10- Artem Dzyuba:

This russian forward, who currently plays for Zenit of Saint Peterburg, was one of the surprises of the last World Cup played in his country. His great scoring ability, which the russian team took advantage of in the best possible way, surprised all those teams that saw Russia as the weakest and less dangerous team of this tournament.

9- Jordan Pickford:

Passionate, inspired, elastic and above all very talented, Jordan Pickford, was clearly the main reason why England got the 4th place in the last World Cup.
This english goalkeeper, who currently plays for the Everton at the EPL, returned that safety to the english goal, that players like Joe Hart couldn´t achieve on the previous editions of the World Cup.
Brilliant performances, such as the round of 16 against Colombia, or against Sweden, in the quarter finals, being chosen as the MVP of the match, placed him as the best player of the british team.
Jordan Pickford received eight goals in seven matches.

8- Denis Cheryshev:

With a surprising shooting ability, and a great control and dribbling with the ball, Denis Cheryshev, current player of the Valencia F.C, won the hearts of all the russians in the last World Cup.
His contributions to the game of the russian team were essential for them to show a more than respectable role in the football tournament organized by FIFA in 2018.
Cheryshev scored four goals in five matches in the last World Cup, and was elected as the MVP against Egypt and Saudi Arabia.

7- Edinson Cavani:

Without any doubt one of the most dangerous striker of the last World Cup and an irreplaceable part of the Uruguayan team, Edinson Cavani, current player of the french club Paris Saint Germain F.C, showed all his scoring potential and experience to put Uruguay among the five best teams of the World Cup Russia 2018.
Cavani scored three goals in five matches in the last World Cup and was chosen as the MVP at the 16 round match against Portugal.

6- Harry Kane:

Nothing more, nothing less than the top scorer of the last World Cup, Harry Kane, who currently plays for Tottenham Hotspur at the EPL, became the referent of this English team who dreamed with his 2nd world cup, and thanks to his amazing scoring intervention, they were very close to achieved it.
His intuition at the time of scoring and his leadership returned to the English team that respect they had lost on the previous editions of the World Cup.
Kane scored six goals in seven matches and was chosen as the MVP in three matches of the last World Cup.

5- Thibaut Courtois:

Unbelievable, is one of hundreds of words to describe the performance of this belgian goalkeeper, who currently plays for Real Madrid F.C. Courtois, with his saves, transformed the Belgian goal into an indestructible wall which was one of the most difficult to beat in the World Cup.
Courtois received six goals in seven matches. Also FIFA awarded him with the golden glove for his performance in the Belgian goal during the World Cup.

4- Antoine Griezmann:

Intelligence and precision, clearly one of the reasons why the french team achieved this last World Cup played in Russia was the current player of Atletico de Madrid, Griezmann. An excellent control of the ball and a wonderful way to understand the game are the main characteristics that made Antoine Griezmann one of the most dangerous players in this tournament.
He scored four goals in seven matches and was chosen as the MVP in three of those seven matches, including the final match against Croatia.

3- Eden Hazard:

Honestly it´s very difficult nowadays to find a football player that understands the game the way that Eden Hazard does it. This belgian footballer, current player of Chelsea F.C, took the belgian national team game to a next level, being in connection with the rest of the team, Hazard became the main player of his national team. The whole game, either attack or retention of the ball, went through the feet of this incredible footballer. He controlled the belgian game.
Hazard scored 3 goals in seven matches, and was chosen as the MVP in the three matches of the group phase.

2- Kylian Mbappé:

If you think that running fast is difficult, imagine what it is like to run fast with a ball on your feet in a World Cup match, and that was one of the main characteristics of the current player of PSG, Mbappé. His scoring ability combined with his tremendous speed made Mbappé one of the most dangerous strikers of the last World Cup. The rival defenders went crazy trying to catch Mbappé who, with his speed, took the necessary distance, between him and the defenders, to reach the opposite goal and score.
Kylian scored four goals in seven matches and was chosen as the MVP in two of those seven matches. Also FIFA awarded him with the prize for the best young player of the World Cup.

1- Luka Modric:

And we arrived to the first place. This player was the most outstanding footballer of this tournament organized by FIFA. The current player of Real Madrid, Luka Modric, showed everyone how to dispute a World Cup in an excellent way. Perseverance, an amazing technique, understanding the game like no one did it, Modric took Croatia into a new level of football competition, a level that nobody expected for this balkan team. The whole croatian football passed through Modric´s feet, he controlled the ways, he controlled the game, and that´s why he deserved the first place at this top ten list.
