Attack:
Angel Di Maria (Argentina) – After a superb season with Real Madrid, scoring 11 goals and providing 26 assists as his club won the Champions League and Copa del Rey, Angel Di Maria could now be about to add the World Cup with Argentina to his impressive trophy collection. A move to Manchester United could also be around the corner for the 26-year-old, if recent reports are to be believed, and Di Maria just edges Arsenal star Mesut Ozil to a place in this lineup.
Lionel Messi (Argentina) – The best player in the world, now Barcelona forward Lionel Messi has a chance to ensure his name goes down in the history books as one of the best of all time. After winning all there is to win at club level, Messi has a chance to lead his country to glory here in this World Cup final.
Thomas Mueller (Germany) – A player who clearly loves the World Cup, Germany forward Thomas Mueller has had another superb tournament in 2014 to follow up his displays four years ago. After also establishing himself as a world class talent with Bayern Munich, the 24-year-old can continue to stake his claim as one of the world’s best with a World Cup winner’s medal and another goal in the final to add to his impressive tally.
