The World Cup certificate of the superstars

While some superstars have been eliminated for a long time, others can still hope for the world title. Here you can find the grades of some star footballers, with 1 being the best and 5 being the worst.

Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal/Real Madrid): Started furiously with three goals against Spain, but crashed along with his subordinates against Uruguay's defensive block in the round of 3. Often wanted too much and seemed over-motivated. Grade: XNUMX+

Lionel Messi (Argentina/FC Barcelona): In Russia, he took on the role of coach Jorge Sampaoli, who had been demoted to an extra, and was, as always, the beacon of hope for an entire nation - too much of a good thing for the 31-year-old. His heyday is coming to an end. Grade: 4

Neymar (Brazil/Paris St. Germain): His genius flashed from time to time, but what remains in memory is his embarrassing acting. Dangerous role model for young people. Disenchanted by the magnificent Belgians. Grade: 4+

Harry Kane (England/Tottenham Hotspur): Leader of the young English lion pride, surprisingly mature for a 24 year old. Without airs and graces, pleasantly grounded. Six goals so far speak for themselves. Note 1-

Kevin De Bruyne (Belgium/Manchester City): Together with Eden Hazard, the heart and brain of the Belgians, incredibly quick to think, technically outstanding, seems to be continually improving as the final round progresses. Potential world footballer. Grade: 2+

Eden Hazard (Belgium/Chelsea FC): Hardly inferior to De Bruyne. Not quite as determined, but even more confident on the ball. Frustrates opponents one by one in one-on-one situations. Grade: 2- So far, Luka Modric has fully lived up to his superstar role. © APA/afp / ADRIAN DENNIS

Luka Modric (Croatia/Real Madrid): The pivotal point in the Croatian game, irreplaceable as a driver, director and strong-nerved leader: Missed a penalty against Denmark and converted in the penalty shootout - as if nothing had happened. Note 1-

Luis Suarez (Uruguay/FC Barcelona): Decent preliminary round. Was in the shadow of Edinson Cavani in the impressive 2-1 win in the round of 0. Ineffective without Cavani in the 2-3 defeat against France in the quarter-finals. Note XNUMX

Paul Pogba (France/Manchester United): Solid, unspectacular, improved over the course of the tournament. Dedicates himself fully to the service of the team. Grade: 3+

Antoine Griezmann (France/Atletico Madrid): Has not yet made a breakthrough on the world stage as top scorer at the European Championships. Already scored three times (two penalties). Important leading figure among the French. Grade: 2 Between genius and madness: Kylian Mbappe. © APA/afp / FRANCK FIFE

Kylian Mbappe (France/Paris St. Germain): Outstanding talent, his turbo performance against Argentina was a World Cup highlight. Still too shaky. Invisible in the round of 2 against Uruguay. Grade: XNUMX-

James Rodriguez (Colombia/Bayern Munich): Plagued by injuries, she cried bitter tears in the stands during the round of 4 exit against England. Extremely strong in the preliminary round against Poland, otherwise unremarkable. - Grade: XNUMX+

Toni Kroos (Germany/Real Madrid): His stroke of genius against Sweden briefly gave the German team hope. Overall, there was far too little from the Champions League winner. Grade: 5

Mohamed Salah (Egypt/Liverpool FC): Went into the tournament under attack and as a sole entertainer was unable to prevent Egypt from being eliminated from the preliminary round. After all, a two-time goalscorer. Grade: 4+ Had to pack his bags early: Andres Iniesta. © APA/afp / KIRILL KUDRYAVTSEV

Andres Iniesta (Spain/Vissel Kobe): A shadow of its former self after a good start against Portugal, it represents the bitter end of the Spanish ball possession era. In his last international match, he only came off the bench in the embarrassing exit against Russia in the round of 4. - Grade: XNUMX-

Robert Lewandowski (Poland/Bayern Munich): He wants to be a world star, but he isn't - he didn't do anything with his goalless and ineffective performance in Russia - once again. Criticized his teammates publicly. Grade: 5-
