No. 40 Sergio Busquets, Barcelona/Spain





Why he's ranked: This has been the era of Spain's majestic, silky midfield performers, yet Busquets has emerged as a star with an entirely different skill set. Hard working, strong in the tackle and a good distributor of the ball, the 25-year-old does the gritty work that allows his teammates to shine. Expect him to form a potent holding midfield partnership with Xabi Alonso at Brazil 2014.

Claudio Villa/Getty ImagesThe well-rounded Spanish star, Sergio Busquets, has improved from four years ago.
Key stat: Led La Liga in pass completion percentage this season at 92.4 (minimum 10 games).





What the experts say: "Sergio Busquets is brilliantly authoritative in possession -- and extremely intelligent positionally, too. He's improved so much in the four years since he starred in Spain's World Cup victory, which is no great surprise considering at that point he'd only been a club regular for one season. His passing has become more incisive, and he goes haring up the pitch to shut down opponents in advanced positions to win possession quickly. Still the best defensive midfielder around." -- Michael Cox

 

[The Chill Master]

No. 39 Gianluigi Buffon, Juventus/Italy





Why he's ranked: The tagline "legend" is bestowed with a little too much gusto in modern sport, but Buffon certainly fits the bill when such accolades are handed out. He may be 36, but this rugged, commanding 2006 World Cup winner has enough medals in his collection to suggest he can still claim to be the world's finest keeper.

Maurizio Lagana/Getty ImagesEven at this age, Gianluigi Buffon is one of the best goalkeepers.
Key stat: All-time leader in caps for Italian national team (139 as of March 5, 2014).





What the experts say: "Underneath the goalkeeper jersey, you could be forgiven for thinking there is a Superman shirt. His former captain Fabio Cannavaro believed the No. 1 to be tattooed on his skin. Arguably the greatest of all-time, a sense of the man is given by another World Cup winner and former teammate, Lilian Thuram. 'Wherever Buffon decides to go, I will follow him because he gives me so much security to my back.'" -- James Horncastle

"One of the best goalkeepers in history, he is faithful to Italy's long tradition of producing quality in that position. He is the captain and the reference point for this Azzurri squad." -- Leonardo Bertozzi, ESPN Brazil

 

[The Chill Master]

No. 38 Mario Goetze, Bayern Munich/Germany





Why he's ranked: Having established himself as a superstar of the thrilling Borussia Dortmund team orchestrated by coach Jurgen Klopp, it was something of a gamble for Goetze to take his talents to Bayern Munich last summer. A moderately impressive first season suggests there is more to come for him at club level, but he remains a vital cog in the German machine.

Boris Streubel/Getty ImagesMario Goetze is a highly skilled player for Germany and a vital cog in their machine entering the World Cup.




Key stat: Made his senior team debut for Germany in November 2010 (also first time he was called-up) and became 2nd-youngest German player of all-time (18 years, 166 days old) after Uwe Seeler. Came on in his debut alongside Andre Schurrle to become the first two German players born in unified Germany.





What the experts say: "He is the most skilled and promising German player today. He combines speed and skill like few players in the world." -- Gustavo Hofman, ESPN Brazil





"Only 21, he will travel to Brazil already as one of the most important stars in the German squad. The Bayern Munich midfielder has both the skills and the personality to become the leader of his team. Joachim Loew could use him as an offensive midfielder or as a forward, and he can hurt any rival in both positions. He can form a perfect partnership with [Mesut] Ozil, [Thomas] Mueller and [Marco] Reus. This World Cup could be the launching platform towards his objective: become the best footballer in the world." -- Damian Didonato, ESPN Argentina

No. 37 Steven Gerrard, Liverpool/England





Why he's ranked: Gerrard has been at the top of his profession since making his first team breakthrough at Liverpool in 1998. Trophies and iconic performances have been carved into his Anfield legend, yet he has shown this season that he is also capable of modifying his game in the latter stages of his career; Gerrard was superb in a deeper midfield role that allowed him to dictate play.

Steven Gerrard will once again feature for England knowing full well that Brazil may be his last World Cup chance.




Key stat: Gerrard led the English Premier League with 13 assists this season, his most ever in an EPL season, and also scored 13 goals, his second-highest tally (16 in 2008-09).





What the experts say: "Now a veteran, his game has evolved. Once he was the long-limbed dynamo, gobbling up miles of grass, firing from all areas and driving his teammates forward. Now he's a deep-lying playmaker, using those same passing skills to dictate tempo and run the attack. It's a natural evolution. But the common thread is still uncanny vision coupled with natural leadership. The fact that he has reinvented himself and has reinterpreted his role is a credit to him." -- Gabriele Marcott

No. 36 Thibaut Courtois, Chelsea (Atletico Madrid) / Belgium





Why he's ranked: Courtois has been attached to Chelsea since the summer of 2011, but has yet to play a first team game for the west London club as he has developed his stellar reputation during successful loan spells with Atletico Madrid. Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has hailed Courtois as 'the best young keeper in the world' and in terms of pure shot-stopping ability, it is hard to argue with that assessment.

AllsportThibaut Courtois is still young, but he's alreadyone of the best goalkeeper in the world.




Key stat: Saved 87 percent of shots faced, the best percentage among UEFA goalkeepers to play more than five games during the final stage of qualifying.





What the experts say: "Great goalkeepers are worth points. They turn defeats into draws and draws into victories. And they do it on their own: saves are perhaps the only truly individual part of the game. His huge spider-like frame coupled with outstanding reflexes and agility helps him cover the entire goalmouth. The fact that he just turned 22 and affects an iceberg-like coolness is uncanny as well. The kid is mature beyond his years and thoroughly unfazed. Just what a manager craves." - Gabriele Marcott

BPL Table this year
1. MCFC
2. LFC
3. CFC

Ur just another jealous chelsea fan

I admit LFC were a better team overall
CHELSEA had issues with attack n we failed to achieve anything .. same 3rd place no improvement
but when it come to LFC N CFC head to head surely LFC lost it badly . Liverpool have made a great comeback to EPL no doubt .. what i don't like about them is their stubborn fans xD

He has got attitude problems. He once had a 4 match ban after disrespecting a journalist (something like that). After that Anelka fiasco, along with tensions in Euro 2012 WC, France cannot by any chance afford any internal problems here. They can't bear it. So any players with any signs of trouble aren't in.

And no, he should not be in the starting XI. Griezmann deserves it over him.

-------------------------Lloris----------------------------
Debuchy/Sagna----Koscielny---Varane-----------Evra
----------------------Matuidi-----------------------------
-------------Cabaye-------------Pogba-------------------
Griezmann----------------------------------------Ribery
-------------------Benzema/Giroud---------------------

Only way Nasri gets in is if Cabaye/Matuidi are sacrificed and he is played AM (severely weakens the defence and can get midfield overrun).

P.S. This squad is better than Belgium's.
