I can only assume you didn't actually watch it, as Mats Hummels was easily the best CB there. I thought Hummels looked a bit suspect in the final, and Messi exposed his lack of pace a couple of times. Compared to how Vlaar handled him in the semi-finals I wouldn't say there was much, if anything, between them.That's just one game. Hummels had a better tournament than Vlaar.

Hummels had a better tournament than Vlaar.I wonder if you would be saying that if he wasn't a Villa player? For some people nowadays it has become quite fashionable to find new ways to bash our own.
If you were naming your team of the tournament, Vlaar and Hummels would possibly be most people's centre backs, although apparently somehow Luiz got chosen in the official one I think.
Ron had a great WC - looked caught out for pace a couple of times
