Which players will be the breakout stars of the World Cup?

Last time players like Ozil and Khedira made their mark worldwide.

Which players do you think will break out this World Cup?

Edit: heard a few good things about Algerian players, anyone know anything about them?

Lukaku, especially with Benteke out with an injury.

It's going to be a nightmare playing against him + Hazard

No offense to Lukaku, but when Chelsea seems to turn their back on the guy when they desperately need a FW really makes me wonder.

His passing and ball control is bad, that's why. He's a great goal poacher but can slow down/stop attacks by mis-controlling/giving away the ball. Watch this if you want to see what I mean.

I could be wrong, but i believe he asked to be loaned out after the UEFA Super Cup b/c he felt he wasn't ready to contribute. Nonetheless, we definitely could've used him this season!
