Who to watch out for?

A special player

As mentioned before, this side has one of the most talented players in the tournament.

But the players that could take the World Cup by storm specifically, are Eden Hazard, Thibaut Courtois and Kevin De Bruyne.

Courtois is arguably one of the best goalkeepers on this planet. Standing tall at 6′ 6″, he is capable of making the most incredible saves. He can make stops from the top draw, take charge and construct a good defence, claim the ball confidently and distribute it well too.

Kevin De Bruyne is another player to watch out for. Having orchestrated a flawless season for Manchester City, he will be high on the confidence coming into the World Cup.

The midfielder has excellent technique, vision and passing ability. He can sweep passes all around the pitch effortlessly. De Bruyne is fairly two-footed and can strike them from distance. To add to that, he offers an immense work rate.

This list would definitely be incomplete without Eden Hazard. There's nothing he cannot do on the football pitch. Hazard will run at defenders, complete take-ons, wriggle past defences and offer innovation to the attack. His finishing too is unimpeachable.
