Messi and Neymar headline best X1
IMAGINE having World Cup standouts Lionel Messi, Neymar, James Rodriguez and Arjen Robben all in the same team.
After two weeks and 48 group-stage games in what is widely considered the best World Cup in a generation, there are already some players who have shone above the rest.
Below is a composite team of the tournament so far, in the heavily favored 4-3-3 formation
Goalkeeper: Guillermo Ochoa, Mexico
Produced a series of stunning saves to secure Mexico a 0-0 draw against Brazil.
Right back: Serge Aurier, Ivory Coast
Aurier has stood out for his marauding thrusts down the right flank and his crossing ability.
Left back: Junior Diaz, Costa Rica
The whole Costa Rica defense deserves credit but Diaz gets the nod as he has complemented the attack.
Center back: Rafael Marquez, Mexico and Thiago Silva, Brazil
Silva has remained the unruffled presence at the heart of the Brazil defense.
Midfield: Charles Aranguiz, Chile, Blaise Matuidi, France and James Rodriguez, Colombia
Rodriguez has scored in all three games.
Forward: Neymar, Brazil
The poster boy of the World Cup, he has four goals. Brazil expects more of the same.
Forward: Arjen Robben, Netherlands, Robben helped rip Spain’s defense apart.
Forward: Lionel Messi, Argentina
Messi has four goals and is carrying Argentina’s attacking burden on his own.
