These are the players i pin to either move somewhere bigger this summer, or demand a bigger salary based off their performance in the World Cup(or have already moved somewhere else of benefit).

1. Eljero Elia, Holland FW

This guy reminds me of a Dutch Cristiano Ronaldo and my pick for Young Player of the WC

2. Milos Krasic, Serbia MF

3. Alexis Sanchez, Chile FW

4. Keisuke Honda, Japan MF

5. Marek Hamsik, Slovakia MF

Is the reason everyone will be shocked when Slovakia makes the Knockouts

6. Angel Di Maria, Argentina MF

7. Gervinho, Ivory Coast ST

My favorite to step up while Drogba recovers

8. Simon Kjaer, Denmark DF

Arsenal fans will be definitely be checking into this kid. He is my pick to move to the Gunners this offseason.

9. Javier Hernandez, Mexico ST

10. Samuel Inkoom, Ghana DF

The most consistant player for the Ghana U-20 World Cup winners

11. Jerome Boateng, Germany DF

Another fantastic move by Manchester City, as they continue to spend money

12. Nicolas Lodeiro, Uruguay MF

Uruguay is another shock team i see winning France's beloved Group A. He is his country's Messi

13. Itumeleng Khune, South Africa GK


14. Eren Derdiyok, Switzerland MF

¿Donde estan los jugadores de los Estados Unidos?

Oh, and Gervinho looks like a gayby of DaMarcus Beasley and Drogba.

Both are already ballers in my mind. But i'm biased. USA baby. I got them beating Germany in the Knockouts. WWIII bitches.

in the eyes of the rest of the world, Jozy really isn't anything. They say he couldn't even start for Hull, which is pretty much true. I would consider him to be a breakout star if he has a good world cup.

I definitely agree with Krasic. I think Hamsik is a little too widely known to be a breakout player, as is Michael Bradley. But since Jozy has done nothing in Europe so far, he is definitely a potential breakout player.

Good list, definitely some guys I am not too familiar with.

still had almost 30 appearances, plus he belongs to Villareal. people who know what's up know that he has skill and potential.

he's pretty young to be billed as an elite striker. Even Pato still has a long, long way to go.

Jozy started for Hull for much of the season. However his team was shite and couldn't ever get enough shots. He did Hull in assists over the course of the season.

Jozy had 5 assists in the Premier League alone this season for Hull. That ain't too bad for your first season as an American. A young one at that.

you should then take that opportunity to ask what Emile Heskey's role will be on the pitch besides hopsitalizing Rio Ferdinand.

Single handedly trying to destroy the England team. Thanks Emile!

What about Sergio Aguero and Giovanni Dos Santos? Or have they already broken out? Maybe Gareth Barry? Are these guys all bonafide?

Giovanni Dos Santos?


he's actually sort of flamed out of his potential. sold from barca to tottenham, then to an average display on loan to galatasaray. he's definitely a quality player though. very clever, quick, & accurate.

Gareth Barry


unsure whether he'll even see meaningful playing time. he's coming off ligament damage and I'm thinking Michael Carrick will play over him

I personally think Michael Bradley is gonna be getting nice offers from bigger clubs within the next couple years.

Define bigger?
I think he'd fit nicely in a mid-table side in Germany or England.

Mid-table is exactly what I was thinking. Given Fulhams history of signing Americans, someting along the lines of that
