Manuel Neuer was already considered by many to be the best goalkeeper in the world. Now he can officially be considered the best goalkeeper at the 2014 World Cup after winning the Golden Glove award.
Coming into the tournament, many would have pegged the Bayern Munich star as a favorite to bring home the honour, and with Germany's World Cup win, he placed himself ahead of the pack in Brazil.
He was a perfect embodiment of a sweeper keeper; charging off his line to make crucial last-ditch tackles with an astonishing precision. Without him, there's a good chance Germany would've been eliminated against Algeria in the first knockout round.
Meanwhile, Pogba shone in a France team that underperformed in Brazil. Didier Deschamps' side were strong enough to really shine, though were eliminated by Germany in the quarterfinals. That was despite the efforts of their wonderkid midfielder, who performed with his usual industry in the centre of the pitch.
Capable of tough tackling and delicate passing, he's a wonderful all-rounder. Don't worry world, he'll back for a good few World Cups yet.
