World Cup 2014 Dream Team GK - Manuel Neuer - Germany After a stunning last season with Bayern Munich, Neuer continue to show his form this season also. He has been outstanding and has cemented his place in Germany and Bayern squad and lately in our team. With Casillas not finding regular first team chance for Real Madrid and ageing Buffon, Neuer is the best keeper to be in Brazil. Honourable Mentions : Thiabut Courtois (Belgium), Hugo Lloris (France), Gianluigi Buffon (Italy), Iker Casillas (Spain) RB - Philip Lahm - Germany No question about the ability of this man and he has been in the peak of his playing career, he is arguably the best in that position. Being the captain of his country and club, he has been an unattachable member of both squad. Honourable mentions : Dani Alves (Brazil), Pablo Zabaleta (Argentina) CB - Thiago Silva – Brazil One of the most wanted man in defence, Thiago Silva makes our list. At 29, he is certainly finding his best form and at the right time. He will be a key man for Brazil if they are to win the Cup. CB - Per Mertasacker - Germany The third German on the list and you say why not, he has been a key figure for Arsenal and Germany since last season. Strong tackle, tall and his dangerous header in the opponents box makes him the most complete centre back. Honourable mentions : Sergio Ramos(Spain), Gerard Pique (Spain), Vincent Kompany(Belgium), Giorgio Chiellini(Italy) LB - Leighton Baines - England The first English to make this list, Baines is currently the best left back in Premier League. Not only his defensive works, but his ability to go forward and join the teams attack makes him a wanted man at Old Trafford. He can also take penalties and free kicks as he is doing it currently with his club Everton. Honouramle mentions : Jordi Alba(Spain), Ashley Cole(England), Marcelo(Brazil) CM - Andres Iniesta - Spain Iniesta has to be in this team to make it world class. He has been one of the finest midfielder in the world till now and some people even consider him better than the legendary Zidane. His outstanding vision and ability to win possession have made him an integral part of Barcelona and Spain. Many people takes him as the main reason for Messis success at Barcelona. CM - Bastian Schweinsteiger - Germany Started his career as a left winger, who would have thought Schweinsteiger would be a great centre midfielder. He has sipmly been unplayable last season. While many people consider Ribery as the main hero of Bayerns treble winning season, he has been the unsung hero in that team. His passing ability, tackles and long range shoot is worth praise. Honourable mentions : Yaya Toure(Ivory Coast), Xavi(Barcelona), Andrea Pirlo(Italy) RW - Franck Ribery - France The best player in Europe will certainly make this list. Ribery has been in the best form and his contribution has let his club won the treble last season and a strong start this season. Usually playing on the left wing, Ribery is also comfortable on the right. Honourable mentions : Angel di Maria (Argentina), Arjen Robben(Netherlands), Thomas Muller (Germany) CAM – Mesut Ozil - Germany Behind the striker is what Ozil loves to play and who else will compete him here. Ozil, aften called as the assist king has shown his class at Real Madrid and now in the Premier League with Arsenal. Still at 25, Ozil has a lot to offer for his club and country. Honourable mentions : Cesc Fabregas(Spain), David Silva(Spain), Oscar(Brazil), Wayne Rooney(England) LW - Cristiano Ronaldo - Portugal Having booked his nation’s place in the World Cup finals with another hat-trick, it would be simply impossible to not include Ronaldo in this dream team. Power, pace and accuracy has been his introduction on the pitch. He is a top contendor to win Ballon dor rivalling Ribery, Messi and Ibrahimovic for the prestigious award. Honourable mentions : Eden Hazard (Belgium), Neymar(Brazil) ST - Lionel Messi – Argentina Is there any better goal scorer than this man? I guess no. Even with a injury trobuled season, he has managed to score goals and consider the ultimate winner of Ballon dor. He might not be a perfect No.9, someone like Lewandowski, Van Persie or Benzema, he is the one to lead this team attack. Apart from his scoring quality he creates a lot of goal and so he is a hybrid of No.9 and 10. Honourable mentions : Sergio Aguero(Argentina), Radamel Falcao(Colombia), Robin van Persie(Netherland), Luis Suarez(Uruguay)
