World Cup 2022: Team of the Tournament

[the blue panther]

Is that the Maguire who failed to get there in time to challenge Giroud and finished up scoring the French winning goal against England?
These fine margins matter at the top level, so anyone who voted for such a fuckin' clutz doesn't know their arse from their elbow.
He might make Ten Haag's Carabou Cup team, but not much else in the coming months.

xG Maguire.

That defence is going to be under so much pressure as the front five only go one way

 

[ninjamonkey]

Semi-related. Enzo Fernandes had a good tournament no question but gvardiol got absolutely robbed for young player of the tournament. He's been the clear standout.

xG Maguire.

Konate? Didn't even start most of France's games ffs. That's what you get when you let 'data' decide who the best footballers are. That and a transfer policy that makes you buy Andy Carroll and Stewart Downing.

Modric surely makes the best eleven.

Modric surely makes the best eleven.

Was just about to say this, he was still class and ran most of the games I saw, with ease too, can’t believe he’s not in there.

Sensational footballer. And to think he was ridiculed his first season in Madrid. Mad cunts.

Of course, the media spin for Maguire has begun.

I'd go with that tbh. Maybe Walker over Hakimi and Hernandez in over Maguire.

Booyaka-saka!

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Modric looked completely past it in a few of the Croatia games I saw. He gave the ball away cheaply and made countless fouls without being booked.

I’d go for:

Martinez
Hakimi, Otamendi, Gvardiol, Robinson
E Fernandez, Ounahi, De Paul
Messi, Mbappe, Alvarez

 

[ali benarbia's studs]

Croatian goalie deserves a mention.

Surely Alvarez or Giroud deserve to be ahead of Saka?

Not sure on Acuna either

 

[ali benarbia's studs]

French defender Umpacano deserves a mention too.

 

[Phil1]

Maguire has got to have the best PR team in the history of the game.

PR - Probable Risk.

What's so shocking about Saka being there? He had a great tournament and was England's best player

 

[aguero93:20]

Croatian goalie deserves a mention.

He's in absolutely every single team of the tournament despite Lloris being every bit as good, how much more of a mention do you want?

I think when Messi skinned him that was his chances gone! He was brilliant but that moment put an end to his chances of being the young player of the tournament.
