Top 10: Players who will decide the 2014 World Cup: 10: Vincent Kompany Nation: Belgium Caps: 56 The likes of Eden Hazard and co. have been tipped to be surprise underdogs in Brazil but if theyre going to go anywhere in the tournament then theyll need to cope at the back against the big teams.. this is where Kompany comes in. 9: Wayne Rooney Nation: England Caps: 88 Admittedly the Three Lions chances of reaching the latter stages of the competition are becoming increasingly diminished with every passing game but if Rooney is on form then there isnt a team who will take England lightly. 8: Thiago Silva Nation: Brazil Caps: 44 Brazils flair and attacking prowess.rank them amongst the favourites for glory on their home turf, but its their defence that needs to be on song if they are to go all the way. 7: Robin van Persie Nation: Netherlands Caps: 79 For one reason or another Holland arent considered favourites for Brazil 2014, but that by no means suggests that they dont boast talent within their squad. 6: Franck Ribery Nation: France Caps: 80 If Ribery can ensure hes firing in the big games then hell be a massive boost for France. 5: Neymar Nation: Brazil Caps: 46 Theres a reason Neymar is considered by the majority of Brazilian fans as their brightest hope for the World Cup, and it isnt just because hes considered a talent for the future. 4: Mesut Ozil Nation: Germany Caps: 52 In a German side thats maxed out with efficiency and ability, Ozil is the stand-out performer as well as the man who ensures everything flows at it should. 3: Lionel Messi Nation: Argentina Caps: 83 The Argentinian ace is surrounded by other attacking geniuses in his national side, but their tendency to be weak at the back could scupper their chances. 2: Andres Iniesta Nation: Spain Caps: 94 Similar to Ozil in the way that he is the centre-piece of an exceptionally brilliant team, Iniesta is the go-to- guy for Spain. 1: Cristiano Ronaldo Nation: Portugal Caps: 109 As he demonstrated over the two legs against Sweden, Ronaldo can turn the tide of fortune on his own, and is entering the peak of his footballing years with a frightening level of expectation.
