Top 20 released on Thursday. -
Netherlands coach Louis van Gaal will have to make do without the services of Rafael van der Vaart at the 2014 World Cup due to a calf injury.
Van der Vaart picked up the knock during Tuesday's training session at Netherlands' camp in Portugal and he has now been ruled out of the finals as a result.
The 31-year-old was widely expected to make Holland's final 23-man squad for the tournament in Brazil, but his physical problems will now prevent him from making it to the third World Cup of his career after previously featuring in 2006 and 2010.
Van der Vaart was the most experienced player in Oranje's squad, having made 109 appearances for the national side since making his debut under Van Gaal back in 2001.
The Hamburg star's withdrawals is yet another blow for the 2010 World Cup runners-up after the previously confirmed absence of Kevin Strootman and Gregory van der Wiel due to injury, too.
The midfielder will likely be replaced by either PSV skipper Georginio Wijnaldum or Feyenoord youngster Tonny Vilhena.
Netherlands meet Spain, Australia and Chile in Group B this summer. -
I'm surprised they placed Messi above Iniesta.
Some obvious names in the top 20 would be Pele, Maradonna, Bastituta, Zidane, Maldini, Ronaldo, Platini, Klose, Vieira, Ballack, Cruyff and 9 others. -
I'm just happy Colombia back in the World Cup the way Colombia played in qualifying the only one in the group I worry about losing too is Ivory Coast... They should not lose to Greece or Japan but if they did wouldn't be surprised. I got my gear ready. Part of me hope USA wins or gets out the group, just too ? off Euro Snobs, other part of me says I hope they lose every game.

BBC's promos for the World Cup this year are absolutely ? . They usually knock out some good quality promos for big events but these World Cup ones are rubbish.
-
Ghana has so many midfielders they have to use KP as a striker just to make room for him.
