The Coach: Luiz Felipe Scolari
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

Benzema
The Coach: Didier Deschamps
The former defensive midfielder spent the best years of his career with Juventus in Italy.

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 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.

Holland 2014 World Cup Squad: Robin van Persie is key Player
Robin van Persie is the most important player for Holland in this World Cup 2014. Holland team is the runner up team in last World Cup but this year the team combination is not so good to qualify at least semi final of World Cup 2014. Robben is also the key player if he is 100% fit in this World Cup 2014.
Holland 2014 World Cup Squad
Goalkeepers: Jasper Cillessen (Ajax), Tim Krul (Newcastle), Michel Vorm (Swansea), Jeroen Zoet (PSV Eindhoven).
Defenders: Daley Blind, Joel Veltman (both Ajax), Stefan de Vrij, Daryl Janmaat, Terence Kongolo, Bruno Martins Indi, Tonny Vilhena (all Feyenoord), Karim Rekik (PSV Eindhoven - on loan from Manchester City), Patrick van Aanholt (Vitesse Arnhem), Paul Verhaegh (FC Augsburg), Ron Vlaar (Aston Villa).
Midfielders: Jordy Clasie (Feyenoord), Jonathan de Guzman (Swansea), Nigel de Jong (AC Milan), Leroy Fer (Norwich), Arjen Robben (Bayern Munich), Wesley Sneijder (Galatasaray), Rafael van der Vaart (Hamburg), Georginio Wijnaldum (PSV Eindhoven).
Forwards: Jean-Paul Boetius (Feyenoord), Memphis Depay (PSV Eindhoven), Klaas-Jan Huntelaar (Schalke 04), Dirk Kuyt (Fenerbahce), Jeremain Lens (Dynamo Kiev), Quincy Promes (Twente), Robin van Persie (Manchester United).
Possible Holland Starting Line-Up
4-3-3
Cillessen
Janmaat Vlaar Martins Indi Blind
Sneijder De Jong Van der Vaart
Robben Van Persie Lens
The Coach: Louis van Gaal
The former Ajax and Barcelona boss could start an argument in an empty room. Holland have a long standing reputation for infighting and it will be up to Van Gaal to manage the egos – Van Persie and Sneijder are just two players who share a mutual loathing for eachother - in Brazil. Now in his second stint as Holland coach, Van Gaal’s CV stands up with the best, and he would love to go out on a high - Guus Hiddink will take over for the Euro 2016 qualifiers - before returning to club soccer after the World Cup.
Player to Watch: Arjen Robben
One of the most exciting players to watch in world soccer, there are few better sights than Robben teasing and taunting his full-back before cutting in on his left foot and unleashing one of those stringing shots that often beats the goalkeeper through sheer power. With Sneijder’s influence waning, Robben will be charged with providing the creativity in Brazil.
Group matches:
Friday 13th June v Spain (16:00 local time in Salvador)
Wednesday 18th June v Australia (13:00 local time in Porto Alegre)
Monday 23rd June v Chile (13:00 local time in Sao Paulo)

Italy 2014 World Cup Squad: Mario Balotelli is the key Player
Mario Balotelli is the most attacking striker of Italy who will be the match winning player in this World Cup 2014. The Italian team is very aggressive to qualify the final in this World Cup 2014.
Italy 2014 World Cup Squad
Goalkeepers: Gianluigi Buffon (Juventus), Mattia Perin (Genoa), Salvatore Sirigu (Paris Saint Germain), *Antonio Mirante (Parma);
Defenders: Ignazio Abate (Milan), Andrea Barzagli (Juventus), Leonardo Bonucci (Juventus), Giorgio Chiellini (Juventus), Matteo Darmian (Torino), Mattia De Sciglio (Milan), Christian Maggio (Napoli), Gabriel Paletta (Parma), Manuel Pasqual (Fiorentina), Andrea Ranocchia (Inter);
Midfielders: Alberto Aquilani (Fiorentina), Antonio Candreva (Lazio), Daniele De Rossi (Roma), Claudio Marchisio (Juventus), Riccardo Montolivo (Milan), Thiago Motta (Paris Saint Germain), Marco Parolo (Parma), Andrea Pirlo (Juventus), Romulo (Verona), Marco Verratti (Paris Saint Germain);
Forwards: Mario Balotelli (Milan), Antonio Cassano (Parma), Alessio Cerci (Torino), Mattia Destro (Roma), Ciro Immobile (Torino), Lorenzo Insigne (Napoli), Giuseppe Rossi (Fiorentina)
Possible Italy Starting Line-Up
4-3-2-1
Buffon
Abate Bonucci Chiellini Criscito
Montolivo Pirlo De Rossi
Marchisio Insigne
Balotelli
The Coach: Cesare Prandelli
The former Parma and Fiorentina boss can be credited with putting the national team back into the affections of the public with his attacking mind-set, dignified approach to managing players and commitment to bringing through the next generation of Azzurri stars. Prandelli exceeded all expectations when he guided Italy to the final of Euro 2012 and he has enough quality at his disposal to take his men deep into this tournament.
Player to Watch: Andrea Pirlo
This is likely to be Pirlo’s last major tournament as he winds down a glittering career. There are few players in world soccer capable of orchestrating the rhythm of a game like the Juventus midfielder who has found a new lease of life in Turin. Azzurri fans will hope that in Marco Verratti, they have a player capable of stepping into Pirlo’s shoes, but the Paris Saint-Germain youngster has a tough act to follow.
Group Matches:
Saturday, June 14, 2014 v England (18:00 local time in Manaus)

Spain World Cup 2014 Squad: Diego Costa is the key player
Diego Costa is the match winning player for Spain in this World Cup 2014. Spain team is hot favorite to win their 2nd world cup winning mission..Torres and Xavi also create their best effort to go to final this year..
Spain 2014 World Cup Squad
Goalkeepers: Iker Casillas (Real Madrid), Pepe Reina (Napoli), David De Gea (Manchester United).
Defenders: Dani Carvajal, Sergio Ramos (both Real Madrid), Gerard Pique, Jordi Alba (both Barcelona), Cesar Azplicueta (Chelsea), Juanfran (Atletico Madrid), Javi Martinez (Bayern Munich), Raul Albiol (Napoli), Alberto Moreno (Sevilla).
Midfielders: Sergio Busquets, Xavi Hernandez, Andres Iniesta, Cesc Fabregas (all Barcelona), Xabi Alonso (Real Madrid), Ander Iturraspe (Athletic Bilbao), David Silva (Manchester City), Santi Cazorla (Arsenal), Koke (Atletico Madrid), Juan Mata (Manchester United), Jesus Navas (Manchester City).
Forwards: Diego Costa, David Villa (both Atletico Madrid), Alvaro Negredo (Manchester City), Pedro Rodriguez (Barcelona), Fernando Llorente (Juventus), Fernando Torres (Chelsea).
Possible Spain Starting Line-Up
4-3-3
Casillas
Carvajal Sergio Ramas Pique Alba
Xabi Alonso Xavi Busquets
Iniesta Costa Silva
The Coach: Vicente Del Bosque
Predecessor Luis Aragones sadly died earlier this year and it was he who ushered in this glorious period in Spanish soccer. Del Bosque has taken up the mantle and it was the former Real Madrid man who guided La Furia Roja to the 2010 World Cup and the 2012 European Championships. Can he make it four straight major tournaments in Brazil?
Player to Watch: Diego Costa
The Atletico Madrid striker may not be everyone’s cup of tea due a penchant for histrionics and stretching the rules of the game. However, he has enjoyed an outstanding season in La Liga and represents an alternative to the classic Spain striker with his aggressive style and ability to hold the ball up. Spain may end up playing with a “false nine” once again, but if they do opt for an out-and-out striker, Costa is unlikely to let them down.
Group Matches:
Friday 13th June v Holland (16:00 local time in Salvador)
Wednesday 18th June v Chile (16:00 local time in Rio de Janeiro)
Monday 23rd June v Australia (13:00 local time in Curitiba)

Germany World Cup 2014 Squad: Miroslav Klose is the key Player
Miroslav Klose focuses on highest goal scorer in 2014 World Cup for Germany. He already scored 16 goals equal to Ronaldo of Brazil. Germany team is very good position to qualify final of this World Cup 2014.
Germany World Cup Squad
Goalkeepers: Manuel Neuer (Bayern Munich), Roman Weidenfeller (Borussia Dortmund), Ron-Robert Zieler (Hannover)
Defenders: Jerome Boateng (Bayern Munich), Erik Durm (Borussia Dortmund), Kevin Grosskreutz (Borussia Dortmund), Benedikt Howedes (Schalke), Mats Hummels (Borussia Dortmund), Marcell Jansen (Hamburg), Philipp Lahm (Bayern Munich), Per Mertesacker (Arsenal), Shkodran Mustafi (Sampdoria), Marcel Schmelzer (Borussia Dortmund).

Attackers: Miroslav Klose (Lazio), Kevin Volland (Hoffenheim)
The Coach: Joachim Low
The 54-year-old can take much of the credit for the way Germany have altered their image in recent years. He has been in the job since 2006, guiding Germany to one major final and two semis. Critics point to an overly cautious approach in the big games, but Low has the chance to put down a marker in the first game against Portugal by showing that he is willing to attack the other heavyweights.
Player to Watch: Philipp Lahm
If Germany are to win their first World Cup since 1990, the Bayern Munich captain will need to be at the top of his game. Lahm is the epitome of consistency, his hard running, strong tackling and reliable distribution skills making him indispensable both domestically and for the national team.

England World Cup 2014 Squad: Rooney is the key player
The English team is much better than last World Cup as Rooney is good form and played very good in this season for Man Utd. The hope of world Cup to go to semi final stage. Rooney is the vital player to lead English team in World Cup 2014.
England World Cup Squad
Goalkeepers: Joe Hart (Manchester City), Ben Foster (West Bromwich Albion), Fraser Forster (Celtic),

This is likely to be England’s modus operandi in the humidity of Brazil. Hodgson boasts international experience after successful spells with Switzerland and Finland earlier in his career.
Player to Watch: Jack Wilshere
The Arsenal midfielder possesses the technical ability lacking in much of the squad, Rooney apart. Wilshere has the ability to dictate the tempo of a match, and fitness permitting, will form the bedrock of the England midfield for many years to come. A cultured passer of the ball who is unafraid to go in where it hurts.

Uruguay 2014 World Cup Squad: Luis Suarez is the Key Player
Uruguay is the one of the best team in South America. Last World cup 2010 Uruguay was semi finalist. So this year, They will expect more if Suarez is in good form.I think, Uruguay will well played for their unity and good passing football.
Uruguay 2014 World Cup Squad
Goalkeepers: Fernando Muslera (Galatasaray), Martin Silva (Vasco da Gama), Rodrigo Munoz (Libertad).
Defenders: Maximiliano Pereira (Benfica), Diego Lugano (West Bromwich Albion), Diego Godin, Jose Maria Gimenez (both Atletico Madrid), Sebastian Coates (Liverpool), Martin Caceres (Juventus), Jorge Fucile (Porto).
Midfielders: Alejandro Silva (Lanus), Alvaro Gonzalez (Lazio), Alvaro Pereira (Sao Paulo), Walter Gargano (Parma), Egidio Arevalo Rios (Morelia), Diego Perez (Bologna), Sebastian Eguren (Palmeiras), Cristian Rodriguez (Atletico Madrid), Gaston Ramirez (Southampton), Nicolas Lodeiro (Botafogo).
Forwards:Luis Suarez (Liverpool), Edinson Cavani (Paris St-Germain), Abel Hernandez (Palermo), Diego Forlan (Cerezo Osaka), Christian Stuani (Espanyol).
The Coach: Oscar Tabarez
The veteran is in his second spell in charge and likely to adopt a cautious game plan in Brazil. There will be much reliance on the counterattack, and the finishing abilities of Suarez and Edinson Cavani, whose workrate is impressive, whether playing through the centre or further wide. Tabarez guided Uruguay to the 2011 Copa America and fourth place in the World Cup four years ago.
Player to Watch: Luis Suarez
Who else but El Pistolero? The striker is in the form of his life. Capable of cute close range finishes and explosive strikes from distance, Suarez has everything in his locker. The Liverpool star turns defenses inside out in the penalty area, such is his subtle touch and superb dribbling ability. The only black mark against his name is a penchant for playacting.

Argentina 2014 World Cup Squad: Messi is the Key Player
Lionel Messi is the most important player and match winning also for Argentina World Cup 2014. Argentina team is the hot favorite to win FIFA World Cup 2014.
Argentina 2014 World Cup Squad:
Goalkeepers: Sergio Romero (Sampdoria), Mariano Andujar (Catania), Agustin Orion (Boca Juniors).
Defenders: Pablo Zabaleta (Manchester City), Federico Fernandez (Napoli), Ezequiel Garay (Benfica), Marcos Rojo (Sporting Lisbon), Hugo Campagnaro (Inter Milan), Martin Demichelis (Manchester City), Jose Basanta (Monterrey), Nicolas Otamendi (Atletico Mineiro).
Midfielders: Javier Mascherano (Barcelona), Fernando Gago (Boca Juniors), Lucas Biglia (Lazio), Ever Banega (Newell's Old Boys), Ricardo Alvarez (Inter Milan), Augusto Fernandez (Celta Vigo), Jose Sosa (Atletico Madrid), Angel Di Maria (Real Madrid), Maxi Rodriguez (Newell's Old Boys), Enzo Perez (Benfica).
Forwards: Lionel Messi (Barcelona), Gonzalo Higuain (Napoli), Sergio Aguero (Manchester City), Rodrigo Palacio (Inter Milan), Ezequiel Lavezzi (Paris St-Germain).
Possible Argentina Starting Line-Up
4-3-3
Romero
Zabeleta Fernandez Garay Rojo
Gago Mascherano Di Maria
Messi Higuain Aguero
The Coach: Alejandro Sabella
Having only previously managed at Estudiantes, Sabella took charge of his national side following the 2011 Copa America, and named Messi captain almost immediately. He has focused on forming a side that will allow his skipper to flourish and replicate his stunning club form on the international stage, a task that he increasingly looks close to succeeding in.
A familiar trait of his reign up to now has been a fierce loyalty to a select band of players, with top-class former internationals such as Javier Pastore, Esteban Cambiasso and Tevez having all been jettisoned in favor of Sabella’s entrusted lieutenants.
Key Player: Lionel Messi
He is Barcelona’s all-time record goal-scorer, a four-time Ballon d’Or winner and the player of a generation. Yet this summer ‘El Pulga’ is facing a pivotal summer. The line trotted out by many a pundit is that for him to be regarded as the greatest player of all time, he must get his hands on the Jules Rimet trophy.
In his prime at 26 years of age (incidentally the same age as Maradona back in ’86), captaining a side that is designed to center around him, in a World Cup in his home continent; all the pieces appear to be there for Messi to take his place among the pantheon of legends this summer. Either success or failure could prove career-defining moments.
Group Matches:
Sunday 15th June v Bosnia-Hercegovina (Rio de Janeiro)
Saturday 21st June v Iran (Belo Horizonte)
Wednesday 25th June v Nigeria (Porto Alegre)
Prediction: Semi-Finals
