#2 Sergio Busquets (Spain)

Reliable as ever, Sergio Busquets would be again pulling the strings in the Spanish midfield in what could be his last World Cup. The Octopus of Badia, as people know him is one of the most underrated footballers in the modern world.
Omnipresent on the field, Busquets seldom has a bad game, and when he does, the whole team collapses. Often branded as the backbone of the modern Barcelona, Busquets' calm on the ball and his off-the-ball leadership are pure testaments to his natural talent.
Add flair and skills to the list, and you have one of the best defensive midfielders of the decade; Sergio Busquets.
"You watch the game, you don't see Busquets. You watch Busquets, you see the whole game." - Vicente del Bosque (former Spanish manager)
Busquets' passing accuracy and his ability to pick out forwards even from within the tightest of all defensive lines are so often match winning factors for his club, La Roja would be counting upon the services of the midfielder to repeat their 2010 success.
Sergio Busquets and Andres Iniesta are expected to start all matches for the national side in Russia as the Barcelona duo have the chemistry and the ability to tear apart opponents within the fraction of a second.
