THE BEST CENTRE-BACK AT THE 2026 FIFA WORLD CUP.
I think the best one is playing at his side Laporte on my book has been better
I really liked this World Cup Spain teamβeven with their somewhat disastrous debut, they played very well and showed great unity.
Laporte was excellent, too.
Definitely, he has completed a great match. Not only him but Laporte too.
Yes, it was a good match, I enjoyed it quite a bit, although France seemed to be playing nervously.
It's refreshing to see a centre-back get recognition. Great defending can be just as exciting as scoring goals.
