So, a best XI would look something like this:

Hazard - Kane - Neymar

Isco - DeBruyne - Modric - Messi

Gimenez - Mina - Trippier

Schmeichel

I can believe that.

Mbappe and Griezmann have been thrilling for moments, but I don't think they've put together a consistent tournament like the attackers rated above them. Still, without a single player rated in this team, I have France taking it all. I predicted Belgium before the World Cup started, but I think France have all phases working. Their throwback, defensive-minded young fullbacks have really given them a stout presence. ALLEZ LES BLEUS!
