World Cup 2014: The Best Starting XI - PHOTO

Now that all 32 teams have qualified for the World Cup, it is time to look at the best 11 players that will be in Brazil.  Here is the 2014 World Cup Dream Team based on a 4-4-2 formation...1. Manuel Neuer - GKEver since making his debut for the national team in 2009, he has cemented himself as not only the best goal keeper in Germany, but also in the World. He made his World Cup debut in 2010 while still playing for Shalke, but soon after the World Cup made a move to European giants Bayern Munich. He has since won the Bundesliga and the Champions League.2. Philipp Lahm - RBWithout a doubt the best right-back in the world and of his generation, the German international now has 104 caps under his belt. He is a key component of this German side that hopes to keep a positive record in the World Cup.3. Vincent Kompany - CBThe best centre-back in the Premier League and captain of Manchester City will be making his debut in an International tournament with his national side in this upcoming World Cup. The Belgium skipper will be the most important factor if Belgium are to have any success in Brazil.4. Thiago Silva - CBConsidered by some to be the best centre-back in the world, he will be the most important player in his national side if Brazil want to repeat the success they had over the summer in the Confederations Cup. Brazil have a little more pressure on them since they are expected to win on their home soil.5. Ashley Cole - LBOne of the best left-backs in the history of the game will be hoping to leave his mark on Brazil this summer. Ashley Cole has been a consistent member of the Three Lions ever since making his debut and has proven time after time why he is the best in the world.6. Cristiano Ronaldo - LWPossibly the best player of 2013 and future Ballon D'Or winner, Cristiano Ronaldo is one the players to watch in this summer's World Cup. He hopes to lead Portugal to a World Cup title this summer and cement his place in the books as one of the greatest players to have ever played the game.7. Andres Iniesta - CMIt will be hard to top his performance from the 2010 World Cup in which he scored the game winning goal, in extra time against the Netherlands, in the Final. If Spain hope to repeat the success they had in South Africa, then "Don" Andres will have to have another wonderful World Cup.8. Yaya Toure - CMPossibly the most complete midfielder in the game today, Yaya Toure can do absolutely everything. Not only can he defend, but he can also help out on the other side of the pitch with a valuable goal. Ivory Coast were eliminated in the Group Stage in their first two appearances in the World Cup and they will be hoping to make a big impact this time around.9. Arjen Robben - RWFor a while, it seemed that Arjen Robben was destined to lose every final he played in after having lost the Champions League final and World Cup final in the same year. It all changed when Robben finally got to taste success in the final of the most recent Champions League. Robben will be looking to redeem himself after having lost the World Cup final in 2010.10. Lionel Messi - STWithout a doubt the best player in the world and maybe in the history of the game, is Argentinian Lionel Messi. One thing that has always haunted Messi, however, have been his performances with his national side.That said, after a very strong qualifying round, he will hope to make an impact in Brazil by leading Argentina to World Cup success and cementing himself as the greatest player ever.11. Luis Suarez - STLuis Suarez was a key factor in Uruguay's success in the 2010 World Cup, helping them reach the semi-finals. Suarez will hope to put controversy aside during this upcoming World Cup and repeat the memorable 1950 World Cup final when Uruguay pulled off the biggest upset in World Cup history by beating Brazil in Brazil.(ftbpro.com)ANN.Az
