Select 3 to 5 defenders. Top voted players, formation dependent, will appear on the final squad which will have no less than 3, more than 5 defenders.

I put quite a long shortlist down, so if you still have to take it upon yourself to disagree with someone I posted then get stuffed.

Thiago Silva - Core piece of Brazil's squad. Capitulated without their captain v Germany.

Mats Hummels - 2 goals. Absolutely stunning performances all around.

Giancarlo González - Helped Costa Rica to a stunning goal conceding record of 2 in 5 matches (v URU, ITA, ENG, GRE, NED).

Ron Vlaar - Who can

Daley Blind - tell these

Stefan de Vrij - guys apart?

Marcos Rojo - Strongest Argentine defender

Philipp Lahm - It's Philipp Lahm

Rafa Marquez - Mexico's best defender. Scored crucial goal v Costa Rica. Insane performance v. BRA, NED.

Dani Alves - Cocky **** **** **** shouldn't be here, but he's still appearing in a lot of tournament XIs.

Ezequiel Garay - Included by El Turco as a wild card.

Feel more than welcome to add your own if you like. There were a lot of people I could've added but limited to 10 in the poll creation

garay, vlaar , blind,ricardo rodriguez


changed hummels to rodriguez to have two full backs

Brazil should be disqualified from having any defenders on these lists.

I sure as hell didn't vote for any.

Not enough Varane tbh
only ever saw him make the one mistake the entire tourney
Ricardo Rodriguez should be on here also

Zabaleta and Debuchy are awful misses too. Daniel Alves wtf.

Voted for Silva, Hummels, Blind and Rojo.

From here, Gonzalez, Silva, Hummels and Blind.

Don't think Lahm should be here considering he spent most of the time in midfield.

Dani Alves too

I refuse to vote without Jerome Boateng on the list, sorry.

Especially when you have Dani freaking Alves on the list.

I would include Bruno Martins Indi as well, mainly because of the memes.

I did vote Lahm and Hummels, but I really missed Garay and Vlaar.

My back four would probably look like that:

Vlaar-Hummels-Garay-Lahm

(Also Claar is normally a Center Back, but it seems to be trending to put CB on the wings anyway.. )

One could also include Blind, Boateng, Rojo,...
