Yours are pretty good. Iāll just take the same but Quaresma as my goal please Carol
I didnāt think Luka Modric was the best player at the World Cup in spite of him winning the award. Wasnāt even Croatiaās best player (Perisic probs).

Yeah I didnāt watch any Group Stage Croatia admittedly.
This tournament wasnāt really notable for a particular stand out individual though to be honest. I mean apart from Harry Maguire but everyone knows that. Hazard was reliably superb I thought.
I like this one because if Pepe hadnāt been rolling around clutching his face for no reason whatsoever he could have been there to potentially stop it and I hate Pepe.
No one has really mentioned De Bruyne. Maybe because heās always at the same level now but thought he had a great World Cup

Varane, KantĆ©, SubasiÄ, Vrsaljko, StrijniÄ, ModriÄ, RakitiÄ, PerisiÄ, Trippier, Stones, Courtois, Cheryshev clearly the best players.
Some of the players iāve heard touted are just bizarre picks - Griezmann, ffs, Pogba, even De Bruyne. Didnāt see it. Sorry.
Pogba seriously didnāt play any better or worse than he does for United for me, having watched him week in week out. Which is to say he was pretty good with a smattering of world class moments and plenty of anonymous periods. Classic fickle football pundits who apparently donāt even pay attention to the biggest players at the biggest clubs and, quite frankly, need to learn football

Bit disappointed by the final.
Best face - Mandzukic
Best fans - Peru
Best tantrum - Colombia
Best prison tats - Geurro / Quaresma
Best āhe doesnāt look like a managerā - Herve Renard
Best player transferred to a PL team solely on the basis of performances at World Cup who will then fade into obscurity - ??
