World Cup 2014 Teams

Brazil :


-Ganso is overrated, Hernanes will play along Oscar IMO in a 4-3-3(Hernanes is a beast)
-Moura can switch with Neymar, playing a false9/trequartista
-Dede is better than any other brazilian CB(except Silva)... Luiz will be a sub.


Germany


-Oezil needs players who can play one-two's around him. Goetze, Reus and Muller/Schurrle are the best options. Thy, Gomez and Draxler will be subs.
-Piggy and Khedira will still be there, Kroos and Gundogan have to wait until 2016 for a starting spot.
-Beck is the best option for full-back, Howedes is faster than Badstuber and Hummels is a must.


Spain


-Xavi and Xabi will be past it, they'll be subs. Fabregas will play the Xavi role
-Carjaval will be a beast by 2014...
-Torres will start because there is a lack of strikers in spain and Muniain will be a great player in 2 years time. The guy can create and score, spain's Messi.

France


Italy


-Insigne can be a choice for the starting 11, depends on how SES develops.
-Chiellini will be a starter for sure, Ogbonna will be challenged by Astori IMO, even Ranocchia.
-Pirlo will be too old, Poli will take over him (Verratti will be 21)
-Santon and Criscito will be the starting full-backs IMO.

Argentina




Belgium


Portugal


Ghana can be a force too


My thoughts...

England's team?

Belguim

Dat Chelsea Chemistry will break Spain's hold on the WC!

By 2014 I think England will have hopefully changed the style of football. Plus a lot of the younger footballers should be involved.

I can pretty much assure you that Badstuber will play CB if Löw is still the coach. Both Löw and the assistant coaches consider Badstuber to play "almost perfectly as they want to see a CB play". (I can try to dig out the interview where this was said).

I really hope we will somewhere dig out a proper fullback till 2014 still. Neither of the choices (Beck, Schmelzer and all the other experiments) were really convincing so far.

I actually thought both Boateng and Bender were good enough.

Is there any young German fullback prospects?

Mitchell Weiser is considered to be the next big thing. Bayern just signed him off Köln.

Italy 2014


Poli is a bit too injury prone already at his age..Plus there were encouraging signs when Prandelli called up Veratti for the prelimnary squad for the EUROS.
Since Italy NT mostly comprises of Juventus players,it will be easy to integrate him into the squad(Provided he plays for Juventus in the future).


Germany



Spain



(*Martinez inclusion is more of a hope more than anything.If it were up to me ,i'd choose him over Busquets)

Only competitive teams yet you do Belgium.

I think you're overestimating the amount of time between now and the 2014 World Cup. It's only two years, so it's highly doubtful young players like Carjaval and Thorgan Hazard are going to be full-fledged internationals and regular starters. I also doubt that players like Xavi and Alonso will be "past it". They aren't going to lose their intelligence and technical ability in two years.

For Spain, if Arbeloa isn't a first choice in two years than surely someone like Azpilicueta will take his spot. For up front, they have Soldado and Llorente still, and that's without considering the possibility of playing a false 9, which could be Cesc or Silva.

My thoughts...

Cool Story bro

You miss spelled his name, MONTOYA
Carvajal (still needs to make an appearance for realmadrid:P but, sadly he's going to end at Getafe).

Don't forget Isco, Deulofeu and Thiago
CF? maybe Adrian can prove him self from now until 2014, or Fabregas as a false 9.

England




legit

Well, in that case Boateng and Bender both need to up their defensive work, I guess. (Boa totally has to try and don't make too many rash tackles. If the tackles work, they are brilliant - if not, he gets booked as he was ever so often or causes a penalty)

Walker maybe at RB. Also Jones/Smalling could be in defense.

Walcott over Adam Johnson and Smalling over Lescott. Welbeck and Sturridge would probably be in over Chamberlain, too.

Carvajal ...

And lol at Surag's continuing Busquets hate ... He's gonna be in the Spanish starting XI for a long, long time buddy. Get used to it.

You'll all look silly when Carvajal explodes in a couple of years

Zealous wrote:You'll all look silly when Carvajal explodes in a couple of years

He wont make 2014 Squad though..Dont kid yourself..

My money will be either Iraola ,Azpi or VDB might as well continue with Arbeloa(which i highly doubt)..

PS.Whats with this Basque Ostracision of VDB He has something against Basque players

Belgium will compete for the WC ?

With Lukaku, Hazard, Fellaini etc they should.

England maybe :

Rodwell won't be in the team. The rest is decent.

If Carjaval manages to displace Arbeloa and start for a large portion of 2013-2014 season, I think he could end up in the squad starting.

Alba only became a regular at Valencia this year after all.

Carjaval is a very very similar player to Alba, not sure we want 2 of them, it leaves us defensively vulnerable.
