Tottenham ace Rodrigo Bentancur was spoilt for choice when it came to selecting his best World Cup XI from the players involved at this year's tournament. Tasked by SPURSPLAY to come up with a team, the catch was that he could only select one player per country.
Despite having 11 Tottenham players to choose from, only one made the final cut as the likes of Harry Kane, Son Heung-min, Cristian Romero and Hugo Lloris missed out completely. Starting in goal, Lloris was not selected as Belgium ace Thibaut Courtois, who was his country's hero on Wednesday evening with a penalty save against Canada, picked ahead of the experienced Frenchman.
Bentancur's next decision at right-back saw Trent Alexander-Arnold get the nod in the position, thus meaning that Kane was no longer a possibility despite his goalscoring heroics for club and country. Opting for Matthijs de Ligt and Ruben Dias as his centre-backs, Spain left-back Jordi Alba completed the backline.
