You sure about Suarez in the worst XI? I mean just because he's a fucking moron doesn't mean he's a bad player

I wouldn't have included the likes of Muntari or KP Boateng either, but they've all let their teams down due to their idiotic antics.

How can you put Suarez in worst XI after England game

In best I would have Thomas Mueller, Shaqiri and Valbuena

I put him in after that Italy match. Muller has been brilliant so I included him too. Shaqiri may have got a hat-trick against Hondurus but he was quite poor in the other two matches IMO. Valbuena was impressive, but others were more so.

James Rodriguez has been the star of the tournament so far though. I knew he was highly rated, but I never knew he was this good.

Very easy to pick holes in the OP team but where's yours?

How can you not have Neymar in your best XI?

How can you not have Neymar in your best XI?

Like Shaqiri, has scored goals but others have played better against superior sides, IMO

 

[tototoner]

OK , not that easy to fit everyone I wanted in but my XI is

-------------------------- Enyeama (NIG) ----------------

Isla (CHI)-------- Luiz (BRA) -- Mascherano (ARG)-- Layun (MEX)

----James Rodrigues (COL)--Valbuena (FRA) ---- Robben (HOL)

----Thomas Mueller (GER)-----Messi (ARG) ------Neymar (BRA)

Front 6 would be very fluid

You can't say that and say James is the star f the tournament. Colombia had probably the easiest group.

Disagree with Glen Johnson too. I think he was one of the best english offensively.

Enyeama has been very good, but IMO Ochoa and Howard have won points for their teams.

Isla, along with Medel have been excellent in that Chile backline. Layun at LB is a great shout, very quick and Brazil struggled with him constantly bombing on.

Mascherano has been playing in midfield, but has done his job well although Argentina's football hasn't been that inspiring. I don't rate David Luiz whatsover, he's technically excellent but he can hardly defend IMO.

Brilliant side going forward, but God help it defensively

Ivory Coast, Japan and Greece are decent sides. Two of them on paper are the best in their respective Continents, and Greece are a very hard side to break down. Three goals and two assists against these teams is impressive IMO.

Can't stand Glen Johnson. Granted, he's pretty good going forward, but he's a nightmare defensively.
