I'd give the position to Inui.

He was very good against Belgium.

I thought Isco was also very good against Morocco and good again in the 60 minutes or so I saw of the Russia match. I didn't see the Iran-Spain game, but I definitely think if Isco produced those same 4 performances for Japan you, me and everyone else would have been very impressed.

Inui was also very good against Senegal - that was probably my alternative pick for favourite game of the tournament just because I had zero expectation that it would be any good but it was a lot of fun to watch.

DF - Granquist was a real throwback for Sweden, was great against Germany and Switzerland. Maybe the left back for Mexico, whose name escapes me, was quite impressive. Tagliafico and Laxalt were half decent. All in all, a very bad tournament for defenders and defending in general.

Jesus Gallardo. Thought he was very good myself too. Just signed for Monterrey though so a move to europe would have to wait. Laxalt was interesting too, good shout.

Proof

Luka Modric should be the favorite for the Ballon d'Or.

There was an ongoing discussion jones. Don’t quote me out of context.

Into the 60th minute of the France-Belgium game, and, yeah, I'm going to put Mbappé into my Team of the Tournament!

Kel Varnsen

Just one player from each team? Difficult. But I'd have Pickford, Modric, Hazard, Varane, Thiago Silva, Tsjerysjev, and Isco in there. Maybe Messi and Ronaldo as well.

Some thoughts post final:

Saves of the tournament

1) Pickford vs Uribe
2) Kawashima vs Grosicki
3) Cho vs Ozil
4) Ochoa vs Kroos
5) Courtois vs Neymar

Goals of the tournament

1) Pavard vs Argentina
2) Cheryshev vs Saudi
3) Chadli vs Japan 🙁
4) Mertens vs Panama
5) Quaresma vs Iran

Wishlist team of the tournament for realistic signings

Navas
Fernandes Salcedo Mina Akanji Gallardo
Sarr Golovin Herrera Lozano
Werner

Good list Clarence. Saves is missing Subasic vs Kane (turn sound off)

Goals I'd probably add Nacho vs Portugal. Also Amrabat vs Spain deserves a mention

Wouldn't mind having Cheryshev or Perisic on our left tbh!

Segway

Subasic

Varane - Godín - Granqvist

Trippier - Modric - De Bruyne - Hazard

Coutinho

Lukaku - Mbappé

Think technically Messi's goal against Nigeria has to be up there. He does these things so regularly and naturally that the level required is taken for granted.

I thought twas a fairly plain goal tbh. Granted the level of skill required to do that is underappreciated, but it was nothing to shout about.

Cheryshev Vs Croatia was some strike too.

Gazza M

subasic and kante stunk the place out pretty badly in the final

I thought it was an outrageous goal myself

He makes them look normal. He makes swag moves look routine. There's no break in his stride after taking it on his thigh.
Outrageous.

I didn't see Messi's goal as anything outrageous. It was a nice goal (good control, good shot), but i could name 5 or 7 just off the top of my head that were more memorable.

Best goals for me were:
