    14 - Javier Mascherano

    He just doesn't cut it for me as a centre half against top teams. Perhaps I'm being cynical but too much is expected from his partner when we play against top tier opposition.

    Douglas Costa

    Brazil has some of the best wingers in world football but it's central midfield where the problems arise. It's not so much that they don't have thepersonnel,it's the frustrating, pragmatic nature of their coaches who sacrifice creativity for graft. If only they are brave enough to release the...

    Eden Hazard

    It's difficult to say who's better between Hazard and Neymar. Hazard is a better dribbler and stronger on the ball but Neymar has better movement and has more off a killer instinct.

    Aymen Abdennour

    He reminds me of Brazilian defender Alex.

    Thiago Translantara

    True but it's hard to stop all three on any given day. Besides we do see moments of creativity from Alves,Iniesta and Rakitic.

    Marc Bartra

    One is younger and nowhere near his prime whilst the other is probably past his prime. I know who I would choose.

    Marc Bartra

    Whenever I see Batra play he is a class act, I just get the feeling we don't trust our youngsters anymore. I would have him in the starting lineup ahead of Mascherano, Mathieu and Vermaelen but it's obvious that's never going to happen. If I was him, I would consider doing a Thiago and Montoya...

    Arda Turan

    I haven't seen much of him either but from what I have seen he reminds me a bit of Seedorf but with more intensity in his play. My only concern is he doesn't seem to last 90 minutes often.

    Arda Turan

    Can someone explain why he rarely seems to last 90 minutes? I know Athletico play an exhausting time of game but does he have some fitness issues or something?

    Alexis Sanchez

    Guy is on another level at the moment. Slick, skilful, insane energy and commitment. What is there not to like.

    Paul Scholes

    Messi let who go? I was at Old Trafford that game and the general consensus amongst the United fans after that game was that they had never seen a player like Messi. He was head and shoulders above everyone else. Poor old Scholes kept getting isolated and tormented by him. Great goal by...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v4

    Messi is the best player I've seen but he really needs to roll up his sleeves and get involved more in these kind of games. He's always on the peripheral of the game when he should be demanding the ball. I still can't fathom why Tata subbed on 2 useless craps Lavezzi and Higuain,it was a recipe...

    14 - Javier Mascherano

    I thought he was comfortably their best defensive player, he was everywhere.

    Javier Pastore

    Class player and perhaps finally Argentina have a player alongside Messi who can link the midfield and attack. They have been crying out for a Riquelme type of player for years and although I don't see him play that often and perhaps he's too attack minded but it's nice to have a midfielder who...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v4

    Incredible performance. His ball control, dribbling, awareness, game intelligence and precision of passing is absolutely untouchable. Only thing missing is his amazing finishing skills are not at his usual beastly level. We must remember he's playing right wing/midfielder so scoring goals are a...

    Brazil

    Dunga will probably call up some third rate CB plying his trade in China or the Middle East.

    Brazil

    Agree about Thiago Silva, the look on his face during the penalty shootout summed him up.

    Brazil

    Everyone is a better player when they're not in the team. The problems Brazil experienced in the Copa were the same as when Oscar was in it. People were using his non-stop football as an excuse for his poor performances. Admittedly, Coutinho and Firmino were poor but this is the problem with...

    Roberto Firmino

    Looks very average to me but I've never seen him play in his natural position which begs the question, why on earth would you play him out of position?

    Brazil

    There is a serious technical deficiency in the heart of the Brazilian midfield. They have no clue how to retain possession or create chances. It has been like this for over a decade imo, they just don't have individual brilliance to cover this fundamental flaw anymore. On top off that, they...
