Harry Maguire (England)

• Unknown to England outside the competition, Maguire prompted fans to learn more about Leicester's 25-year-old defenseman. Strong in defense and always a threat in stop ball situations, Maguire is the symbol of New England.

Yerry Mina (Colombia) [19659006] (19659006) • Deschamps was criticized for leaving big names outside the World Cup, but there was his madness.
