Sky Sports looks at all of the 32 teams who have qualified for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
As the countdown to the World Cup finals continues, we already know all of the nations who will be competing for the greatest prize in football in Brazil in 2014.
And, here, Sky Sports takes a look at the countries who will be heading for Rio next summer with a comprehensive guide to their qualification, manager and FIFA ranking.
Belgium
How they qualified: European Group A winners
Manager: Marc Wilmots
FIFA ranking: 11th
World Cup record: 1986's semi-finals
Key man: Eden Hazard
British-based players: Simon Mignolet (Sunderland), Jan Vertonghen (Tottenham Hotspur), Thomas Vermaelen (Arsenal), Vincent Kompany (Manchester City), Mousa Dembele (Tottenham Hotspur), Marouane Fellaini (Manchester United), Eden Hazard (Chelsea), Kevin De Bruyne (Chelsea), Nacer Chadli (Tottenham Hotspur), Kevin Mirallas (Everton), Romelu Lukaku (Everton) and Christian Benteke (Aston Villa).
Belgium qualified for six consecutive World Cups between 1982 and 2002 but this will be their first appearance at the finals since the last of that run. It's fair to say that the success of this squad was highly anticipated, having assembled arguably their greatest group of players since Enzo Scifo & Co took the Red Devils to the knockout stages in three successive tournaments. Vincent Kompany, Eden Hazard, Marouane Fellaini, Romelu Lukaku, Jan Vertonghen, Thomas Vermaelen, Kevin Mirallas, Kevin De Bruyne and Christian Benteke are all so well known to Premier League audiences that Belgium can no longer be considered dark horses for the biggest prize in football. They appear to have clicked too with qualification assured in October as a strong Croatia side were beaten 2-1 in Zagreb. There will be tougher tasks ahead for Marc Wilmots and his side in Brazil but this young side is improving and could rise to the challenge.
Bosnia and Herzegovina
How they qualified: European Group G winners
Manager: Safet Susic
FIFA ranking: 21st
World Cup record: Competing for the first time
Key player: Edin Dzeko
British-based players: Asmir Begovic (Stoke City) and Edin Dzeko (Manchester City).
An incredibly tight Group G eventually finished with Bosnia and Herzegovina making history by qualifying for the World Cup for the first time. Leading into the final game, Greece and Bosnia were level on 22 points with the Greeks facing the relatively easy task of beating Liechtenstein at home, whilst the Balkan side faced a tricky away clash in Lithuania. Dimitrios Salpingidis put the Greeks ahead early on, meaning Bosnia were under pressure to find a goal. Fortunately for them, Vedad Ibisevic scored with just over 20 minutes remaining and despite finishing on level points, Bosnia and Herzegovina triumphed as group winners by a matter of goal difference. The Dragons will be largely thankful to Ibisevic and his strike partner Edin Dzeko, who between them have rifled in 18 goals, with Dzeko scoring an impressive ten goals in ten games.
Croatia
How they qualified: Play-off winners
Manager: Niko Kovac
FIFA ranking: 16th
World Cup record: 3rd place 1998
Key man: Luka Modric
British-based players: Dejan Lovren (Southampton), Niko Kranjcar (QPR) and Nikica Jelavic (Everton).
