World Cup 2018: Predicted Dream Group Stages XI 

Midfielders

Kante is a massive player for France

N'golo Kante

French central midfielder N'golo Kante is a huge player for the Les Bleus manager Didier Deschamps. A tirelessly hard-working player, Kante was part of the agonising Euro 2016 final defeat will be eager to have a good tournament again this time around.

A ferociously quick player with great ability to read the game and make interceptions as well as set up play, Kante is vital to the likes of Pogba and Tolisso and Greizmann who play up ahead of him on the field. France is a favourite to progress from their group and go far in the World Cup.

Silva is a key player for Spain

David Silva

Spanish magician, David Silva will be eager to impress on the world stage for his country on the back of an extremely successful league season. In the form of his life and in the prime of his career, Silva is all geared up to put behind the horrors of the 2014 Rio showing and guide Spain to another good run in the competition.

Drawn with Portugal, Iran and Morocco, the Spaniards will face another tricky group this time out and players will need to be focused and prepared for the task at hand. They should progress and Silva will be a vital part of the team's success.

De Bruyne in action for Belgium

Kevin de Bruyne

Belgian playmaker and midfielder, Kevin de Bruyne like his City teammate David Silva, is in the form of his life and prime of his career. With huge responsibility on his shoulders and prior World Cup experience, de Bruyne is primed and set to play his heart out in Russia.

Drawn along with England, Tunisia and Panama, Belgium should make it out of the group with De Bruyne leading the charge. Martinez will rely heavily on the City playmaker as his go-to creative outlet. Belgium will be dark horses to go on to win the competition and will be boosted greatly by his contribution.
