Gotta go with Bellingham, kid’s been running the show like he’s been doing it for a decade.
Bellingham's been unreal but I'm leaning toward Musiala tbh, the way he glides past defenders is just different.
Musiala's been silky smooth but I’m still stuck on how dominant Rodri's been, lowkey the engine for everything Spain does
🐐 yeah rodri been the real engine but mbappe carrying france hard lately 🔥
Rodri’s a great shout, honestly feels like Spain would fall apart without him dictating the tempo.
Rodri’s a machine, but Bruno Fernandes has been quietly pulling all the strings for Portugal, his vision’s been next level.
Rodri’s been class but I’m all in on Bellingham, feels like he’s just decided he’s the main character every time he steps on the pitch
Bruno's been so underrated this tournament, it's wild. He's just pinging passes no one else even sees.
Bruno’s vision is elite but I’m still stuck on Bellingham, the kid just refuses to have a quiet game
Does Griezmann’s workrate qualify or nah?
Bellingham's confidence is unreal but Griezmann covers every blade of grass and still creates, I think that kind of two way engine is harder to replace.
I can't stop watching how Gvardiol shut down that entire left side, proper brick wall stuff. Was half expecting him to still be sprniting when the rest were on the bus home.
My mate never rated Enzo Fernandez until I made him watch a whole match just tracking his midfield shifts, now the bloke wont stop texting me player comps at 2am.
Everyone hypes Bellingham but his final ball was sloppy tbh
Rodri quietly won every duel and recycled possession without anyone noticing. Honestly I stopped watching the ball and just tracked his positioning for a good ten minutes.
Rodri is solid but I think Casemiro's tackling felt sharper, especially when they were undr pressure deep.
Josko Gvardiol doesn't seem bothered by anyone's speed, his recovery runs feel completly effortless. He made some attackers second guess themselves just by standing there.
I saw my neighbor scream so loud at Rice's interception his cat ran into a wall.
Mbape
Anyone else feel like Bellingham’s been a bit quiet after that first game or am I missin something?
Honesstly Mac Allister flying under the radar but his movement off the ball created so much space, I was at a pub and the whole place groaned when he backheeled that pass. Felt like everytime I looked up he was in a pocket nobody tracked.
I get why people hype Gvardiol but I actually think his positioning has been a bit off a few times, he got lucky not to get punished. Still a top talent though, just maye not the most impressive yet.
Has Griezmann's work rate tihs year surprised you as much as it has me?
I was watching the Netherlands match at a packed bar and the whole place erupted when Gakpo cut inside and scored, it felt like the ceiling was gonna cave in. He’s been electric every time he gets the ball and just looks so confident for his age.
Leo messi got my attention every wc
Van Dijk lookd like he was just having a sunday walk in the park during that whole match honestly.
Gvardiol reads the game like he’s got a cheat code
Rodri stood out for me, his reading of the game feels amost telepathic.

Football sweet
Musiala runs are just cheat codes honestly
Haaland has been the viking bot and all banging goals like he out of his mind but Mbappe keeps blowing my mind and its so overwhelming, Mbappe takes the spot for me
Gvardiol’s calmness on the baall is unreal.
Bellingham's brace against Norway was cold, feels like he's just warming up now for the semis
