    Of those you didn't mention, I'd only add:
    Bono for Morocco, excellent distribution and didn't concede to an opponent until the semi final. Molina for Argentina has been excellent at right back and right wing back. Then a couple of veteran goalscorers stood out in the group stage, Valencia of Ecuador and Aboubakar of Cameroon.
    Edit: I forgot Doan for Japan, super sub of the tournament.

    Martinez over Livakovic is mental.

    A few players that stood out for me that weren't mentioned:
    - Behich for Australia - Was very consistent and nearly scored a goal of the tournament contender against Argentina
    - Casemiro - If it wasn't for Amrabat I think he would be the best DM of the tournament. Unsurprisingly so good in a team that placed a lot of responsibility in him.
    - Davies for Canada - Obviously Canada didn't do great, but Davies was so good in all the games I saw. Dragging the team forward in a role which had him perform so many different actions for his team all over the pitch.
    - all of the USA's midfield - all adept technically, physical and brilliant in the press.
    - Bounou for Morocco - In my view the best keeper in the tournament. Some incredible saves.
    - Molina - Always provided some width in an Argentina that really lacked any, and was pretty dangerous when moving into central areas as we saw with the goal against the Netherlands.
    - Harry Maguire - as a United fan this is in part bias, but I felt he was among England's best players. Didn't have the highs of Bellingham or Saka but was so consistent, the relatively ropey first 20 against Senegal aside.

    I'm honestly stumped on the GK of the tourney. Martinez did great in the PKs vs Nederlands but other than that has not been spectacular. His Whoscored rating is quite low (6.48) and he's averaged only 0.7 saves per game, yet has conceded 5 goals in 6 games.
    Bounou held the tightest defence at the WC until the semi-finals, then perhaps made an error on Theo Hernandez's all-important opening goal. His Whoscored stats are likewise unimpressive (6.50, 1.2 saves per games), but he did feel like a safer pair of hands than Martinez.
    Livakovic was a clear standout, with a higher Whoscored rating (6.71) and making 3.4 saves a game. However, he also conceded 5 goals in 6 games. He was heroic in the PKs vs Japan, though I think he may have made a mistake against Neymar in the QFs with the way he came out, and potentially made another mistake that led to the PK and opening goal vs Argentina in the SF.
    Szczesny, honestly, is who I am leaning towards. His Whoscored rating is overwhelmingly the best (7.88), and he made an astonishing 5.8 saves a game, including two penalty saves. The Pole's claim only suffers because of a R16 elimination and 5 goals conceded in only 4 games played.
    It's not a perfect evaluation, but it's clear that goalkeeping standards at this tournament are nowhere near standards set by Kahn 2002, Buffon 2006, Casillas 2010, or Neuer 2014.

They are midtable at the moment, but they can come back to their heights soon hopefully. I do agree that Amrabat deserves a way better team like Man City or Liverpool, 100%. He is litterally in everyone's best XI of the World Cup. Amrabat is the best DM in the world right now, no question about that (the only one in mind that could compete is Kante, but he's injured and wouldn't probably come back to his prime).

    My team of the tournament looks like this:

    RB: Nahuel Molina
    LB: Theo Hernandez
    CB: Gvardiol
    CB: Romero
    CDM: Rodri
    CM: Modric
    CM: Enzo Fernandez
    RW: Messi (🐐🐐)
    LW: Julian Alvarez
    ST: Mbappe
    My reasons: Emi Martinez was class in 2022, he kept 3 clean sheets but should have had at least 5 if it weren't for defensive mistakes by Otamendi, Nahuel Molina has also been brilliant making great tackles, creating space and chances and overall being a menace to opposing right sided players, Theo also gets in with amazing defensive displays and a up lifting goal to send France to back to back WC finals, in midfield, Rodri played the tournament of his life he should easily get in, Modric still at 36-37 is playing like he's 25 with brilliant passing and great vision, Enzo has been the breakout star of the tournament with a blinder against Mexico and 2 assists including one in the final, he played amazing football. In attack it has to be Alvarez, 4 goals and 2 assists in just 6 games, on the right, it had to be Messi, 7 goals and 3 assists including a brace in the final he was himself, as ST I can't look past Mbappe, who's stopping him, Richarlison? 8 goals and an assist he carried France to the final.
