Yes the Costa Rican did manage a better save/game rate but Neuer’s goalkeeping is beyond just saves. The first question that will be asked is why not Keylor Navas. Others who just miss out include Louis Van Gaal & Joachim Löw.īest Goalkeeper of the World Cup | Manuel Neuer (Germany) Who would have thought Costa Rica would emerge from the Group of Death in top spot and be just a penalty kick or two away from the semi-finals? Credit to the players especially the likes of Gonzalez, Duarte, Gamboa & Diaz, but credit also to their coach Jorge Luis Pinto for employing that 3-5-2 so successfully. He beats competition from team-mates Thomas Müller & Manuel Neuer, while both James Rodriguez & Arjen Robben came close as well.īest Coach of the World Cup | Jorge Pinto (Costa Rica) His change to his more regular right-back role actually turned Germany’s fortunes as they otherwise looked vulnerable. Leading his national team to glory, Lahm played both in midfield and at right-back in Germany’s successful campaign.

We will ofcourse also give away the award for the Best Coach at the World Cup.īest Player of the World Cup | Philipp Lahm (Germany) Thus our World Cup Primary Awards include the best performance overall at the World Cup, the best players in their respective positions and an XI of the best individuals at the tournament in Brazil. But we as an independent website are not restricted by sponsorship deals, corruption, biases and any other controversies/conspiracies. Often the most high profile names & goal-scorers are given the award. We’ve long stated that FIFA’s World Cup Golden Ball Award and their annual Ballon D’Or fails to recognise all the best performer adequately. Nevertheless, here are the best performers at the World Cup divided into Primary Awards, Talent Radar Awards and Secondary Awards. There are some surprises, and also occasions where the hipsters may not be pleased. We at Outside of the Boot thought long & hard before deciding our choices which might just be a bit more fair & rational than FIFA’s choices! While FIFA gave out it’s individual honours with Messi the choice for Golden Ball particularly bewildering football enthusiasts. Germany won the World Cup, but many other individuals & teams left admirers in their wake. With the World Cup drawn to a close, many are left disappointed while others celebrate their achievements.
