World Cup 2018: Harry Kane wins Golden Boot and Luka Modric the Golden Ball Modric won the Golden Ball at the World Cup, but did he really lead the way concerning individual performances or was his partnership with Rakitic that was more to blame? Who should have won it? Mbappe? Pogba? Kante? Pickford? Cheryshev? Trippier? Hazard?
Do you think though that Mbappe should have got silver in golden ball instead of Hazard, he didn’t even get bronze, Griezmann did.
Watching Modric throughout this world cup will be like watching Xavi throughout Euro 2008 Breathtaking stuff
Mbappe won the youg player of the tournament so I would imagine that would be why. Varane should have been in the top 3 ahead of Griezmamn though. He was immense throughout.
I’d have Mbappe as young player and at least as third behind Modric and Hazard. Feels like they wanted to give it to a French player and already gave an award to Mbappe. Just a case of a defender getting shafted for a more “exciting” player
I'm good with the guys who won the awards. Looking in other terms, I think Trippier had a level of performance I didn't expect from him and was really very good.
