, 2005, 2007, 2013)
    Record Scorer: Landon Donovan (57)
    Most Capped Player: Cobi Jones (164)
    Coach: Jurgen Klinsmann
    Captain: Clint Dempsey

23-man USA 2014 World Cup Squad:

Goalkeepers: Brad Guzan (Aston Villa), Tim Howard (Everton), Nick Rimando (Real Salt Lake).

Defenders: DaMarcus Beasley (Puebla), Matt Besler (Sporting Kansas City), John Brooks (Hertha Berlin), Geoff Cameron (Stoke City), Timmy Chandler (Nürnberg), Omar Gonzalez (LA Galaxy), Fabian Johnson (Borussia Mönchengladbach), DeAndre Yedlin (Seattle Sounders FC).

Midfielders: Kyle Beckerman (Real Salt Lake), Alejandro Bedoya (Nantes), Michael Bradley (Toronto FC), Brad Davis (Houston Dynamo), Mix Diskerud (Rosenborg), Julian Green (Bayern Munich), Jermaine Jones (Besiktas), Graham Zusi (Sporting Kansas City).

Forwards: Jozy Altidore (Sunderland), Clint Dempsey (Seattle Sounders FC), Aron Johannsson (AZ Alkmaar), Chris Wondolowski (San Jose Earthquakes)
The Coach: Jurgen Klinsmann

A World Cup and European Championship winner during his playing days, former German international Klinsmann was a real coup for the USA when he was hired back in 2011. Having led his country at their home World Cup in 2006, he had an unsuccessful season at Bayern Munich before crossing the Atlantic.

He has grown frustrated with the lack of European soccer being played by those within his squad, but the impressive form of his team through 2012 and 2013 earned Klinsmann a contract renewal up to 2018, demonstrating the confidence in him that the USA currently have.
Player to Watch: Michael Bradley

Highly talented midfielder who provoked quite a stir in his homeland back in January following his return to the MLS, leaving Serie A side A.S. Roma to join Toronto. Bradley can certainly be labelled a journeyman, following spells in Holland, England and Italy, but it will be hoped that he finds a long term home and shines in the MLS, despite the fact that he could clearly be playing in a far tougher league.

He played every minute of the USA’s 2010 campaign, and is an energetic, committed midfield general who has shown throughout his career that he does possess an eye for goal.

The partnership he has formed with combative teammate Jermaine Jones will be crucial for Klinsmann’s side if they are to have any chance of progressing from their nightmare group. If they were to make it into the last 16, it may well be that top European sides begin to consider a move for Bradley once more.
Group Matches:
Monday 16th June v Ghana (Natal)
Sunday 22nd June v Portugal (Manaus)
Thursday 26th June v Germany (Recife)
Prediction: Group Stage

France 2014 World Cup Squad: Ribery is the key Player

                                                   Pogba  Matuidi

                                      Griezmann   Cabaye      Ribery

                                                        Benzema

The Coach: Didier Deschamps

The former defensive midfielder spent the best years of his career with Juventus in Italy. It was he who guided the club out of Serie B after their relegation due to their part in the Calciopoli scandal that rocked Italian soccer in 2006. The former Monaco and Marseille boss took on the France job in July 2012 just before the World Cup qualifying campaign and earned a contract extension until 2016 after guiding Les Bleus through the play-offs.

Player to Watch: Franck Ribery

The Bayern Munich star has played the best soccer of his career over the last two years and was narrowly edged out in the voting for the 2013 Ballon d’Or, much to his frustration. Ribery boasts skill and technique in abundance together with excellent workrate. Ribery has disappointed in major tournaments in the past, but now at the peak of his career, the 2014 World Cup represents a genuine opportunity to stamp his mark on the world stage.

Group Matches:
Sunday, June 15, 2014 v Honduras (Porto Alegre)
Friday, June 20, 2014 v Switzerland (Salvador)
