Best and worst coach of the WC?

Best Van Gaal, not just for his amazing rabbit out of hat moments, but overall the fact that he took a Dutch team that was supposed to struggle to get out of their group to third place is very impressive.

There's a lot of candidates for worst, I'd go with Del Bosque though, I'm fairly confident a better coach could've taken Spain to the final.

lol at Cameroon over algeria.
like i said , they base this on hype, name , and pretty much everything non-football you can think of .
in every tournament you'll have criminally underrated teams and with it the possibility to make money .

i should've put some money on algeria to advance past the first round , printing money basically...

Because algeria is a poor arabic country and those idiots probably rate us down with lebanon and saudi arabia

ghoulam, taider, ghilas, soudani, bentaleb, halliche, slimani, feghouli, brahimi.. i can go on, these players are very good

I think Deschamps should be mentioned too...  he took a NT in 2012 that had an awful midfield and questionable mentality to one that is very organized, tries to play good footy (surprisingly) and works as a collective.  Also had the balls to push aside entitled players like Nasri and Rami and take chances on kids like Varane, Pogba, Digne, Cabella, Griezmann, Sakho, Mangala and Schneiderlin.  Lacazette was in the pre-WC 30 too... so he's going to get there.

Very satisfied.  The NT has a clear direction and very strong leadership from Deschamps.  Haven't had anything remotely close to this since Jacquet.

@ Giggity.. just curiously. Do all Algerians consider themselves Arab?
