It’s been nearly a year since the Greatest Stage of Football has occurred in Qatar. Players like Mac Allister and Bono gave us amazing performances and grow afterwards. But which player fell from Grace after the Tournament?
Anybody from the Senegal team of 2002. Game one was their absolute peak. And what a peak it was
Noppert
Mac has been woeful this season. Guy became incredibly overrated off a decent season with mid table Brighton and a few good World Cup games
Mac is played out of position.
Not this World Cup, but James Rodriguez in the 2014 WC oh my god…
Dibu, honestly he was shit
The fall-off is why I hate players getting nominated for the Ballon d’Or off the back of a great World Cup. Bounou finished 13th or something. A great World Cup should strengthen a players chances at winning it who were already going to be nominated I remember the 2002 World Cup, several Senaglese, Turkish, Japanese and South Korean players got nominated who didn’t amount to much that year outside of the World Cup.
Messi, man fell off because of the number of ballon dors he is carrying around
Ziyech
Lionel Messi
Messi
Asamoah Gyan got a balon d’or nomination, but I haven’t heard anything from him in years.
Messi
Im surprised I haven’t seen valverde. Heard guys saying he was one of the best midfielders in the world pre world cup to not being talked about nearly as much
James Rodriguez
