THE culmination of four years' hard work is about to arrive for about 700 of the world's best footballers.
With the FIFA World Cup kicking off on June 12, footballers from around the world are waiting anxiously by their phones as they wait for the call letting them know whether they're in or out of their country's squad.
Some coaches, including Brazil boss Luiz Felipe Scolari, have taken the plunge by naming their final 23-man squad already. Others, including Australia's Ange Postecoglou, will name a preliminary 30-man group before cutting that down to 23 before the final deadline on June 2.
We'll bring you every squad as it is announced — scroll down to see the players that have been named so far.
