Lionel Messi. Kylian Mbappé. Mikel Merino. Erling Haaland.
It’s so refreshing to watch a tournament where all of the best players on the planet turn up on the biggest stage.
Watching Haaland this tournament without the Man City baggage has been a joy. It's crazy to think he's only 25. Nothing is for certain, but with some bounces, health, fortune, and more development, he could reach Merino levels.
