Top five débutantes to watch out for at Brazil 2014 FIFA World Cup

As the days go by, every football fan has a reason to be excited. The 2014 World Cup is nearing and after four years, we will see teams from all over the world battle it out for the most prestigious tournament in the history of sport. There’s more than one reason to be excited about the 2014 World Cup. Football is returning to its colossal home, as Brazil prepares itself to host yet another sporting extravaganza.

The last time a World Cup match was played in Brazil, it left everyone around the world shocked. Uruguay defeated Brazil 2-1 in the final at the legendary Maracana. The Brazilians were left in despair. They had lost to perennial rivals Uruguay in front of 200,000 fans in what is known as one of the greatest matches ever witnessed.

As much as that would affect the Selecao, eight years later they won the tournament in style, leaving every team in awe of their breath-taking display of the beautiful game. That World Cup saw the birth of a new star, one who would go on to become the greatest player ever produced by Brazil; but that was not where it stopped.

They won four World Cups after that, the most recent being in 2002 when their attacking trio of Ronaldinho, Rivaldo and Ronaldo portrayed the perfect way to play the beautiful game.

As we near the world’s largest sporting event, let’s take a look at the top débutantes who could set the stage alight on the biggest stage on them all.

Often across social networking sites you would find a picture saying, “ No matter which club you support, you can’t hate Marco Reus”. Well, true to its word, you can’t hate him can you? The incredible Marco Reus is one of the biggest names set to make his debut at the 2014 World Cup. Having set the footballing fraternity alight with his incredible performances for the past two years at Signal Iduna Park, he is set to make his mark at the international stage.

His greatest strength is his remarkable ability to get past players and leave them gasping for breath. His nimble-footed tricks and bursts of pace leave the crowd wanting for more. Added to this, his uncanny ability to be in the right position at the right time has helped him increase his goals tally. He is slowly cementing his spot in Joachim Loew’s team.

He has already made the left wing his own at Dortmund, and it should only be a matter of time before he does it in the national team. He is one of the most exciting players to watch and is definitely going to run the show in Brazil next year.
