What club will have the most players feature in the 2014 World Cup?

I think this question will have many people engaged for some time!

brevity

Bayern?

DDC1990

The squads haven't been picked so no one knows surely.

I know that, I am asking people to speculate.

Yes they do?

Iused2likebusts

Juventus
Tevez( argentina)
llorente( spain)
Vidal ( chile)
pirlo
pogba( france)
buffon
marchisio
Quagilerialla
Chiellini
Giovinco
Lichtsteiner ( switzerland)
caceres( uruguay)
bonucci
ogbonna
isla ( chile)
asamoah (ghana)
Barzagli
peluso
The rest I think all have a good chance of being in the Italy squad(may be wrong). Bring back c4 itialian football coverage as there are a few I wouldnt know too much about.
6 of those 10 italian juve players were in the latest squad.

Gibbs surely won't get in ahead of Baines and Cole. Ox is highly doubtful also, given other options ahead of him and the fact I feel he will struggle for game this year at Arsenal.

Bayern was the first that came to mind, and also Madrid and Barca would surely have a good few.

Valdes
Puyol
Pique
Alba
Alves
Mascherano
Busquets
Song
Xavi
Iniesta
Fabregas
Pedro
Messi
Neymar
Alexis Sanchez

That's 15 from Barca and they'd all be dead certs if fit. Not sure if Adriano is involved much with Brazil, but he could be an outsider as could the likes of Barta or one or two of the other Spannish youngsters

corcaigh07

Liverpool should have a good few there

Suarez
Sturridge
Gerrard
Johnson
Henderson
Lucas
Kolo Toure
Victor Moses (loan but Liverpool's player at the moment)
Mingloet
Sakho

I'd wager that every one of those players will play in the World Cup.

Errrm, haven't noticed Moses in any England squad recently. Henderson won't be there either lol

Moses was born in and represents Nigeria. Henderson is a regular in the England squad.

Liamalone

Ooopsadaisy, my bad, his appearances for english underage teams was sticking in my mind, tis late

Errrm, Henderson is by no means a regular in the England set up though.

Iused2likebusts

The thread is who will have the most players so there is not much point everyone putting up a list of players from the team they support that clearly wont have the most players involved. Bayern, juve, barca, real seem the most likely so far.

homerjay2005

United should have 13, with De Gea, Young and Adnan as possibilties to bring that to 16.

DDG probably needs an injury to one of the other 3 to dislodge them (even though he should be at least number 2), Young is in horrible form and Adnan needs to declare for Belgium to make it. rafael probably wont make the Brazil squad, unless he has the form of his life in the next 6 months or more to the points, stays injury free.

It would only take an injury to Baines or Cole; Gibbs is 3rd choice for that position. Good point about Ox, but getting into the Arsenal midfield is at least as hard as getting into the England midfield at the moment so if he manages to get a regular berth with Arsenal he stands a good chance of getting to Brazil

Casillas
Arbeloa
Ramos

Varrane
Coentrao

Alonso
Modric
Di maria

I get grumpy in and around midnight time for bed. In fairness you were in early with 14 potential players.

Rayne Wooney

Barca - 15
Bayern - 14
Juve - 14
United - 13
Arsenal - 13
Liverpool - 10
Madrid - 12

There's bound to be some surprise inclusions of form players and others but that looks about right.

EuropeanSon

15 from Chelsea maybe:
Cole- England
Luiz- Brazil
Ramires?- Brazil
Essien- Ghana
Torres- Spain
Mata- Spain
Oscar- Brazil
Mikel-Nigeria
Schurrle-Germany
De Bruyne-Belgium
Hazard-Belgium
Willian?-Brazil
Cahill-England
Azpilicueta-Spain
Eto'o-Cameroon

Not sure about all those, but definitely quite a few will make it. Lukaku too, if you count him.

Edited with countries

Errrm, Henderson is by no means a regular in the England set up though.

I reckon he's got a good chance though to make it as a 'utility man'. I think he's got a much better chance than Ox for example.

Good attitude and very versatile, he's the perfect squad player and if he keeps up his decent performances at club level I'd tip him to squeeze in.

By no means a certainty though

batistuta9

the arsenal site mentioned 17 potential today

with the 13 mentioned, i think they're counting:
park - korea
frimpong - ghana
ryo - japan
diaby - france

Xavi6

Hart
Zabaleta
Clichy
Kompany
Nasri
Silva
Aguero
Negredo
Navas
Yaya
Milner
Richards
Dzeko
Lescott
Rodwell

15 who have been in their respective international squads over the last six months, Fernandinho with an outside chance to be a bolter.

Liamalone

I find it hard to believe Rodwell has been near let alone in the England squad in the past six months, barely played for City since he moved.

Luckily I did my research before posting and he has, Brazil in June.

Posted by homerjay2005 on the Manchester United site.

Valencia - Ecuador.
Nani - Portugal.
Kagawa - Japan.
Hernandez - Mexico.
RVP - Holland.
Fellaini - Belgium.
Evra - France.

and then England 8 so that is countries in total and with 6 probables in the England squad, that is 13 players in total.

Jones, Smalling, Carrick, Cleverly, Rooney, Welbeck will all be involved with England.

6 more players have a chance of making their squads, some need to be in the form of their lives and be injury free for 6 months to have a chance.

•Young could make the England squad, but needs to get back playing properly first.
•DDG should be playing for Spain, but he probably wont.
•Rafael???? could get into the Brazil squad, but unlikely.
•Henriquez has an outside chance of making it with Chile but unlikely.
•Adnan could be there, if he declares for Belgium.
•Zaha is unlikely, but possible with a big 6 months.

Rio, Evans, Giggs, Vidic, Fabio, Buttner, Lindegaard, Fletcher, Anderson all have no chance of playing in the World Cup.

Except it has. So its not that interesting at all.

Why are we all shouting

gnfnrhead

Heard the other day that it was going to be PSG. Haven't checked but I find that hard to believe. My money is probably on Bayern right now.

The Backwards Man

Sepahan and Esteghlal will have a heap each.

Does feature mean be in the squad or playing time?

SureYWouldntYa

Has to be Chelsea

Cole
Luiz
Essien
Ramires
Lampard
Torres
Mata
Oscar
Mikel
Schurrle
KDB
Willian
Cahill
Moses
Lukaku
Courtois
Atsu
T and E Hazard

That totals 19

With question marks over the likes of Terry, MVG, Schwarzer, Bertrand

Terry is retired, that's not a question mark. Dunno about van Ginkel or Schwarzer, but Bertrand isn't even the 4th best English leftback, so not a hope he's going.

Big Pussy Bonpensiero

And representing Spurs:
Lloris
Walker
Verts
Sandro
Paulinho
Chadli
Lamela
Dembele
Defoe
Townsend

And potentially:
Capoué
Soldado
BAE

And maybe (however unlikely):
Dawson
Kaboul (4th French CB spot very much up for grabs)

10 that should go based on recent call-ups, however there's one or two that I'd have my doubts about.

Vurnon San Benito

Newcastle United could have quite a few going too, depending on form of certain players. Bolds (definites in my book).

Tim Krul [Holland]
Mathieu Debuchy [France]
Yohan Cabaye [France]
Shola Ameobi [Nigeria]
Fabricio Coloccini [Argentina]
Cheick Tioté [Ivory Coast]
Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa [France]
Moussa Sissoko [France]
Loic Remy [France]
Hatem Ben Arfa [France]
Davide Santon [Italy]
Vurnon Anita [Holland] -- doubtful, but never know.
