Ricky Button Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Maradona. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darius1998 Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Hirving Lozano. I watched a bit of him at PSV and he has just continued his form and maintained his level. It won't be surprising if he moves to a really big club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bjick Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Beside the massive in form strikers Ronaldo, Lukaku and Kane I enjoyed watching Ruben Loftus-Cheek. When he came on vs Tunisia he immediately made an impact. Played much more opportunistic than Alli/Lingard did imo. And he showed it against Panama too.

GunmaN1905 Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Quintero. One of those players that always performs much better in NT. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pukey Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 I've quite enjoyed watching Lingard, he's been all over the place and Tunisia and Panama really struggled to contain him. If only he finished his chances, but still. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger666 Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Modric. Sublime passing from midfield is a joy to watch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haguey Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Modric and Rakitic looking a class above everybody on the pitch whoever they play. Mandzukic being a total boss aswell. Croatia basically Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bliss Seeker Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Lingard is just all buzz, love watching him. Trippier for England too, didn't actually realise he was that good. I wanted TTA to start over him before the tournament, silly me. I really like James and Caudrado over at Colombia, just so much fun and I think the latter has scored the most underrated goal of the tournament so far. Ronaldo, always. He's a god amongst men and I'm pleased Messi has joined the party. Not nearly as sexy though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haguey Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Echo James aswell Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baptista_8 Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Probably Luka Modric. Unfortunately I've only seen 45 mins of Lozano so far Want to see more of him. Also loved Banega's performance last night, and think Xhaka was very good against Serbia, not just his goal but passing through the lines. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won't be surprising if he moves to a really big club. Barcelona and Liverpool reportedly interested. Looks perfect for Klopp's system (much more so than Shaqiri). He comes second for me though behind Vela. Play inevitably breaks down with Hernandes and Layun though. In terms of England Lingard & Trippier and most concerned when Maguire & Sterling have the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baptista_8 Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Best bit of play though was Spain early on against Portugal. Some lovely interchanges between Silva, Isco etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaceCrusher Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 James and Quintero never fail to impress, always put a smile on my face. A shame that Quintero was born in an era where creative midfielders have to press and defend to play at the top level in Europe. He does neither and is always a bit overweight. But he places the ball where he wants with his eyes closed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JD nawrat Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Hard to say as I've probably only seen about 60% of the games now. I've enjoyed watching Lukaku for Belgium and Modric for Croatia (and Rakitic) most I would say. Also really enjoyed watching Batshuayi, for more than just footballing reasons He's a very good player in the final third but his finishing leaves a lot to be desired. His movement is class though.

I was telling people not to get carried away after one good game VS Egypt (didn't actually see it ) but he looks the real deal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
