While the respective captains will come face to face before the matches it's unlikely we'll see Ronaldo and Ibrahimovi in numerous one on one battles during the games. The pair is likely to be at opposite ends of the pitch and relying on their defenders to shut one another down! Their link up play with their team mates and most importantly their goals, could be the difference between being in Brazil and watching it from home with the rest of the world. And while individual brilliance doesn't always win matches these 2 are that good it just might on this occasion. Portugal are slight favourites to head to a fourth consecutive World Cup but Sweden will be desperate to avoid back to back qualification failures. So which country will prevail? Which Superstar will win and which won't be in Brazil next year?
