Thiago Silva

Every footballer dreams of captaining Brazil and hoisting the World Cup trophy high, which player is leading Brazil out in Qatar?

Silva would captain the side once again in Russia 2018, where they were looking to atone for their catastrophic semifinal of four years before. This mean expectations were high going into the home World Cup the next year, in which Silva would once again be named captain. The hosts would go on to win that tournament, beating then European and world champions Spain, 3-0, in the final.
