As someone who isn't a massive fan of Otamendi, I can't deny he's been brilliant in this tournament and I can't believe he didn't even get a mention.
Obviously he won’t be mentioned but harry Maguire will be 😂💀not even Varane
otamendi is surely one of the most underrated players in the world because of the herds of overly emotional football fans who can't separate personality from actual quality on the pitch. like, yeah, he's a disrespectful player overall, but his main job isn't to be respectful, it's to DEFEND, and he's still one hell of a defender, which was proved by this world cup (unbeaten on club level this season, champions league included btw)
If otamendi didn’t play for Argentina he would get yellow carded the twice a game.
@@Sharibatinx Lol that's funny because Otamendi is probably the only player that's not true of
@@Sharibatinx no
Did you seriously try to say that England had the toughest group? Why can't the English never stop clasping at straws?
Tbf if you go of fifa rankings they did have the hardest group
@@barneydavies6934 noone goes by fifa rankings.
The toughest group was Spain Japan Germany costa Rica
Or morroco Croatia Canada Belgium
He said it was the highest ranked group which is true
@@barneydavies6934muh fifa rankings
Wouldn’t be a Rory Jennings video without him mentioning Chelsea beating Arsenal in Baku 😂
When talking about Maguire: ‘Senegal were never gonna cause England problems’
When talking about Bellingham: ‘The way he seized the day against Senegal, he was a man possessed’
If this isn’t clear proof of an agenda idk what is, give Maguire the credit where it is due.
Maguire was alright he been shaky I done didn't mark giroud well which caused giroud to get infront of him and score, John stones has been way better
When Maguire & Stones were needed most against France, they didn’t step up. Multiple times Giroud kept getting in between them.
They had decent tournaments, but can’t be near TOTT shouts.
Maguire getting praised for doing his job ffs 😂
Was average at best
You’re so stupid😂😂 one is defence & one is in attack.
Senegal had a far better defence then their attack
How can you not include Ounahi from Morocco he basically was one of the best players on the field against Spain, Portugal and France unlike someone who performed against the likes of Iran, Wales and Senegal
How they leave Luka Modric out of this team’s midfield boggles my mind.
He's not Chelsea players or English
Lets be honest Modric is still class but those 3 have been better this WC
He's not been better than those 3 they chose mate but great world cup still
People are giving all the credit for Croatia reaching the semis to Modric. It's about time some other Croatian players get their dues. Those other 3 all deserve to be in the team after their performances aswell.
Modric wasn't even the best Croatian Midfielder in the tournament
I think Varane-Otamendi, even one of the moroccan centerbacks have had a better world cup than Thiago silva-Maguire... Also shoutout to enzo fernandez, what a player
Otamendi? Don't make me laugh. Varane has had his shaky moments as well. Saiss has been one of the best defenders at the tournament. It should be him and Gvardiol.
@@areebsiddiqui758 my guy, did you not see me give credit to the Moroccan or what? I said otamendi and varane were better than maguire-silva, the pick between the others is a different debate
English bias strikes again! Maguire? Over Gvardiol? Aguerd? Saiss? Konate? Varane?
Joke 🤦♂️
@@Sajdar85 Konate and Aguerd barely played.
@@areebsiddiqui758 They may not have played as much as Silva or Otamendi but its not always about how many games they played but how good they played
Maguire and Silva played 5 games, Konate 3 but I would argue Konate was better in those 3 games
Argentina's defence has overall been brilliant and Otamendi is at the centre of it - you might not believe he is a good player, but this tournament he has been massive
otamendi is still argentina's best defender, whether people like it or not, and that shouldn't be a surprise, as he's the captain of one of the only unbeaten teams in top flight european football + champions league this season
They shout out Maguire but not otamendi. Shameless

Acuna has been horrible
Very good starting XI in my opnion (some of oyur subs are awfull tho), but you put some players in wrong positions haha.
You can't put both Bruno and Griezmann as centremids, they are both attacking midfielders.
Feel like you forcing players in this way. It's not a list of best players, it's a team and like this you take away a spot from actual central midfielders....
More importantly it's also just not where Bruno played this tournament, he played right winger...
Same with Messi, he played as a striker this tournament.... weird to put him right winger imo.
Also would defenitely put Saïss as a centerback over Otamendi.
Argentina's defensive have looked so weak and shaky. Only when they played 5 at the back, they were somewhat stable defensively.

How is Modric not in the team and Bellingham is? Yes Bellingham had a breakout world cup but Modric was just pure class against both Brazil and Argentina.
Modric has to be in there
modric was great but if anyone from that croatian midfield makes this team its kovacic, he was unreal
I'd have too agree that's heys also been great for Croatia but with modric as a player there's not many like him , heys great to watch 👍
Moldric isn't English
And that was it.. I’m not English but modric wasn’t even that special this tournament.
Moroccos entire back line should be in the team of the tournament mazouri and saiss were amazing this tournament
Spencer talking about saudi arabia vs argentina game. It was one game, and saudi arabia scored 2 goals on 2 shots. Argentinian defense, especially otamendi has been rock solid
you are talking about a guy who rates Southgate and Maguire. I mean that tells you enough
They weren't that rock solid. Almost blew a 2 goal lead against Aus, did blow a 2 goal lead against Netherlands and did the same against France (plus another in ET)
@@guneytopal7076 Maguire did have a decent world cup though tbf
Agree with most picks, Romain Saïss and Théo Hernandez probably deserve a spot.
Hernandez got toasted by saka
@@Newerasamearea agreed. He also won every game, scored in the semi final, and assisted Mbappé vs Denmark. Great tournament overall.
I'd put modric over Bellingham based on this world cup alone
@@carloszulu1157 modric wasn’t even that good haha
@@carloszulu1157 modric was not so much good this WC. You people are hyping him because of his status. He was not even the best Croatian midfielder it was Kovacic.
Rory is absolutely jokes. He doesn't know ball.
What ball.?
@@alextaylor397 Football
After what he said about haaland whats the point of even getting him back on lol
I mean Spencer is on the same boat so this video is pretty pointless.
One of the Moroccan centre backs must be in, 4 clean sheets in 5 games before the France game.
Sky sports is full of people who only watch woman’s football so no surprises they clueless
You could probably just do the whole defence
Exactly
Saiss ex Wolves did well
and even that france game, Aguerd didn't play and saiss started with an injury and was subbed off after 20minutes; The starting CB patrnership didn't concede a goal playing Croatia, Belgium, spain and portugal. (and conceded one on a deflected cross vs canada)
As an Aussie huge W from Rory with Behich should be on the board though, if he scored from that run against Argentina it would’ve been the goal of the tournament.
Souttar was our best player the entire tournament but with how stacked the CB position is, it’s understandable he doesn’t get in
I couldn't believe what I was seeing when I saw that run. He was at my club, PSV for a year and he was probably one of the worst players I've ever seen wear a PSV shirt. Good on him though, love 🇦🇺 after studying in Sydney for a semester.
Livakovic

how has no one mentioned Ounahi.He was balling throughout the tournament
spencer did
@@ryanmoss5753 no it was rory who mentioned him
Varane is so so under rated, has been very solid for France.
😂
I feel the same way about Upamecano
@@aohohonope9082 Konate is better imo.
@@imranhashmi3858 well you're wrong. The was a reason why he was the marking messi
No not french defenders, they leaked goals almost every single game. Konate is the only one that was solid but again he hasn't played much
Chelsea’s champions league win run, in the group stages giroud had the perfect game.
4 goals, left foot, right foot to chip the goal keeper, bullet header, penalty.
Got bicycle kick that run also.
Great player
Respect that Rory picked Ake. So underrated. He was insane! By far the best dutch player in the tournament
Not as good as van djik though
Bonou and Tchoumani intentionally excluded
why bonou intentionally?
Tchoumani not heing in is a joke
@@sdproductions9660 who’s he going in over though
@@ofnnamdi4235 Bellingham or amrabat... since he has been just as good if not better than both and actually.managws to beat both of their teams...
@@MrDingDongPong Nah man, you're pushing it way too far. The guy woke up in the quarter finals against England then gave a stupid pen right away. He wasn't good against Morocco where griezman had to cover for him and neither did he in the final where Argentina domined the midfield. Don't get me wrong, he's a good midfielder, but he was not good enough to deserve a spot in the best XI.
Everyone saying if maguire doesn't have his tag everyone will say he was phenomenal.... It's actually quite the opposite I think everyone are overpraising maguire more as a pity.... Not that he had a bad worldcup he was actually decent but to have him as a shout for one of the best defender in wc is just outrageous
Completely agree
1st choice/2nd choice best 11:

Spencer putting in Maguire is hilarious…whether it’s England or West Ham, he’s always so swayed by his bias
I like how they did not mention tchouameni in the team or even young player of the tournament as he had to fill the left by kante and pogba
Honorable mention for my boy tchouameni
Konate, Otamendi as center backs
Konate barely played.
Saiss>>Konate only because konate only played like 3 matches
@@leightonmcclure5975 fair enough
@@leightonmcclure5975 Fair enough but Konate has been a monster in those 3 games!
Back 3 of Konate, Saiss and Gvardiol would be better
Konate doesn’t even start for France 😂
I know this is recorded before the final and picking players from all teams is customary when doing the team of the tournament, but, since there are so many different opinions and disagreements over such choices, I think it's safe to say that realistically the team of the tournament is always the team made of the players who played best and most from the squad that wins the said tournament, with the substitutes being the similar players of the squad that finished second, i.e. Argentina's first eleven (subs: France's first eleven).
However... when it comes to the coach of the tournament, since the favorites usually finish high because of their players, he has to be the one managing the outsider squad that had the best performance compared to the expectations, i.e. Morocco's coach (asistant coach: either Croatia's coach for repeating a top 4 finish or Japan's coach for eliminating two of the favorites).
What they did here (and what FIFA will do as well later on) would be better called "individual performances of the tournament". A "team" chosen like that would have little chemistry anyway.
Maguire was decent throughout the tournament but once again as soon as England played France, a more intelligent player in Giroud got the better of him for the second goal. The ball literally went off Maguire to make it 2-1 but everyone forgot that immediately because of the missed pen.
Giroud does that to all defenders he’s just too strong maguire played really well in the World Cup
I dont think Maguire is a good player at all.. Overated..
@@thewizardtv1300 I mean you have a point, even Van Dijk said he was the trickiest player to play against because he's just inexplicably jammy lol but regardless it's clear if you watch it back that he should have done better in that moment.
@@jimmyhedbverg5852 how was he overrated when half of the world dont even rate him.. nobody ever think he is one of the best or gonna be the best. overrated ls for player like TAA where ppl think he gonna be one of the best and turn out to be trash. or like van dijk where ppl literally disrespect the like of ramos and maldini by claimimg he is up there with them
Rory praising Bellingham’s performance against Senegal, while suggesting that Maguire’s performances were futile as Senegal should be beaten comfortably by England. The hypocrisy is hilarious
He's saying Maguire wasn't tested in those games.
@@leemc5646 then neither was Bellingham. It works both ways
this team is sooo perfect, just as i would have done mine. Only thing which is absolutely stupid (my point of view)-Guerrio? My god hernandez was sooo good, i dont know how you can come with guerrio, crazy. And myself i find otamendi was a bitt better than silva because of the longer tournament, and otamendi is really underrated(dont know how they didnt say a thing about him)
I am glad that English fans finally got to terms with the fact that Trent is not the best right back in the world
I would argue that bono the Moroccan gk should be there and bruno fernandes should be there instead of bellingham
Penandes? 😂😂😂
2 goals, 2 assists. Not a hype merchant like Bellingham
definitely or enzo Fernandez is a good shout instead
@@LynkJDL1 Amrabat, Modric, Griezmann, Tchouemeni, Mac Allister, Ounahi, Enzo Fernandes all clear of Penandes and Bellingham

Shocking that the Morocco keeper is not in there. Only conceded 1 goal before the Semis and is one of the top 3 keepers in La Liga
Faced way less shots than Livakovic or Sczesny, Bono was a great keeper but the Moroccan defence did most of the work for him
I hear you but what about his goalkeeping heroics against Spain saving all 3 pens and the worldy he pulled off from Felixs shot
@@deeznoots6241 tbh I really don't know how we should rated GKs. GKs also have some (Maybe even more depending on the CBs.) responsibility in controlling the defensive lines and if everything work well, they wouldn't face any shots.. and then, they wouldn't be rated higher for that? I'm a bit confused.
Honourable mentions: Richarlison, tchouameni, Bruno fernandes, bono, Cuti Romero, Alvarez
otamendi was better than cuti romero
@@hempar9612 I disagree. Otamendi was consistently solid but Romero adds a new dimension of aggression and gets out more. He’s a unique defender.
@@tonyjones4451 as far as what I saw he is the 3rd best defender in Argentina behind Otamendi and Lisandro

ST : Messi (since striker is where he actually plays..)
There is literally nothing debateble here.
It's actually one of the most clear team of the tournaments ever.
Maybe a French centreback tbf... that's it.
Messi was SS and AMF behind Martinez/Lautaro, sometimes moving to RW throughout the World Cup. He was never a ST in this tournament.
@@ardi1606
When in posession he dropped back a bit to get involved in the build up and creation part of the game. But in defense, the other attackers did all the work, and he took a striker position. A SS is also a striker btw, just a different type of striker. It literally means second striker.
@@ardi1606
Yeah, nice piece of information but it didn't have much to do with the thing i said. Everyone put Messi at right winger, i decided to put him striker since that's the position most similar to what he played. Team like this are usually done in a 433, so there is not second striker, only 1... that's why i put Messi there. Where else would you put Messi in a 4-3-3? Its defenitely nor right wing and i really hope you don't think he can play as an attacking midfielder in 433...
@@jordyvanschaik6144 It has anything to do with your statement, if you read them carefully. You said "Messi actually play as striker", which is not true. Messi never sit in opposite defensive line which is the role of a striker, he's always involved in the link up plays, infact he's the main playmaker. Also SS and ST are completely different.
RW is his preffered position. Although they put him as right wing he would still have his free role. Never once in the entire tournament Messi played as striker.
@@ardi1606 im not talking about a deep striker, like a number nine. When using the term striker, it just means any type of striker in general. So either a penalty box striker (like Haaland), a second striker, a centre forward, a false nine. All are forms of roles on how to fill in that striker position. You are consufing roles, with position. In 433, there is only one striker position. So wether you are a deep striker, a centreforwards, a second striker or a false 9... all should be put at striker when making a team in 433.....
Good team tbf, only 2 I'd swap are Saiss for Silva & Acuna for Guerreiro
Bonou
Hakimi
Otamendi
Gvardiol
Molina
Amrabat
Tchouameni
Enzo
Messi
Griezmann
Mbappe
The only correct team 👍
Griezman hasn’t really been a forward in the tournament. Think Alvarez in and swap griezman for a midfielder
molina plays right not left
@@davidallardice1657 i cant drop any midfielders thats why i put him up top.
@@hempar9612 i know that, i couldnt think of a left back Theo has been alright but not as good as ppl think he has been
Tchouameni hasn't been good enough, conceded a pen against England, his midfield was dominated in the final, Griezman was playing DM at times against Morocco to help him out, he missed his pen in the final and hasn't been convincing in other games too... He's a very good midfielder but wasn't up to it in this WC. I'd put Griezman instead, and Julian Alvarez up top.
Otamendi was very good at times and very bad at others (I'm thinking of the pen given to france that changed the game and some other situations like against the Saudi Arabia), plus his height and lack of strength doesn't help him specially in set pieces and long balls. One can easily put Saiss or Varane instead.
Enzo is cool, I'd definitely pick Modric instead (Ounahi and Kovacic are good picks too but Modric wins it for me).
I agree with you on Molina, one could pick one of Morocco's LBs (way better than Theo H defensively anyways) but Molina was immense for Argentina (Hakimi was the only one better than him in this tournament) deserves a place for me and him scoring that last pen is the icing on the cake.
Other than this, very solid best XI 👍

Maguire was next to Giroud for 7 secs before the headed goal.. He stood there shouting at other players, and at no point marked Giroud.. The only aerial threat as the cross comes in.. That's his basic job.. In the big moment, he didn't even switch on.
Tchouaméni and Theo Hernandez not being in this 11 is just pure STUPIDITY! 😂🤣🙄🤦🏾♂️
great tournament
Rory may talk the utmost of nonsense at times but he’s speaking facts about Maguire here
Bono should be in this team
Livakovic made more saves in one game than bono did the entire tournament, and was brilliant in penalty shootouts too
No. He should stick to music, I've always loved U2
@@oscarwebb26 To be fair, Bono did great too and saved all his pens. Saves percentage in game and in pens should matter more. For me, there isn't much difference between the two. It's all down to personal preference
Livakovic is a good choice but for me Bounou of Morocco has to be there they had no business making it to the semi finals and they wouldn’t have done it without him.
So just to be clear Spencer wanted two players from the quarter finalists England (Maguire and bellingham). A team who beat mighty Iran, Wales and Senegal. And only one from argentina, a team who has beaten minnows like Netherlands and Croatia. No wonder the rest of the world always supports teams other than England even when they are premier league supporting fans.

@@stupidusername38 This is kind of dumb - it’s not really a best team of the tournament it’s like you’ve done a list of your favourite players from this tournament - Arguably Livakovic did better than Bonou - Hakimi is fair so is Gvardiol - Dest isn’t a CB so to play him out of position is disingenuous Varane or Otamendi or Saiss should go in for me - Theo Hernandez > Al - Braik, Can’t believe you don’t have Messi and Mbappe in over Mitoma and Davies but the rest is fair although Giroud / Alvarez and Modric / Ounahi is debatable. I’d say Livakovic - Hernandez - Varane - Gvardiol - Hakimi - Amrabat - Modric - Griezmann (CAM) - Mbappe - Giroud - Messi although it’s close between Tchouemeni and Amrabat and Modric and Ounahi. I think having players knocked out in the group makes no sense. It’s clear the players who made it to the semi finals / finals are the best!
@@JohnHolywell yup, plenty of great players mentioned there, it was difficult making a choice. To be fair i haven't been that impressed with Mbappe, we've seen that when teams 2 up on him he'd been marked out of matches. I don't rate Hernandez, i see him and Kounde as the weak links in the France back line. In terms of including players knocked out early on. That would be a bit harsh as you can have good players in average teams, you can see they are quality but the team overall just couldn't do the business. What we've seen is that the difference between the established nations and the less fancied ones is the ability to score. In all other areas they have been well matched.
I agree that Hernandez is way too shaky at the back, and there are some undeserving players in your selection. Here is what I deem as being the best XI :
GK - Bounou/Livakovic/Szczesny
RB - Hakimi
CB - Gvardiol
CB - Saiss

DM - Amrabat

livakovic; hakimi, gvardiol, otamendi, hernandez; amrabat, enzo, griezmann; mbappe, messi, alvarez
Argentina Winning the world cup with EASILY 6 Starters in the TOTT (Messi, fernandez, otamendi, martinez, mac allister, alvarez) and you guys are debating about Harry Maguire?!?! 🤣🤣🤣 My god... that speaks for itself
Dissapointing that Di Maria didn't get a shout out. He was the key player for Argentina to win the World Cup.
Enzo Fernandez or McAlister deserve to be in this team.
Enzo
Amrabat is THE player of the tournament. Only right that he's in there.
Hakimi is my player but I think Molina for Argentina was superb and need to be NO.1
Joe's ball knowledge is in the dump if he thinks Theo Hernandez should get in at left back lol
THIS IS HORRENDOUS 😭😭😭
We all know that no matter how well Maguire performs he's just not getting picked in the end, similar case with Bruno.
