FIFA WC 2014: The Best Debut XI Including Liverpool And Chelsea Stars

Share

FIFA WC 2014 best debut XI

Goalkeeping:

While this grand tournament will be the last major one for legends like Gianlugi Buffon and Iker Casillas, Thiabut Courtois, the Belgian who enjoyed a stunning season for Atletico Madrid as the Rojiblancos won the La Liga and came within touching distance of claiming the Champions League will start under the sticks for his country. Belgium are everyone’s dark horses going into the tournament while England’s Joe Hart will also be making his debut for the Three Lions as the Manchester City goalkeeper will be trying hard to banish Rob Green’s nightmare in South Africa four years ago.

Defenders:

Marcos Rojo will start for Argentina for sure after having a good season for his club. There are a lot of new faces who are expected to shine this time in Sambaland but we have decided to pick Leighton Baines as our left back as the Evertonian will play a huge role in Roy Hodgson’s squad ahead of Marcelo. Vincent Kompany and Gary Cahill form a formidable partnership at the heart of the defense after both the defenders had a great season for their respective clubs in the foregone Premier League season. Pablo Zabaleta also stakes his claim as the right wing back slot in our squad as the Manchester City defender will be driving force for Alejandro Sabella’s defense in Brazil. Mauricio Isla of Chile just misses out.

Midfield:

Pogba

Juventus star Paul Pogba starts as the anchorman for our team after winning the Serie A again for the Bianconeri. Sevilla’s Ivan Rakitic, who after a stunning season for Europa League winners Sevilla starts in the right wing for Croatia and our fantasy team. Mario Gotze is expected to play a significant role for the Germans as it will be the Bayern triumvirate of Kroos, Schweinstieger and Gotze who pull the strings for Joachim Loew’s side. Liverpool target Adam Lallana too finds himself in our team while Raheem Sterling just misses out for the sake of balance we have opted with a 4-4-2 in our starting eleven.

Strikeforce:

According to reports in the Spanish media, Romelu Lukaku is all set to join La Liga Champions Atletico Madrid in summer as the 21-year-old striker, who joined the West London club from Anderlecht in 2011 has set his eye on leaving Stamford Bridge this summer. The Belgian who had yet another stunning season on loan at Everton will lead the line on his own for his country with Christian Benteke missing out through injury. We will complete the lineup with Liverpool hitman Daniel Sturridge who will have to play a key role if the Three Lions are to progress from the group stages and do anything mention-able in the showpiece event.
