His teammate Modric appears to have been chosen for taking Croatia to the World Cup semi-finals in Qatar, as does defender Gvardiol. Walker came in due to his good performance with England and Van Djik for his security in the Dutch defense.
Finalists and highlights of the World Cup in Qatar, Messi e Mbappé, teammates from Paris Saint-Germain, were sung for what they did in the impressive campaigns of champions Argentina and runners-up, France, respectively.
