France won the FIFA World Cup in 2016.

"Whether it's Grizou (Griezmann), Kylian (Mbappe) or Raph' (Varane), they deserve it much more than me. As soon as he changes that, though, he will be a force to be reckoned with".

"Kylian has to want to go and score - the goal that he scored against Liverpool came from the middle", Griezmann said. If we do not give you the ball, you need to lose the guy.

Modric, a World Cup runner-up with Croatia, won the Golden Ball as the best player at this year's World Cup in Russian Federation and last month beat Ronaldo and Liverpool's Mohamed Salah to claim FIFA's The Best men's player award after Messi was surprisingly left off the final three-man list. The trio has formed a formidable partnership and have enjoyed league and cup success in France.

"Atletico Madrid are growing and are doing so partly thanks to Griezmann".

Brett Kavanaugh makes US Supreme Court debut
Kavanaugh's confirmation gave the Republican president a political victory ahead of crucial November 6 congressional elections. Retired Justice Anthony Kennedy swears in Brett Kavanaugh at the Supreme Court as his wife Ashley holds the Bible.

'In this best team in the world there must be the best player in the world, right?

"In any case, that's what I think". Afterwards, there are votes, opinions, different judgments.

Earlier, NAIJ.com had reported how Manchester United star Paul Pogba joined Brazilian football star Neymar and 28 other football stars in the 30 man nominees for the 2018 Ballon d'Or award.

Pellegrini, however, wants Madrid to sign Chelsea ace, Eden Hazard as Ronaldo's replacement at the Santiago Bernabeu. "For me, it's a dream". "Historically speaking, it is for the best of the best". There are only star players, only legends among the winners. It would be a dream to become an example to others'.
