GARETH BALE
The Wales winger will be hoping he doesn't follow in the footsteps of his illustrious countryman Ryan Giggs -- who won everything with Manchester United but never played in a World Cup.
The 24-year-old Bale is starting to find his best form with Real Madrid following his world-record 100 million euro transfer from Tottenham this summer.
Last season, he scored 21 league goals for Spurs, and his combination of power, searing pace, and an incredibly hard shot make him a nightmare to defend against. Defenders in Brazil will be thankful that they won't have to deal with him.
