Hot spots

We all know the teams, players and managers who will be lighting up the World Cup this summer but where will the action be taking place?

Check out our guide to the places to be in Brazil with all the fixtures, dates and times of the games at the specific stadiums.

One to watch

No.20 - David Silva

Another midfield magician looking to fight his way into the Spain starting XI and based on his Manchester City form, Vicente Del Bosque would be a brave man to omit him - even if the replacements aren't likely to be too bad. Silva does his best work centrally, between the lines.

Who to follow

No.20 - @Toure_yaya42

Unlike many other of the world's top footballers, Manchester City and Ivory Coast midfielder Yaya Toure's twitter is certainly interesting - as the past few days have proved. The Premier League champion will surely not be boring during the World Cup finals.

World Cup greats

No.20 - Ronaldinho

The two-time World Footballer of the Year was one of the stars of the Brazilian team that won the 2002 World Cup. He scored twice in the tournament, including the free-kick that deceived David Seaman and knocked England out at the quarter-final stage.
