Star Player Antoine Griezmann

One 2 Watch Kylian Mbappe

W.C Legend Zinedine Zidane

Best Finish Winners 98

Young and hungry side full of pace and power questions lie with manager Deschamps after losing to Portugal in the Euros two years ago. This might be one tournament too early for the French and could use this to develop the star young talents like Mbappe,Lemar, Fekir and Dembele. 

Star Man Harry Kane

One 2 Watch Ruben Loftus Cheek

W.C Legend Bobby Charlton

Best Finish Winners 66

Underachievers England come into this tournament with less pressure than previous generations plenty of quality forward options. But lacking creativity in the middle of the park. Harry Kane and Jamie Vardy have been in fine goalscoring form for a few years now and will hope to carry that into the tournament. Young Star Marcus Rashfords fine display in the friendly against Costa Rica gives him a selection headache.

Star Man Toni Kroos

One 2 Watch Leon Goretzka

W.C Legend Franz Beckenbauer

Best Finish Winners 54,74,90,2014

Massive favourites Germany will look to retain the title they have quality in every position midfield playmaker Kroos is key to success.

Star Player Neymar

One 2 Watch Gabriel Jesus

W.C Legend Pele

Best Finish winners 58,62,70,94,2002

 The Samba stars will be desperate to make up for last world cups car crash ending against Germany when they were dumped out 7-1. Plenty of experience and depth. Neymar's fitness a slight concern.

Star Man David De Gea

One 2 Watch Marco Asensio

W.C Legend Xavi

Best Finish Winners 2010

Despite the golden generation ageing and retired Spain still have plenty of exciting young players coming up playing with that tiki taka philosophy.

Star Man Lionel Messi

One 2 Watch Gio Lo Celso

W.C Legend Diego Maradona

Best Finish Winners 78,86

They have attacking players coming out of their ears not many teams can boast this kind of depth. Problem is defensively and no star full back.

Star Man C. Ronaldo

One 2 Watch Gelson Martins

W.C Legend Eusébio

Best Finish 3rd place 66

Shocked everyone by winning Euro 2014 have slightly more expansive team this year with the addition of Bernardo Silva to the starting XI. Ronaldo key.

Star Man Eden Hazard

One 2 Watch Youri Tielemans

W.C Legend Enzo Scifo

Best Finish 4th 86

Golden generation will need to deliver something Belgium has never had such a talented group. De Bruyne passing is key but Hazard is the game changer.

Star Man Luka Modric

One 2 Watch Marko Rog

WC Legend Davor Šuker

Best Finish 3rd place 98

Creative players in abundance Modric and Rakitic pull the strings in the middle of the park. If Mandzukic gets an injury they might struggle for goals.

Star Man Shinji Kakawa

One 2 Watch Yosuke Ideguchi

W.C Legend Hidetoshi Nakata

Best Finish Last 16 2002,2010

Hard working side which will upset teams rhythm star players Okazaki, Kakawa and Honda all in their 30s now need new blood to develop

Star Man Hirving Lozano

One 2 Watch Edson Álvarez

W.C Legend Hugo Sánchez

Best Finish Q.Finals 70,86

Central America big hope won the Olympic gold 2012 in London. Lozano is attracting big attention across Europe. Hernandez needs to find form.

Star Man Sadio Mane

One 2 Watch Keita Balde

W.C Legend El Hadji Diouf

Best Finish QF 2002

Plenty of pace in wide areas and Koulibaly has been an absolute rock for Napoli this season at the back. Arguably a stronger team on paper than the hero's of 2002 that shocked France.

Star Man Aaron Mooy

One 2 Watch Tom Rogic

W.C Legend Tim Cahill

Best Finish Last16 2006

Not quite the names on paper as previous years but the #Socceroos always remain competitive and physical. A 38 Tim Cahill experience is a plus.

WC Legend Óscar Míguez

Best Finish Winners 1930,1950

How do you not score goals with a front two of Cavani and Suarez?! Manager Tabarez is the longest serving at the World Cup.

Star Man S.M.Savic

One 2 Watch Andrija Zivkovic

WC Legend Dejan Stanković

Best Finish 3rd place 1930 Very talented side with a nice mix of experience and youth problem could be squad depth if they go further in the tournament.
