Paul Brown - Daily Star TEAM OF THE TOURNAMENT SERGIO ROMERO - Conceded only once in the knockout stage and saved two penalties in the semi-final shoot-out with Holland. Germany's Manuel Neuer pushed him close. PHILIPP LAHM - Things started to click for Germany when they switched him from midfield to right-back. A captain who led by example. GIANCARLO GONZALEZ - The main reason Costa Rica went so far - and only conceded twice in the whole tournament. MATS HUMMELS - Gave one of the best performances of the World Cup against France. Badly missed versus Algeria. MARCOS ROJO - Pegged as a weak link but a key part of the best back four in the competition. Also scored in a tight win over Nigeria. JAVIER MASCHERANO - Why did Barcelona ever play him at centre-back Brilliant in his favourite position as the anchor man in midfield. BASTIAN SCHWEINSTEIGER - Part of the best midfield in - Part of the best midfield in the tournament. Out-performed team-mates Toni Kroos and Sami Khedira in the final. ARJEN ROBBEN - Has never played better. Dangerous teams focused all their attention on him during the latter stages. JAMES RODRIGUEZ - The Golden Boot winner scored some great goals and carried Colombia when they needed him most. What a future he has. LIONEL MESSI - Failed in the final but his team would not have made it there without him. Bailed them out repeatedly in the group stage. His best World Cup. THOMAS MULLER - Scored five goals and created three more despite playing as a striker in some games and a winger in others. Looks ungainly. Often unstoppable.

Graham Spiers (Sunday Herald) Manuel Neuer (Germany): Many have gone for Keylor Navas as the tournament's best goalkeeper, especially given his heroics against Holland in the round of 16. But Neuer clinches his spot in my XI, given that he can play as an outfield deep-lying sweeper, as he showed against Algeria and USA, never mind his agility and safe hands. One of Bayern Munich's many great prizes. Philipp Lahm (Germany) Hardly an original pick, but Lahm's endless ability to run and forage and piece Germany's play together makes him unmissable for me. Also, he gives me the option of a right-back, his original position, even though both Lahm himself and Joachim Low currently prefer him to operate in midfield. Mats Hummels (Germany) He is a rock, he is immense. Hummels' goal thrust Germany into the semi-finals, but that apart, he has a physical presence and game-intelligence about him to be one of Germany's greatest assets. In Sunday's final against Argentina Hummels again shut the German gate at the back, causing Messi and co much frustration. Hector Moreno (Mexico) Suffered a leg-fracture against Holland, but until then had been Mexico's rock and one of the World Cup's best defenders. A courageous player, Moreno's commitment was never more apparent than in the 0-0 draw over regulation against Brazil, when Neymar failed to get the better of him. At 26, it will be strange if Moreno does not get a big move sooner or later from Espanyol. Marcelo (Brazil) Maybe against my better judgement, I'm sticking by Marcelo, despite Brazil's ultimate humiliation, not to mention his occasional forays into all the wrong places on the park. Earlier in the tournament he was a dream full-back for Luiz Felipe Scolari, with his mix of comfort on the ball, aggression, and attacking instinct. It all went wrong for the hosts, but Marcelo, for me, is still a remarkable left-back. Wesley Sneijder (Holland) The warrior-midfielder is said to be past his best since moving to Galatasaray in Turkey, and it's true that Sneijder started slowly at this World Cup. But then he rose to it, rescuing Holland with a dramatic late equaliser against Mexico before being an eminent force in their quarter-final tussle with Costa Rica. Still a hard, fine player. Javier Mascherano (Argentina) Has not gone without his critics, but not over the past four weeks in Brazil. The 30-year-old has played at the heart of Argentina's midfield, foraging forward when he can, or being the midfield anchor when the job required. In the semi final against Holland Mascherano had the nerve to lunge and make timely tackles against Arjen Robben when the Dutch attacker was threatening to run riot. A magnificent player. Alexis Sanchez (Chile) One of the undoubted stars of the World Cup, and a man who is said to have caused Santi Cazorla, Mathieu Flamini and Mikel Arteta to cheer to the rafters at Arsenal's training camp when news of his £30m transfer to north London was confirmed last week. A player who produces work and toil along with skill, it is no wonder Arsene Wenger has landed him from Barcelona. (I've shifted Thomas Muller to the left, in order to play Sanchez on the right). Lionel Messi (Argentina) Not been his best - and his father claims he has been tired - but how do you leave him out? Has still been very significant for Argentina, scoring four goals to edge them to the final, and been a prime mover in his team's acts of destruction in the final third. Even without the ball, Messi pulls defenders out of position, creating fresh avenues to goal. The ultimate accolade: he is "one of the greatest ever seen". Thomas Muller (Germany) Die Mannschaft's greatest weapon? Probably. Given Germany's steady march, Muller is another who is impossible to omit. Still just 24, starring for a second time in a World Cup, dominant for Germany against both Portugal and the USA, he is seemingly relentless. On this form, what coach in the world would not want Thomas Muller? James Rodriguez (Colombia) Having been bought last summer for over £40m by Monaco, it's been a slight surprise that the world has been surprised by the electric Rodriguez. He is a must in anyone's World Cup XI, having initially helped Colombia romp through the group-stage, and scoring 6 goals with plenty of assists in all. Has been a thoroughly eye-catching striker.
Nick Howson (International Business Times) Goalkeeper: Manuel Neuer – Germany - PLAYER OF THE TOURNAMENT At times unbeatable in the German goal with a bear-like presence between the sticks while he provided an efficient role as sweeper which Franz Beckenbauer would have been proud of. Right back: Cristian Gamboa – Costa Rica Part of a Costa Rica team which finished the tournament unbeaten, and a defence which never conceded from open play. The thrust he provided from right back will not have gone unnoticed. Centre back: Mats Hummels – Germany The 25 year old defied fears over his pace to lead the German defence to victory in Brazil. Assured whether it be via a last ditch challenge, or in the opposition box where he scored against France. Centre back: Gary Medel - Chile With few other options, Chile's all action style in the early stages of the tournament was defined by Medel's tenacity. Proved physical presence isn't required to look comfortable at the back. Left back: Daley Blind – Netherlands Provided two assists in the opening win over Spain before netting his first international goal against Brazil in the third place play-off. Contributed great balance on the left and superb versatility. Midfield: Javier Mascherano – Argentina Still possesses a cynical and destructive side but was integral to Argentina's solidity while his distribution so often released Lionel Messi. More effective in the middle. Midfield: Toni Kroos – Germany Perhaps the best all-round midfielder in Europe. Can play from the back with dependence and style as he did against France, or provide the finishing touch like against Brazil. Outstanding talent. Right wing - Juan Cuadrado – Colombia The verve of Colombia's group stage success was created by the Fiorentina wideman. Another left-footed operating from the right, and his dazzling touch was a regular highlight. Attacking midfield: James Rodriguez – Colombia Not quite the discovery of this World Cup but not far short. Rodriguez was the fulcrum of Colombia's run to the last eight and scored the goal of the tournament against Uruguay in the last 16. Left wing: Arjen Robben – Netherlands At his destructive and clinical best in Brazil, despite his performances being littered with controversy. Typified the goal-happy Dutch in the early stages as his tricky bamboozled defences. Forward – Lionel Messi – Argentina Though short of his very best, his influence was enough to carry Argentina to the final. Scored four goals in the group stage but will likely be remembered for failing against Germany.
Oliver Kay - The Times MANUEL NEUER (GERMANY) Many strong contenders, including Tim Howard, Raïs M'Bolhi and Keylor Navas, but in this tournament Neuer has reaffirmed his position as the world's best goalkeeper. A superb shot-stopper, but also outstanding in his anticipation and distribution. PABLO ZABALETA (ARGENTINA) An old-fashioned full back for the modern age. Fearless, combative but always fair, the Manchester City defender has had an excellent tournament, just squeezing out candidates such as Serge Aurier, Mauricio Isla, Juan Cuadrado and Fabian Johnson. MATS HUMMELS (GERMANY) Next time you hear someone suggest that Chris Smalling has great potential, tell them that Hummels, at 25, is only a year older. Rarely flustered, always in the right place, he is already among the world's best central defenders and will remain so for a long time. GIANCARLO GONZÁLEZ (COSTA RICA) Even in a team full of impressive performers, the 26-year-old centre half from Columbus Crew stood out. A leader and a fierce competitor, but also an organiser and a strategist. Did he enjoy a purple patch on the World Cup stage or is he really this good? PHILIPP LAHM (GERMANY) Started the tournament in midfield, excelled at right back and is included at left back here because his versatility allows the tournament's two best full backs to be included. Good as he is in midfield, his understanding of the full-back role is second to none. JAVIER MASCHERANO (ARGENTINA) Rarely these days do you find a midfielder whose tenacity is matched by tactical discipline and intelligent use of the ball. Display against Holland in the semi-final, when he blocked Arjen Robben's goalbound shot in stoppage time, was inspiring. TONI KROOS (GERMANY) The epitome of control, composure and understated creativity. He defined the 7-1 victory over Brazil and it almost defies belief that Bayern Munich appear ready to let him go after a breakdown in contract negotiations. Their loss will be Real Madrid's gain. ARJEN ROBBEN (HOLLAND) What an irritant, but what a player. He started with a superb display in the 5-1 win over Spain and continued to terrorise opponents throughout. He is that rare thing: a fast, tricky, penetrative winger who looks even better at 30 than he did at 20. THOMAS MÜLLER (GERMANY) There are more graceful, more athletic and more powerful players in world football, but when it comes to intelligence and instinct, few are better than Muller. At 24, he already looks set to beat Miroslav Klose's record as highest World Cup goalscorer. JAMES RODRÍGUEZ (COLOMBIA) Deserved better than elimination at the quarter-final stage, but had already made his mark with some wonderful moments and goals, above all that stunning chest-and-volley against Uruguay. Another who, dauntingly, looks bound for Real Madrid. LIONEL MESSI (ARGENTINA) He has rarely reached the heights of his Barcelona pomp, but, the semi-final against Holland aside, few, if any, players have done more in this tournament to elevate a team to a higher level. To overlook him would be to take his brilliance for granted.

Good morning. I'd like to publish my conclusions in a few days to contribute to this thread with the best average ratings, the best XI, and the best players. Thanks to @comme, I've been able to add many more ideal XI proposals to the sources I've found. I think the sample is quite significant in this regard. As for the match ratings or overall ratings for the tournament, I believe I currently have twelve sources. That's not bad, but I'd appreciate your help in adding a few more. Surprisingly, France Football only published the ratings for matches in which France played; from "As," I only have the June ratings, so I'm missing the July ones; I don't have a single British source, but I don't know if anyone still has or can locate, for example, the ratings from The Guardian, Match, The Independent, Sky, BBC, or any other publications that may have been published. Sometimes La Stampa or La Repubblica have published their ratings, and I imagine Tuttosport does too. From Argentina, I have Olé's, but I'm missing El Gráfico and Clarín. Perhaps @Happie11's group could share their ratings. Anyway, I'd be very grateful if anyone has the ratings, even if they're just overall, from any of these sources or any other. I don't need WhoScored, Sofascore, DBSCalcio, Kicker, Marca, Guerin Sportivo, Anotando Futbol, Gazzetta dello Sport, Placar, Olé, Mundo Deportivo, L'Équipe, or Corriere dello Sport, although in the case of the latter, I'm missing ratings for quite a few matches. Buenos días. Me gustaría publicar en pocos días las conclusiones para aportar a este hilo los mejores ratings promedio, el mejor XI y los mejores jugadores. Gracias a @comme he podido agregar a las fuentes encontrados, muchas más propuestas de XI ideales. Creo que, en este sentido, la muestra es muy significativa. En cuanto a los ratings por partido o globales del campeonato, creo que en este momento tengo doce fuentes. No está mal pero me gustaría contar con la ayuda de ustedes para poder agregar algunas más. Sorprendentemente, France Football solo publicó los ratings de los partidos en los que jugaba Francia; de "As" solo tengo las notas de junio, así que me faltan las de julio; no tengo ni una sola fuente británica, pero no sé si alguien conservará o puede localizar, por ejemplo, las de The Guardian, Match, The Independente, Sky, BBC o cualquier otra que se pudiese haber publicado. En ocasiones se han publicado las de La Stampa o la Repubblica y me imagino que Tuttosport también lo haría. De Argentina, tengo las de "Olé", pero me faltan las de "El Gráfico" y "Clarín". Tal vez el grupo de @Happie11 pusieran en común sus calificaciones. En fin, estaré muy agradecido si alguien tiene los ratings, aunque sean globales de alguna de estas fuentes o de cualquier otra. No me hacen falta Whoscored, Sofascore, DBSCalcio, Kicker, Marca, Guerin Sportivo, Anotando Futbol, Gazzetta dello Sport, Placar, Olé, Mundo Deportivo, L'equipe ni Corriere dello Sport, aunque en el caso de este último me faltan los de bastantes partidos.
Just as a note @Titanlux I guess (according to sources page) the DBS Calcio ones are from Gazzetta dello Sport (with adjustments to AVW, but the AVG being the same).
For example for Robben (top-rated player) these AVG (original) ratings: Competition Season Home Team Away Team Home Score Away Score Vote World Cup 2014 Olanda Spagna 5 1 8.0 World Cup 2014 Olanda Australia 3 2 7.5 World Cup 2014 Olanda Cile 2 0 7.5 World Cup 2014 Olanda Messico 2 1 6.5 World Cup 2014 Olanda Costarica 4 3 7.5 World Cup 2014 Argentina Olanda 4 2 6.5 World Cup 2014 Olanda Brasile 3 0 7.5
Ah, ok. I was guessing that was the most likely source, but maybe this page just doesn't have the info yet for 2014 (they have been recently added I think maybe?): Fonti | DBScalcio.it In theory the page could suggest France Football, but I see that you said you thought France Football were only publishing marks for games with France playing that year anyway (unlike previous World Cups).
Hi Titanlux: I checked with vyncy for you and he said "Italian newspapers Gazzetta dello Sport e Corriere dello Sport" so it is a mix of sources you have in full (edit: not in full for CdS as alluded to) already I guess in that case. I assume that it isn't a complete mix of all ratings of both sources though (if it was I would half-expect some grades to end in .75 or .25 - where one source has a 7 and another a 6.5 or one source an 8 and the other an 8.5 for example which could surely happen). Anyway maybe on this occasion it's enough to use both the original sources that you already have (and omit the DBS Calcio ratings themselves), but with the proviso that you could check with vyncy perhaps if he has the ratings you are missing for Corriere (or perhaps, to save him or you time, you could add the DBS Calcio ratings for those games only, even if in some cases it could be double-counting or partially double-counting Gazzetta grades? - anyway up to you of course....).
This BBC page does still exist, but whether all of them do I don't know (I can't see any index to player ratings pages of games or something though): Germany v Argentina: World Cup final ratings - BBC Sport
Thanks for your suggestions. I can't seem to find the rest of the matches on the BBC... Regarding the averages, it's true I would have liked to have a few more sources, but I think that with 13 sources, and weighting the average across some sources (including Corriere dello Sport), the conclusions are almost perfect. As for the fantastic work of the DBSCalcio team, I always consider them as another source, unless I find duplicate ratings (I seem to recall that, in some cases, the Bundesliga ratings only match those from Kicker), in which case I don't combine both ratings. I'm finishing up reviewing some more data, but I hope that next week, perhaps sooner, I can publish the best ratings, taking into account the sources I used and the weighting I decided to apply.
Hi Titanlux: I would of course gladly help if I could. However, our group didn´t watch the whole tournaments anymore by 2014. That was partly due to the fact that our interest had shifted more from these big tournaments and on to the project I am doing about the 100 best footballers every year. It was also due to the fact that we thought The Euro´s and WC had lost some of its aura. In our opinion the last legendary big tournament was WC 2006 and we have not done our ratings for the whole tounament since. However, we did the ratings for the 2014 WC for the matches we watched. We did all the matches for the QF, SF and Final but for the Group Stages and L16 we only did some matches. I don´t know if it is any help when we didn´t do all matches but I can provide the ones we did. The first one was: BRAZIL vs CROATIA 3-1 Cesar 7 - D.

Let me know if it doesn´t have your interest when I do not have all matches. Otherwise I will post the matches we watched little by little as soon as I have time.

Thank you very much, mate. I'll ask you again in the future. If you don't have the ratings for all the matches (or almost all of them), I don't want you to bother me, because to include a source for calculating averages, I need ratings for most of the matches. Since I'm publishing the conclusions in my project in reverse chronological order, I'll ask for your help when I get to the World Cup and European Championship years.
Well, it would have been interesting to get some more sources, but I think with thirteen, the averages have to be very significant. These are the ones that, according to my calculations, reached at least 6.4. 1.- James Rodríguez (Colombia): 7,52 2.- Keylos Navas (Costa Rica): 7,42 3.- Robben (Holanda): 7,42 4.- Muller (Alemania): 7,13 5.- Ochoa (Méjico): 7,06 6.- Neymar (Brasil): 6,98 7.- Messi (Argentina): 6,97 8.- Alexis (Chile): 6,95 9.- Neuer (Alemania): 6,95 10.- Howard (USA): 6,93 11.- Benzema (Francia): 6,89 12.- Hummels (Alemania): 6,89 13.- Bravo (Chile): 6,87 14.- Valbuena (Francia): 6,86 15.- Schweinsteiger (Alemania): 6,83 16.- Cuadrado (Colombia): 6,81 17.- Shaqiri (Suiza): 6,78 18.- Kroos (Alemania): 6,77 19.- Aránguiz (Chile): 6,72 20.- Romero (Argentina): 6,68 21.- Lahm (Alemania): 6,68 22.- M'Bolhi (Argelia): 6,64 23.- Khedira (Alemania): 6,63 24.- Valencia, Enner (Ecuador): 6,62 25.- Mascherano (Argentina): 6,60 26.- De Bruyne (Bélgica): 6,60 27.- Gyan Asamoah (Ghana): 6,60 28.- Di María (Argentina): 6,60 29.- Yepes (Colombia): 6,59 30.- Héctor Herrera (Méjico): 6,55 31.- Bryan Ruiz (Costa Rica): 6,53 32.- Pogba (Francia): 6,51 33.- Vlaar (Holanda): 6,51 34.- Courtois (Bélgica): 6,50 35.- Márquez (Méjico): 6,46 36.- Gervinho (Costa de Marfil): 6,43 37.- Feghouli (Argelia): 6,41 38.- González, Giancarlo (Costa Rica): 6,41 39.- Ospina (Colombia): 6,41 40.- Sneijder (Holanda): 6,41 41.- Perisic (Croacia): 6,4
