World Cup Best XI

[TheBigIguana]

I don't really seeing this changing too much from the last couple matches so here is mine:

Bounou
Hakimi Otamendi Gvardiol Hernandez
Modric Amrabat Fernandes
Messi Giroud Mbappe
​

Fire away. I think they still do an official best XI so interested to see how that looks.

 

[ArtetaMagic]

There's one on the Belfast telegraph website and Modric isn't one of the options! You can pick Rashford and Bellingham tho...

This from Sporting Life by the numbers.... Can't believe McGuire over Gvardiol....

Seems good. The only quibble I might have is Casemiro v. Amrabat and I'm not sure how I feel myself about that one. Both impressed. Livakovic is a reasonable shout. Goncalo Ramos certainly had the game of the tournament, but I don't feel like he had enough minutes to make the tournament XI over the French forwards.

Pickford was very good - he was the opposite of a problem - but I didn't feel like he had the absolute best tournament in goal.

Ounaih has to be in there

Just about to say this but couldn’t spell his name, far and away the best midfielder in the tournament imo, the kid looks class.

If you mean Onana then I know you are having a laugh, in the Daily Mail their journalists picked.seriously I presume McGuire,Shaw and Bellingham (three times) in their teams so you are in good company alth

Reckon that's pretty accurate myself... possibly give Richarlison Giroud's place, since he scored 2 of the 3 goals of the tournament for me, both self made.

 

[Jamo Martinez]

Amrabat and Griezmann have possibly been the most consistant players in the tournament.

Keeper is tough. Livakovic was very good and Lloris gets in if he has another strong performance in a French win Sunday.

The other player I can see jumping in with a strong game Sunday is Fernandez from Argentina. He's a belting player and I look forward to seeing him in Europe going forward.

In your team I'd have Griezmann over Fernandes. Fernandes deserves a shout but you can't have a team of the tournament without Griezmann IMO
