In a ridiculously talented Belgium national team heading into the 2014 FIFA World Cup, winger Kevin Mirallas is undoubtedly one of the stars for the Red Devils.
The 26-year old has lit up Goodison Park since his arrival two years ago and his performances this season were absolutely vital in Everton earning a fine 5th place finish.

Scoring 8 Premier League goals despite predominantly being used as a winger, Mirallas combined brilliantly with Romelu Lukaku over the course of the campaign and delighted the Everton fans.
A player with pace, power and a knack of scoring brilliant goals, Mirallas has everything in his repertoire that a top class player needs and he will certainly be hoping to continue his great run of form for Belgium at the World Cup as well.
Probability of making an impact at the World Cup
Belgium have been placed as dark horses to go all the way in the World Cup and considering the talent at their disposal, the tag is more than well justified.
The Belgium side is full of exuberant young players and although at 26 – not too old himself, Mirallas will be one of the more experienced players in the Belgium side. Therefore other than his qualities as a player, the winger will have the responsibility of inspiring his younger teammates to a good performance in Brazil.
Mirallas will probably start on the wings for the Red Devils, with Eden Hazard being deployed on the other flank and the Everton star will be looking to combine with Romelu Lukaku in the same manner the duo have been wrecking havoc on opposition defences at Goodison Park this season.
While it remains to see whether Belgium can live upto their pre-tournament hype, expect Mirallas to make quite an impact in Brazil.
