World Cup Pretenders

World Cup Pretenders

With most of Europe’s domestic leagues already concluded and the World Cup Provisional Squads announced,
many players are planning for action in Brazil or going on vacation. There are players who are disappointed not to be selected for a spot on their country’s World Cup roster while others have planned their vacation because they haven’t qualified for the World Cup.

There are several big names that are missing from Football’s biggest competition which has lea to suggestions that FIFA should increase the number teams participating in the tournament. Stars such as Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Gareth Bale and Robert Lewandowski will have to watch the World Cup from afar since they failed to fire their nations to Brazil. It is undoubtedly the dream of every player not to just participate in the World Cup but to lift the coveted World Title during their playing days.

Yardie Sports has identified the top players who won’t be involved due to failure to qualify and has put together an 18 man squad which could perhaps get the better of many of the teams involved in the tournament. These players are playing at the highest level for their clubs and some are renowned superstars of the beautiful game.
