FIFA World Cup 2014 All-WC Team?

Is this a joke thread or sth? De Jong got injured very early vs Mexico and missed the rest of the tournament. David Luiz had a shocking performance against Brazil. Vertongen is such a random choice, Blind or Rojo are the guys for that spot. Suarez missed the first game, was brilliant in the 2nd and then embarrassed himself in the 3rd. Pirlo had one great game and was meh in the two others.

Replace those guys with Hummels, Rojo/Blind, Mascherano, Schweinsteiger and Muller and you have a more proper team. An argument can be made for including Cuadrado and Kroos imo.

I think he defended good, but the players around him were really bad.

Check out his heatmap against Germany, he was all over the place.

Should Lahm have gotten the Golden Ball instead of Messi? Don't kill me, I'm just asking.

In my opinion Lahm was good and Messi was good, but Robben was great.

So in my opinion Robben should have gotten the Golden Ball instead.

No, he played 62 minutes against Argentina after the Mexico match.

Before that he played really good against Spain, Australia and Chile.

I saw one match of him and I thought he was good.

Blind is a weak defender, but it worked because the Netherland had 5 defenders. I don't want Blind as a defender in a 4 mans defence. Blind is better at the midfield in my opinion.

I didn't really watched Rojo, but I heard he was good.

Suarez missed the first game, was brilliant in the 2nd and then embarrassed himself in the 3rd. Pirlo had one great game and was meh in the two others.

Suarez was great against England that's why I put him in my team.

Pirlo had also a very good match, that's why I also put him in my team.

Check out his heatmap against Germany, he was all over the place.

The whole team collapsed against Germany, but he still tried really hard.

And in my opinion he was good in the other matches.
 
--Muller-Messi-Robben
Kroos-Mascherano-Rodriguez
Rojo-Garay-Hummels-Lahm
--------Neuer

But guys like Neymar, Pogba, Varane, T. Silva, Schweinsteiger, Benzema, Howard, Ochoa deserve a mention aswell. Few others i should i guess but thats ehough.
 
Neuer

Lahm---Hummels---Vlaar---Blind

Mascherano---Schweinsteiger

Robben---James---Muller

Messi

Best player: Robben or James
 
Neuer
Lahm, DeVrij, Vlaar, Hoewedes
Kroos, Messi, Oscar, J Rodriguez
Robben, Muller

Schurrle, Benzema, Schweinsteiger off the bench.
 
Tough to fit them in the right positions.

Ochoa
Lahm Hummels Vlaar Blind
M
 
Neuer
Lahm Hummels Boateng Howedes
Schurrle Schwein Muller Kroos
Gotze


something like that should win the cup

But Messi is a good one? His performance this world cup wasn't good at all IMO.

Messi scored 4 goals and had some key assists en route to a finals appearance. He was t typical Messi, but he was still effective. Suarez, on the other hand, had one good game and got himself banned from the sport for biting. Defensively, David Luiz was complete shit.

That said, Messi didn't deserve the Golden Ball, and I'd have no problems with someone leaving him off the team. He didn't have a nightmare tournament like the other two, though.
