    I tried to be a bit different as I have a feeling many of the teams will be quite similar. Formation is 4-3-3 or 4-2-1-3, however you wish to view it.

    Ochoa (Mexico) - He merely just cemented my opinion of him pre-tournament as the best shot stopper in football.

    F.Johnson (USA) - Wow. I've seen him for Hoffenheim, he's a mixed bag, but he found another gear.. and then another.

    Manolas (Greece) - Brick wall.

    Hummels (Germany) - My confidence in him never wavered despite non-Bundesliga folk thinking he was rubbish ever since Italy vs Germany at the Euro 2012.

    Rodriguez (Switzerland) - Like Ochoa. Brilliant all season for Wolfsburg, just carried that form into this.

    Mascherano (Argentina) - Clumsy game in the Final, but was the leader, the true captain out there. His performance against Holland is one to savour for anyone who appreciates the defensive midfielder role.

    Aránguiz (Chile) - Outshone Vidal for me. The Chile's Iniesta is the biggest compliment I can give him.

    Rodriguez (Colombia) - The true player of the tournament

    Valbuena (France) - France are a different animal with the little maestro in the team, he makes them tick, be it from out wide.

    Origi (Belgium) - Now, I REALLY considered Sanchez and to a lesser extent, Neymar down the middle, and putting in a different another in CM, but I felt Aránguiz was going to get little to no recognition for his performances and I also wanted some height as my time midfield and attack is quite on the small side..I thought Origi was superb in all his cameos and in his full debut vs the USA. He didn't do much in the Argentina as the service into him was near non-existant, but his movement and hold up play for someone who just turned 19, with little first team experience at senior level, especially in regards to starting games was damn impressive.

    Robben (Netherlands) - Dislike him immensely, that should be fairly obvious from anyone who's read my posts or knows me, but there is denying his quality.
