Interesting in world cup xi, they will no be Ronaldo. Not been great in this tournament possibly one tournament too many, but will see him in euro 2028?

He's 41 so I think it would have been more interesting if he would have made that team.

 

Luis Figo was absolutely incredible but he retired from Portugal in his early 30's like most players. It's incredible Ronaldo played in a World Cup at 41. We may never see that again.

Mbappe, or Big Dan Burn.

You might joke, but if it was based on minutes played...

I actually think it'll become more and more common.

I mean I am biased, but I truly believe it’s Bellingham so far 

[Sly]

England - Bellingham, Kane, Guehi

 

Spain - Simon, Porro, Rodri, Curella, Pedri, Olmo, 

 

Argentina - Messi

 

France - Saliba, Mbappe

 

Others - Haaland, Alvarez, Martinez, Hakami, 

 

For me though, Rodri has been brilliant. 
 

Top 3

 

Rodri, Bellingham and maybe Williams. 
 

EDIT : I meant Olmo!! To make it worse I was thinking Inaki Williams! He isn’t even Spanish.

Williams?

[Miquel The Work Geordie]

Williams has played about an hour's worth of minutes at the World Cup

Jordan Henderson 

[Jonezy]

Cape Verde's GK has been the Roger Milla of this tournament. To this day still a bit miffed at Lineker for ending that Cameroon campaign back in the day.

Got to be Rodri or Messi though. They are the heart of their teams.

[Foxdiamond]

Infantino has influenced the most games

[Ian Nacho]

Oyarzabal is up there. 

[Tielemans63]

It'll be Messi, it was decided before the tournament.

 

Did anyone see that clip on Argentine TV when some Argentinian celebrity let slip that he was honoured when he found out the previous day that he'd be presenting Messi with the MotM. I'm not making this up btw

It has been a Messy Tournament

Bellingham has been brilliant ( except in the semi!).
