It looks like Iniesta has actually gained hair since 2010, with more on top and a helathy bit of stubble in 2014. One thing that hasn't changed: he's still one of the world's best.

Landon Donovan has gone from American Pie extra in 2002 to tanned, stubbled veteran in 2014.

It looks as if age hasn't brought Drogba happiness. His experience since 2006 will be a great asset for the Ivory Coast in 2014.

This could easily be a before and after a haircut photo as time has been kind to Miroslav Klose. Germany's joint top scorer in World Cups might not make the final cut for Brazil,
but he'll remain in the record books with an amazing 14 goals in 3 World Cups. [ Hello i think he is high likely to play and will break fatso Ronaldo's record of 15 goals ]

It's looks like Michael Essien has actually got younger since 2010's World Cup in South Africa.
It's still to be seen if his performances match those of his younger years in Brazil.

Stevie G has come a long way from England's heartbreak in 2006 to his ressurgence in the Premier League this season. Will we see this continue in Brazil?

Samuel Eto'o has been a mainstay in the Cameroon setup since 2002, despite various disputes with coaches over the years. Yet they have gone and he remains in 2014.

From La Liga in 2010 to J-League in 2014. The hair is still long, his appetites for goals is still there but with Cavani and Suarez the first two names on the team sheet,
he'll be lucky to see much action in Brazil.

Philipp Lahm will hope to start the World Cup in Brazil in the same way he started the World Cup in Germany: by scoring the goal of the tournament. He is still the first choice at left back for Germany in 2014.

The leader of la révolution against former national team coach, Raymond Domenech during the 2010 World Cup is probably quite fortunate to be in contention for a place in 2014 after receiving a ban for going on strike during the tournament in South Africa.

He was considered a world class attacking threat at the age of 20 in 2006 and not much has changed in 2014.
Rooney will be leading the line for England in Brazil in 2014.

A 22-year-old Van Persie in 2006 looks like a boy in comparison to the seasoned veteran he is in 2014.

Xavi in 2006.... Xavi in 2014. Spot the difference.
