Depending who wins, Kante or Modric gets Golden Ball imo.

Usually voted before/midway through the game iirc. It's presented straight after the game

Mbappe is odds on favourite ain’t he? Kante first defensive player to win since 1930.

 

You’re probably right. He’s gotta be a shoe-in for best young player at least.

 

Personally I’d still pick either Kante or Modric, they’ve both been outstanding and are so integral to their respective teams.

Mine would be:

 

Pickford

Trippier Varane Godin Meunier (aye, I know he plays on the right)

Kante Modric

M'Bappe Greizmann Cherychev

Kane

 

Subs: Lloris, Mina, Inui, Hazard, Cavani

FWIW Lukaku wouldn't be anywhere near mine, as usual he was far too inconsistent.

He was as consistent as Kane, and I'd give him the nod considering his best performance was versus Brazil and Kane's was versus Colombia. Both had awful semi finals. Haven't seen enough of Croatia really but Mandzukic could be a good shout

There’s been nee standout good LBs like. I was going to Vrsaljko there but I’m stickler for the deets on shit like this. I just picked Hernandez as he got to be the final but he’s probs been France’s worst starter.

Went for Meunier for exactly the same reason, I thought he was excellent for Belgium and I honestly couldn't pick a left back. Couldn't believe how poor Marcelo was. He played like he had the runs or something. [emoji38]

Yes but Kane probably has the golden boot and aside from one half against Brazil Lukaku did nowt for me.

Marcelo was fine man. He wasn't at his best, but he definitely wasn't poor either. Was an average World Cup from him. Lots of people have chosen him in their team of the tournament which I believe to be based on his quality rather than what he showed at the World Cup, but think calling him poor is very harsh.  Meunier is a good shout however, very impressed by him this World Cup. Been very good for PSG but hasn't always been easy as he competes with Dani Alves for that spot.

Thought Marcelo was great against Belgium, the second half anyway. He and Douglas Costa almost single handedly brought them back into the game. I'm disagreeing with you a lot tonight [emoji38]

Likewise Strinic too for Croatia. Ok, but the weak link. Only other players I can think of would be Nagatomo or Laxalt and the latter didn’t start and has gash hair.

 

I thought Marcelo was way below his RM displays like, he’s probably the best LB in the world even if his defending is shite which was highlighted more than usual playing for a nation of failures.

Yeah you're probably right, but I meant 'how poor he was' by Marcelo's standards which are obviously incredibly high, he didn't look right to me. He was the player I really expected to shine at this World Cup as well.
