10 Biggest Stars Of The 2014 FIFA World Cup (So Far)

10. Marouane Fellaini

Remember Marouane Fellaini? He's the big-haired Belgian that took the Premier League by storm - before mysteriously disappearing for a season. OK, that might be a touch harsh, but it's safe to say Fellaini didn't have a particularly enjoyable season with Manchester United in 2013/14. However, he's thrown a red shirt of a different kind on - and was possibly Belgium's best player in their opening game in Brazil. The pressure on Belgium is pretty big over in Brazil, after all the hype surrounding their clutch of top stars. Whether Vincent Kompany, Eden Hazard and even Fellaini can morph together and catapult the Belgians into the latter stages of the tournament remains to be seen - but they made a decent enough start to the tournament. Fellaini's introduction from the bench during their 2-1 win over Algeria transformed the fortunes of Belgium, and he managed to pouch himself a goal to kick off his campaign. With Russia and South Korea to come - both of whom were disappointing in their opening clash - the odds on Belgium topping the group are slim. And if Fellaini's form continues to spike during the tournament, United fans will be hoping Belgium can go a long way in Brazil 2014.
