Has anyone got a link to the 'official' team of the world cup. I looked previously but couldn't find it. Luiz can't be in it. Surely.

The 'Castrol Index':

 Manuel Neuer (Germany)
 Marcos Rojo (Argentina)
 Mats Hummels (Germany)
 Thiago Silva (Brazil)
 Stefan de Vrij (Netherlands)
 Oscar (Brazil)
 Toni Kroos (Germany)
 Philipp Lahm (Germany)
 James Rodríguez (Colombia)
 Arjen Robben (Netherlands)
 Thomas Müller (Germany)
 
The Dream Team:


Manuel Neuer (Germany)
Marcelo (Brazil)
Mats Hummels (Germany)
Thiago Silva (Brazil)
David Luiz (Brazil)
Ángel di María (Argentina)
Toni Kroos (Germany)
James Rodríguez (Colombia)
Neymar (Brazil)
Lionel Messi (Argentina)
Thomas Müller (Germany)
 
Joachim Löw (Germany)
 
No idea who picks them or on what criteria though.

Vlaar was better than Silva for sure in the tournament, and how has Marcelo got in there? And David Luiz is in there based on one very good goal. Blimey

It's pretty impressive that the side that conceded the most goals apparently has three of the four best defenders.

Ron had a great WC - looked caught out for pace a couple of times

Au contraire sir!

Ron Vlaar vs Eden Hazard... superb stuff
Delighted to know I'm talking bollux Russell.
Good stuff!

No way should Luiz be in any "best of" team based on his WC performances (IMHO - please don't prove me wrong Russell!)

I find it truly laughable that Marcelo should be named in any team of the tournament. Unless it is "Hopeless Fucks of the Tournament". He truly was awful.

Surprised Ricardo Rodriguez didn't make it in to any of those teams. My 4 defenders would've been De Vrij, Hummels, Blind, and Rodriguez.

Anyway, transfers... *tumbleweed*

They didn't watch the World Cup . They were eating prawn sandwiches. Was it the same clueless idiots that voted for Messi as the player of the tournament?

Like my son Damon said so perceptively about TV pundits but it applies equally to award assessors - not one of them has ever had to pay to watch a football match so they have not got a clue what constitutes a good game or an entertaining one for the paying fans.

I think that 'official' team was actually based on a fan vote.

Luiz should play just in front of the back four. Marcelo was truly awful.He made Luna look good...

No, you are quite correct. Remember he should have been sent off against Chelsea because there was no way, NO WAY, that he would have caught Usain Ramires 30-35 yards from goal. Even Shearer said it.
