The rosters for the 2014 World Cup are set.
On Monday afternoon, the deadline passed for all 32 participating teams to submit their final 23-man squads for the tournament in Brazil, clinching the dreams of 736 players and dashed the dreams of many many more.
At the final minute, players such as Radamel Falcao, Luis Montes, and Ricardo Montolivo had their World Cup hopes slashed due to either existing injuries or recently suffered ones. At the same time, injury doubts including Manuel Neuer and Philipp Lahm, Franck Ribery, Diego Costa, and Luis Suarez all made their nation’s final squads.
The youngest player called up to the World Cup is 18-year-old Cameroonian forward Fabrice Olinga, while the eldest is Colombia and former Philadelphia Union goalkeeper Faryd Mondragón at 42-years of age.
Here’s a full look at the 2014 World Cup squads.
