With the quarterfinals of the World Cup completed, it’s time to check what the best ‘eleven’ of the round looks like that brought the four semifinalists of Qatar 2022.
As it could not have happened, Morocco’s success in eliminating Portugal resulted in a dominant presence of Walid Regragui’s team in said lineup. As many as four footballers put the African team in the most outstanding eleven in the quarterfinals.
It is followed by France with three selected (Koundé, Griezmann and Giroud) and Croatia with two (Livakovic and Lovren).
1
Livakovic
Croatia
The Croatian goalkeeper only saved Japan three penalties and was also decisive in the shootout against Brazil, stopping Rodrygo’s first.
two
Koundé
France
The Barcelona defender shines playing as a right back. He shut down his side and ‘dry’ Foden in a solid performance.
3
el yamiq
Morocco
He came to replace the headdress Aguerd and was the best defender for Morocco in their victory over Portugal. Cut fast and invincible high.
4
Lovren
Croatia
His performance was reminiscent of his best years at Liverpool. There is no mistake in the entrances and the positioning.
5
Attiah-Allah
Morocco
Another of Morocco’s substitutes when Mazraoui was replaced. The African team didn’t even notice it, and they didn’t have to worry about their side.
6
sew
Morocco
One of the great surprises of this World Cup. The Angers midfielder shone against Spain and again against Portugal, showing that he is a complete footballer.
7
Amrabat
Morocco
The best defensive midfielder in the tournament. A cover that spans many meters and is very stealthy.
8
griezmann
France
He is the channeler of the offensive torrent of ‘bleus’. His drive and his criteria to decide which is the best option was once again decisive against England.
9
Messi
Argentina
An assist for Molina came up to open the scoring and widen the gap with a perfect penalty. Selections for the Albiceleste World Cup were born from his boots.
10
Giroud
France
His performance and his goals (one against England) make us forget about Benzema’s absence. That’s all it said.
Eleven
Weghorst
Netherlands
The Dutch ‘giants’ forced extra time against Argentina with two miraculous goals.
