this list will be ranking players based
on whether they are an emerging talent
you should be watching closely or a
known star with a point to prove on the
international stage we will be paying
particular attention to the form going
into the 2018 World Cup and how a strong
showing could elevate their career to
the next level number 10
Killian in Bop a while Antoine Griezmann
stole headlines during Euro 2016 with
his Golden Boot winning performances 19
year old Killian and Bop a is looking
like the latest and greatest attacking
player in Leh blues lineup when he was
just 18 years of age he began making a
name for himself at AS Monaco smashing
various records in the leaguer and the
Champions League four goals scored his
performances earned him a move to Paris
saint-germain where he never looked a
step out of place lined up alongside two
Titans in attacking football
Edinson Cavani and Neymar despite his
age and the fact that he hasn’t even
cracked 20 caps for France yet his pace
and raw skill on the ball will make him
a must watch player at this summer
number nine Marcello Marcello is one of
those players that embodies the essence
of Brazilian football alongside one of
his teammates whom we will talk about
much later no spoilers here
despite technically being a fullback
Marcelo can effectively operate as a
winger playing with the flare and wad
Aviv that many Brazilians are known for
his trophy Hall is nothing to scoff at
at the club level having won La Liga and
the UEFA Champions League four times
apiece with Real Madrid playing an
integral role in the Champions League
titles in particular in his prime at 30
years of age Marcelo has an opportunity
to stake his claim as the best left back
in the world at this edition of the
world cup number 8 Harry Kane the last
few major tournaments haven’t been great
for England out in the quarterfinals of
Euro 2012 eliminated in the group stage
of the 2014 World Cup and eliminated by
Iceland in the Euro 2016 round of sick
Steen with a new coach and Gareth
Southgate and a fresh crop of young
players Harry Kane perhaps best
exemplifies the new generation Kane
narrowly missed out on winning three
consecutive English Premier League
Golden Boot Awards as he went on to
score 41 goals for Spurs across all
competitions I’m someone who had likes
to lead by example on and off the pitch
and that’s what I’ll try and continue to
do named captain of the Three Lions at
just 24 years of age a strong World Cup
outing will only further his claim as
one of the world’s best strikers number
7 Luis Suarez whether you’re talking
about his skill with the ball at his
feet is devastating finishing or has
shall we say other antics on the pitch
Luis Suarez provides boatloads of
entertainment at both the club and
international levels of football in fact
he’s provided us with two of the most
memorable moments from the past two
editions of the FIFA World Cup in 2010
it was the infamous handball against
Ghana in the quarterfinals in 2014 it
was the bite on Chiellini so what will
2018 bring anything is possible but
thankfully at the least we should get to
witness some beautiful attacking
football from Suarez and his Arab lion
attacking teammate Edinson Cavani number
6 Kevin de Bruyne Oh Kevin de Bruyne has
climbed to the top is an interesting one
after the hype surrounding him
facilitated a move from gank to Chelsea
in 2012 Jose Mourinho deemed him not up
to Premier League standards both alone
and a permanent move to Germany later
and de bruyne found himself back in
England via Manchester City where he
would go on to establish himself as one
of the league’s best and most creative
central midfielders as part of Belgium’s
golden generation de buri know will be
the heart and soul of not only Belgium’s
attack but of the team as a whole with
the Red Devils success being largely
dependent on his ability to orchestrate
their offense number five Davi daheia
it’s rare that goalkeepers get the
limelight that they truly deserve but if
there ever was a keeper who could have a
big say in the 2018 World Cup that would
be Spain’s da vida heya with Manchester
United’s attack under performing at
times during the 2017-2018 season de
Hale was able to keep them in matches
rescuing many points for the red side of
Manchester and establishing himself as
perhaps the best shot stopper in the
world
in doing so he won the Golden Glove for
the most clean sheets in the English
Premier League with 18 Spain’s attack
will be relentless given the talent that
they boast but when their defense has
been breached the opposition will still
have a massive hurdle to overcome in
beating daheia number four Cristiano
Ronaldo despite turning 33 in 2018
Cristiano Ronaldo is still one of the
best in the game another season another
40-plus goal hall for the Madera native
after helping Portugal to a major trophy
in Euro 2016 both on and unfortunately
off of the pitch he will be out for
redemption in 2018 as Portugal’s captain
most capped player ever an all-time top
scorer by over 30 goals when all those
past achievements will be integral in a
young Portuguese attack that has very
little experience in major international
tournaments with Portugal as unexpected
European champions in 2016
many will be watching to see if Ronaldo
can propel his own and his country’s
legend even further number three
Leonel Messi you can’t mention Ronaldo
without bringing up Messi soon after
after witnessing Ronaldo lifted an
international trophy in 2016 Leo Messi
came out of international retirement to
try to do the same with Argentina
considered by many to be the goat or
greatest of all time Leo no Messi’s
achievements at the club level with FC
Barcelona are second to none but when
discussing if he’s the greatest of all
time some detractors say that he will
never be considered above pelé or
Maradona unless he wins a World Cup
after losing an extra time to Germany in
the 2014 World Cup final Messi will have
revenge on his mind with 2018 seeming to
be the last best chance at the title for
the 30 year old magician number 2
Mohamed Salah Egyptian hearts around the
world must have stopped when they saw a
tearful Mohamed Salah leave the 2018
champions the final after just 30
minutes thankfully for Salah and his
country despite carrying a shoulder
injury he will indeed feature for the
Pharaohs during this World Cup Salah was
one of the top performers in Europe
during the 2017-2018 season scoring 44
goals in 52 appearances and for Egypt he
was no less important scoring five of
their eight goals in qualifying
including the goal that sent them to
their first World Cup since 1990
despite Egypt perhaps lacking some
talent in other areas of the pitch in
the Egyptian King they have one of the
most exciting attackers in the world
before we get to our top pick here are a
few honorable mentions number one Neymar
just one year before the 2018 World Cup
Neymar shocked the world with his move
from FC Barcelona to Paris a German it
was set by those around him that he made
the move to get out of the shadow cast
by V&O Messi and to become the best
player in the world well leading Brazil
to a World Cup title would certainly
help him to emerge from the shadows and
then some despite an injury scare in
February Neymar enters the 2018 World
Cup in excellent shape and form having
scored in both pre-tournament friendlies
and exemplifying to a tee that
Brazilians waad Aviv that we mentioned
earlier with the incredible supporting
cast around him mixed with the fact that
Neymar tends to save his best
performances for the sella so this could
be the tournament that propels him
beyond Ronaldo and Messi and to the top
of the football pyramid thanks for
