The World Cup break is often used to summarize the situation, and this one is of course the most interesting together with the scorers’ list.
On average, looking at the five matches so far, Lionel Messi is rated the best – 8.09.
They are immediately followed by club teammate Kylian Mbappe – 7.98, as well as two other Frenchmen – Griezmann (7.61) and Giroud (7.40).
Interestingly, goalkeeper Livakovic is fifth, fully deserved, considering that he was a hero in the penalty shootouts with Japan and Brazil, his rating is 7.35.
There is only one Moroccan in the top 10 – Ashraf Hakimi (7.34) and three more Frenchmen – Rabiot, Theo Hernandez and Ousmane Dembele, and Dejan Lovren closes the top 10 – 7.15.
It would certainly not be a mistake if Josko Guardiol, who is definitely the revelation of the tournament, is here, as well as Morocco’s goalkeeper, Bono, who is definitely waiting for a transfer to a big club in 2023.
Who deserves to be MVP of the tournament and is it necessary to be a world champion to get this recognition?
Messi was named the best in 2014, although he lost to Germany in the final, but he practically single-handedly led the Argentines to the very end…
