Group D
Uruguay – Luis Suarez (Liverpool)
An easy choice as Suarez helped the Reds back to the Champions League and won the PFA Player of the Year by scoring an impressive 31 league goals in 33 matches.
Costa Rica – Bryan Ruiz (Fulham)
Many may have forgotten Ruiz is a Cottagers player due to the fact the 28-year-old spent the last 12 months on-loan with PSV Eindhoven.
England – Wayne Rooney (Manchester United)
Although has only once truly performed at an international tournament – Euro 2004 – Rooney remains the Three Lions’ best player.
Italy – None
One of only two nations at the tournament without a single player from England.
