#3 Costa Rica - Keylor Navas
Costa Rica is all set to make their fifth World Cup appearance and is expected to recreate some of the magic from the previous edition in which they went on to win a group which had Italy, England and Uruguay and only lost in the quarter-finals on a penalty shootout to the Netherlands.
Keylor's performances four years ago earned him a move to Real Madrid where he has established himself as a regular starter. He has won two Champions League title and La Liga once with Los Blancos despite which he is often considered the weakest link in the Madrid setup. The rumour mills keeps churning out bigger names to replace Navas, but it doesn't faze the Costa Rican at all. He had a wonderful showing in the latest El Clasico, denying Messi on numerous occasion and he is expected to take this form with him to Russia.
Although Bryan Ruiz and Joel Campbell will be vital going forward, it will be Keylor's quality and leadership that will be key to Costa Rica's success in Russia as they have to keep out shots from the likes of Neymar, Gabriel Jesus, Shaqiri, Xhaka and Mitrovic. Expect Keylor Navas to give his best to keep clean sheets and give Costa Rica the best chance of winning each match in Russia.
Notable Mention: Bryan Ruiz
