Where are you taking the "Best Player" stuff from?Eliam_Dar said:
Because I think that is strictly subjective.
For example, Nakamura didn't do pretty much anything this tournament, Villa has been more acute then Xavi, Meireles dominated Ronaldo and Podolski was worse then Klose.
From the expectations before the tournament.JourneyThroughHell said:
you can check them here, though they are in spanish www.ole.com.ar
I do agree with you, but I wanted to keep it as legit as possible so I used a database
EDIT: Probably not the best database since I actually had to correct one of Germany's world cup that according to that site was won in 1978, when it was actually won in 1974
