2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil

Luis Felipe Scolari has announced a relatively less experienced yet immensely talented World Cup squad for Brazil. There are a few unexpected exclusions and at least one surprise inclusion

Although the core of the team which won the 2013 FIFA Confederations trophy is retained, it is to be noted that some high profile players like Coutinho, Leiva, Kaka, Robinho are not part of the team anymore. Atletico's Miranda and Luis, PSG's Moura also missed the bus

Henrique, who plays for Napoli, got a major surprise when he's named in the squad ahead of Miranda

Nigeria coach Stephen Keshi named his 30-man provisional team for the World Cup finals on May 6. Peter Odemwingie, who fell out with his coach after he was excluded from the 2013 African Nations squad, is back in contention for the World Cup. The pair recently patched up

Nineteen players made a return to national team prospect from the Nations Cup squad. FIFA has a deadline until June 2 by which all teams need to lodge their 23-member World Cup squads

Calros Queiroz, Iran's national coach, sprung a minor surprise when he announced a 28-man provisional World Cup squad without veteran midfielder Ali Karimi. Rubin Kazan's talented striker Sardar Azmoun, who's termed as "Iranian Lionel Messi" has been invited

Its all over for Neill

Louis van Gaal, the Netherlands manager, named a squad of 20 for the first training camp as part of his preparations for Brazil 2014. Mostly consisting of Dutch based players, the squad also contains three uncapped players, Luc Castaignos, Terence Kongolo and Jurgen Locadia

The training camp will run for three days and is part of the three camps planned by van Gaal. The foreign based players might join from the second camp onwards which will take place before the scheduled friendly against Ecuador on May 17. van Gaal would also names a provisional 30-man squad before the friendly and they'd be further taking part in the third camp and a couple more friendlies before the final roster is released

Luis van Gaal is planning to announce the mandatory 23-man squad on June 2 just meeting the FIFA deadline

The 23-man Squad representing Honduras at the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil has been announced by coach Luis Fernando Saurez on May 5th. The list includes a couple of notable exclusions, Luis Lopez taking the third Goalie position pipping out Jose Mendoza and striker Jonathan Mejia has been left out

Bosnia coach Safet Susic named his provisional 24-man team for the World Cup. The list includes all the usual suspects who helped the nation impressively qualify for its first outing at the World Event

Susic named one extra entry to cover in case right-back Mensur Mujdza fails to recover in time from his foot injury. A few notable exclusions include defender Boris Pandza and midfielder Adnan Zahirovic. To everyone's surprise, Zahirovic lost his place to the coach's nephew Tino Susic. Another surprise in the team selection is that it has only two strikers of which only one of them would be used per match, the coach claims

FIFA has a deadline until June 2 by which all teams need to lodge their 23-member World Cup squads, which means Susic needs to drop just a name out of his provisional list. In case Mujdza proves his fitness before final selection, either Susic or Hadzic are expected to miss out
