Did you think it fair that Modric was awarded as the best world cup player?

I agree that he showed a lot of disposition and claw. But I think his football has fallen in the final stages and today's game was out. But it is a great achievement to reach a final with Croatia and to understand that he is a winner because he is the main player of this team.

this world Cup one is very bright do not stand out. Modric is not a striker and not a machine for scoring goals, he is a player of midfield and fundamental to your team, captain. his team Croatia made a sensation, reaching the final, and he is the team leader. so I agree that he is the best player of this tournament. if we add the Champions League victory this year (and 3 years in a row), Modrich will be a contender for the best player of the year, I do not know whether he will win or not.

Modric is a very good player , but yes , I would also choose Mpappe , a young striker who really played impressive football this mundial , and in the final nobody could defend well against him . I really enjoyed watching this player and I guess he deserved the award of the best WC player

Didn't he already receive that young player award

Can't he be given the best young player's award plus the best player's award at the same time if he is the best player at the tournament but under 21 ? Cause if he is the best young performer doesn't mean he is the best of all players of all ages by all means (But Mpappe happens to be )

I think is was deserved for Modric to win the best player award. For me the top players at this World Cup were Modric, Hazard and Mbappe. You can make a strong case for any of those players winning the award. But the tipping point for me is that I do not believe Croatia would have done as well as they would have had they not had him in the side. Croatia lack the depth that other countries such as Belgium have. They cannot start a player like Dries Mertens or Ousaman Dembele on the bench, as Belgium and France, respectively, are able to.
Modric also isn't a goal scorer like Hazard and Mbappe so it would be unfair to judge solely on that criteria. But the way he picked defenses apart with his passing and vision showed why he's the best midfielder in the world and part of the backbone of Real Madrid, one of the world's biggest clubs.

Mbappe has already won the youngest player award and FIFA would hardly choose him again as the best player in the World Cup. Maybe, would change the order: Hazard, Modric and Mbappe. Another point is that there is no Silver or Bronze Glove. The highlight was the FIFA Fair Play Trophy for Spain, demonstrating the discipline of the team.

I think that the award was based on a number of factors..the draw, how he performed versus argentina was a massive factor, the size of the country he was representing and the fact that they had made it to the WCF...personally i am glad he won it - Croatia would not have made the final without him for sure..(and im an england fan).
Well done Luka..
