the world cup messed up everything, i mean there were so many players who did consistently well for their clubs for over a year, some are judged based on a tournament that took a month, as much as modric reached such stages with both his teams but can we honestly say he was the most outstanding player of all the club and nations tournaments combined? i rate modric very high but there is no way he was better than everyone, just because one played for a better managed team than the other? did he individually do better than everyone?

Salah for example played his heart out from day one until injured, but Hazard was in the world 11 team just because he plays for a well Belgium? ay some we need to analyse the criteria of picking players too much politics.
