It's maybe the five biggest names in the tournament, apart from Laminia Mal, who's still got time to make a mark himself.
So it really has been, more than any other World Cup I can remember, a World Cup of the superstars.
And let's hope it continues into the signature games.
Well, Haaland's...
goal tally is arguably the most impressive of all of them because he missed an entire game against France so he's had 90 fewer minutes and the games that he's played he's played against Senegal Ivory Coast and Brazil I think those are three of the toughest games that any of those top scorers have played and he's just he always finds a way he is inevitable
Well, he saved the penalty from Somerville.
Where he didn't even dive.
He just shuffled across his line and punched it away from a standing position when Somerville went for the top left corner.
That shows when you see that he saved from him and Mbappe two completely different penalties.
He's doing his homework on these takers and their tendencies, because if Somerville had taken the penalty like Mbappe, he would have seen what Bono was doing and could have just gone the other side.
But he's obviously not a goalkeeper dependent taker.
I actually think we're in a really cool place with where penalties are, the evolution of them, because goalkeepers have never been more aware of how to combat different types of penalty.
The odds are stacked against you as a goalkeeper from a penalty.
We know this statistically, but...
They've managed to level the playing field somewhat with the amount of homework that they can do.
All of these takers have years of penalties on Weisskau or whatever that these goalkeepers, their analysts.
I interviewed Christoph Lolleschon who worked with Petr Cech for a long time a couple of weeks ago and he was talking about the work they did in the run-up to Munich 2012.
So this is a long-term trend at the elite level of football.
And we're seeing it in the World Cup.
And I think it's really, really good because when a team gets a penalty now, there's a level of jeopardy, I think far in excess what there ever was before.
