[PaulFCB]

Rakitic didn't move after a successful World Cup, he can't be a Poborsky.
Also, Pogba is already a player with many offers, a Poborsky case for Barca would be something like Deulofeu, Suarez at best, but they ain't at the WC this year.

Poborsky was a player from the Czech Republic, playing in his country, not a big name at all, that made a very good Euro 1996 where he reached the final lost in ET against Germany and got transferred to Manchester United.

 

[ManusXavi]

Golden ball: Karim Benzema - First World Cup. To me he is no longer Benzemiss and desires to prove himself. I believe he will be extra motivated as well to keep out Remy.
Golden boot: Karim Benzema
Golden glove: Neuer - His facial expressions during Bayerns home leg loss to Madrid. Coutois close 2nd even though I don't believe Belguim will go far.
Best young player: Pogba
Surprise: Karim Benzema
The Poborsky: No idea
Flop: Xavi

I did this as a joke but fark Benzema what the heck? so far so good
